I really enjoyed the four-season Amazon show Mozart in the Jungle about the wild lives of NYC philharmonic musicians. It was a funny, sweet, heartwarming show about an exclusive world that rarely gets shown to the rest of the world -- and it had a great cast including Bernadette Peters, Malcolm McDowell and Mark Blum.
The show was based on a memoir of the same name by a classical oboist named Blair Tindall who published it in 2005 -- and got some flack for revealing that elegant classical musicians are just as randy as the rest of the us.
Blair Tindall has died at the age of 63, and she had an interesting life. Believe it or not, she used to be married to Bill Nye the Science Guy! Anyway, RIP.
