Symphony Saturday
OK, we really fell off the wagon here, didn’t we? So let’s get back into it with a two-week look at a couple of Alexander Glazunov’s eight symphonies. I must confess a great lack of familiarity with Glazunov’s work. He … Continue reading
Bad Joke Friday (the Kinda Clever Joke edition)
It’s still Friday! And this one is actually not bad, in my opinion. And yes, it’s a wee bit political. Steve Jobs would have made a better president than Donald Trump. But that’s a silly comparison, really. It’s like comparing … Continue reading

Something for Thursday
I don’t recall if I’ve posted this before, but it’s an interesting piece nonetheless: the Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra by Alexandra Pakhmutova. The repertoire for solo trumpet is pretty rich prior to, say, 1750, and then aside from the … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
The waltzes of Johann Strauss Jr. are more than just waltzes. They’re much more than just dance music for an elegant age now gone by; they all contain some of the most wonderful tone painting that I know. It’s impossible … Continue reading

Bad Joke Friday
Hey, anybody know what a will is? Anybody? Come on! It’s a dead giveaway! (via)
“It’s time for the Jedi to end”
So last week the first trailer for Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi hit. Here it is! I actually don’t have a whole lot to say about it. This isn’t out of any lack of excitement for the movie, … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
One of my favorite piano concertos: Mozart, No. 22 in E-flat, K 482. It’s very nearly perfect, so ’nuff said!
Dogs and cats, living together — MASS HYSTERIA!!!
Generally, Cane gets along pretty well with our two cats, Lester and Julio. Julio will actually walk up to Cane and head-butt him, where Lester’s relationship with Cane has a little “sibling rivalry” thing going on. Well, here’s what happened … Continue reading
