Go see "A Star is Born"

While not Pianoteq, maybe someone could convince Lady GaGa to start playing it.

Anyway, I went to see the remade "A Star is Born" last night - Fantastic.  My vote for the Oscar for Best Actress in a Starring Role.  She has got to be one of the most talented, and additionally one of the hardest-working performers - having either quality is great, but having both is truly first rate.

From the piano world, the movie has several scenes of her writing music on the piano and then performing in different venues.  And Bradley Cooper did a nice job with his guitar scenes, but his two piano scenes are utterly unconvincing.  That's OK, because his portrayal of the tormented musician is great.  Makes me want to see the Streisand-Kristofferson movie just for comparison.

Speaking of Lady GaGa, I read that her name is lifted from the 1984 Queen song, Radio GaGa.  ...which is a segueway for me to say that the Queen biography "Bohemian Rhapsody" opens in the theaters here in the United States November 2!
