If I could choose, it would be to go to an art museum, maybe the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or go revisit the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.
A day packed full of wonder, shared with a friend, of course. Tiring but well worth it.

I do miss easy access to a beach. Nothing like a sea breeze and walk along the beach is there

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than, with permission, be allowed a whole morning getting used to the Great Sauer Organ, Berlin, and then given the rest of the day to play anything I wish.
Great ‘Sauer’ organ | Berliner Dom
EDIT … an organist plays the whole building and not just the organ👍

During a holiday in Guernsey a few years ago, we were walking past the local church in St Peter port and heard the beautiful sound of the church organ. The door was open and we ventured in to an empty church where a young lad of about 15 was playing some classical pieces. We sat down and was mesmerised by the sound. We sat for over half an hour before his parents arrived to take him home. Apparently, they would come to do their shopping and with the permission of the vicar he practised his mastery of the keyboard.
One of life’s magical moments we will never forget…

The emptier the building, the greater the resonance from the organ. A full house with clothed people absorbs too much and can slightly dull the best of performances.

Yes, spot on there Foxy and in some buildings the resonance with differing reflected/adsorbed sound can spoil the intended sound. The Royal Festival Hall was designed with sound in mind, but in reality, it did not perform exactly as expected and over time adjustments and differing additions were made.

I’ve never felt comfortable in a room with clumpy wooden or tiled floors, it reminds me of the assembly hall at school where we congregated first thing in the morning for prayers. Probably too much reverberation…I much prefer carpeted floors.

Sympathetic Resonance is what you have referred to and in building structures this is mostly unwanted, but in some musical instruments such as my Sitar, it is what makes its individual sound; mine has 13 sympathetic (non playing) strings which gives it a superb unique sound.

Thought for today. I would probably think for the day instead of just exist.

Knowing me, I’d spend the whole day trying to think of the perfect way to spend the day, and not committing to anything in case I then think of something better!
