A Sunday revelation at Seattle Chamber Music Society’s concert at Benaroya: Brahms’ Op. 114 trio that combines cello, clarinet and piano.

Here is video of the Oscine Trio performing the 2nd movement.

I worked on this with my piano trio, Press Play, three years ago. It was a butt kicker, to paraphrase Microsoft COO Kevin Turner. We’ve downgraded to Op. 1, No. 1.

Chase needs to move to the cloud. NOW. On premise or public. Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, whatever.

If you are a competing bank with an online system that is elastic, redundant and secure — meaning you do not shut down for 48 hours to do maintenance or for three hours every Sunday morning — I’m interested in moving my business to your bank.

Here’s the email I received today from Chase:
