‘When everyone you meet has some beautiful memory of your father,
you start believing that you knew him, too.’
– Franz Mozart (Mozart’s son), Imaginary Letters, Mozart Remembered.

Imaginary Letters: Mozart Remembered explores the influence of Mozart’s life on his music, interweaving reminiscences of Mozart from letters written by his wife Constanzi, son Franz, cousin Anna and associates, including Salieri & Schikaneder. An original play adapted for the stage by Peter Coy from the book by Michael White, it was originally commissioned for the Wintergreen Summer Music Festival, where it received its world premiere in July, 2010. Juilliard Professor Michael White has drawn upon a lifetime of research, teaching, listening, and — most of all — admiring and loving Mozart and his music to paint this poignant & entertaining portrait of the great composer.

Los Angeles, California
For roughly two years fans of The Waltons have not been able to view the highly popular series in reruns. The long running CBS television series was created by Nelson County, Virginia native, Earl Hamner, Jr. who was born and raised in Schuyler. The show was loosely based on his childhood in the Eastern Nelson County community. On October 18th a special reunion featuring many of the original cast members will air on a new cable television network called, INSP, short for Inspiration. The special television reunion will air at 7PM EDT followed at 8PM by the very first episode of The Waltons. According to a promotion placed on YouTube, reruns will then air on the network.

Nelson County, Virginia
Nelson County Life grew just a bit on the last day of September 2010. (If you are a friend of ours on Facebook, you read the updates on Thursday) Peyton Ashley Stafford came into this world right in the middle of a massive flooding rain that slammed Central Virginia and the east coast! Yes, the trip to Martha Jefferson was an eventful one at 3AM during a blinding wind driven rain, but everyone is just fine! Peyton definitely pushed her weight around. She came into this world at 9lbs 12 ozs with a length of 21.5″. Yvette labored only 2.5 hours from the time we left Nelson until the time Peyton was born. Kudos to Dr. Christine Wamhoff and the nurses at MJH who were ready the minute we hit the door. Good thing, because Peyton didn’t linger long!

We also have to send out a very sincere thanks to our NCL Photographer, Hayley Osborne (cover photographer for the 2010 October issue of NCL being distributed now) who has been on standby for days and days to see after Adam once the time came. In the pouring rain, Hayley came over at 3AM and saw after Adam while mommy and daddy headed off into the night toward Charlottesville for the birth. You rock Hayley!

Peyton joins her brother, Adam Stafford, the already established, Junior Publisher here at NCL. We told you about his arrival two years ago this past September 28th.

We can’t say enough good things about the countless people who have sent emails or comments on our Facebook page about Peyton’s arrival. We are all very touched by your kindness and generosity.

Everyone is just fine and resting up for the next issue of NCL.

We are pretty sure that publisher’s pic on page 5 will have an addition in the November issue.:-)

Nelson County, Virginia
September 2010 started off very dry, but ended very wet! As we’ve been talking about here at NCL over in Tommy’s Weather, heavy rains and lots of tropical moisture hit the area Thursday creating flooding in some parts of Nelson. By far the hardest hit areas were in the coastal regions of the state and the DC area. Click here to see rainfall totals across the Mid-Atlantic area including Nelson.

Raging water heads down the Rockfish River behind Wintergreen Winery Thursday afternoon.

Our NCL Weathernet stations showed anywhere from 2.5 inches of rain all the way up to 5+ inches of rain for the period ending at midnight on September 30th.

CBS-19 in Charlottesville has a nice summary for the month of September in Brantley’s blog here.

Here's a snapshot of other Nelson rainfall totals as of Thursday evening via The Automated Flood Warning System. Click to enlarge.

The upcoming weekend will be a stark contrast to the recent heavy rains.
