Adventures in Hot Booze
The Tom and Jerry is a beloved holiday cocktail in these parts. And I knew nothing about it until just a few years ago. The drink is basically a kind of boozy eggnog, with extra spices, served hot. It’s really … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas
In memory of my friend Robert John Guttke, I present one of his favorite works by a composer he dearly loved. Gerald Finzi was a British composer who lived from 1901 to 1956. His best-known output is primarily choral, and … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Never let it be said I don’t take requests! In comments to yesterday’s post, a reader asks about the possibility of the hammered dulcimer making an appearance in this series. I confess to not being familiar at all with this … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
OK, today I provide a public service, if you so desire. You may be familiar with a game called Whamageddon, in which you try to get as deep into December as you can without hearing “Last Christmas” by Wham!. Why … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday
I still feel like we’re trying to come up for air…which means, how about some more Rossini.
A Shrouded Moon
Taken the other day: More posting on the way, I hope! It’s amazing how much work there is for the living to do when someone has died.
A regret
My mother missed outliving Henry Kissinger by just eighteen days. She would have liked to see him go.
