The KDFC Classical Star Search finals were last night and it was a memorable evening full of highlights and heartbreak. I was way out of my league as one of 3 judges, with cellist Zuill Bailey and SFO music director Donald Runnicles. But let me tell you what these guys were doing before the show. Killing time in the green room, demonstrating the latest “apps” on their iPhones! Zuill was very proud of having downloaded an app. that allows you to wield your iPhone like a light saber, Star Wars sound effects and all. Donald showed us one called iSteam in which the iPhone screen appears to be covered in condensation. Use your thumb to rub it off and listen to the squeaky sounds! I must say I was amazed to see these two world-class classical musicians totally smitten by something so mundane as an iPhone app. Or is it just a guy thing?

  1. Hi. I’m curious about the winners/participants in the Star Search. Some of them are very shy! I’d like to find out where they study, where I can hear them…

  2. It’s totally a guy thing. As someone told me today, “the only difference between boys and men is the price of their toys”!
