Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Let’s see what’s in the Christmas music (and whatnot) grab-bag today, shall we? I just happened to be watching this when they did it on the air, sometime in the 90s. It lodged in my brain forever. I love this: … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
There’s no theme here…just songs and music and maybe something that’s not music at all. This will be the way of it for the balance of the season. EDIT: One video has been removed because the uploader removed it. I’m … Continue reading
Cloudy Days in Paradise
Only two days remain in our Hawaiian adventure. This morning we woke up for the first time to cloudy skies. Since gray skies tend to be the norm for Buffalo in winter–a season that I find beautiful in many ways, … Continue reading

Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
OK, I hope this works…I’ve never tried embedding a playlist on WordPress before! If it does work, here is the score to the film The Nativity Story, with music my Mychael Danna. I have not seen the film, but the score is … Continue reading
Writing (and a cheeseburger) in Paradise

Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
Victor Hely-Hutchison was a British composer whose music was well-known in his day but who is almost completely forgotten now, except for one piece: a collection of four chorale preludes, each based on a Christmas carol, that he titled A Carol … Continue reading
The sea and the sky above it
“It’s hard to tell the difference between sea and sky, between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.” –Haruki Murakami I wrote the other day about the somewhat overwhelming nature of the sea here in Hawaii. … Continue reading

Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
It’s a week away! I’m scheduling this in advance, but I know that as December gets deeper and darker and somehow the light that we hope for from Christmas seems as elusive as ever, this is about when I get … Continue reading
Your Daily Dose of Christmas!
I don’t remember if the subject ever came up when I was a kid in grade school music classes during Christmas time, but it’s always worth noting how old many of our traditional Christmas carols are. In fact, the concept of the carol, … Continue reading
