On the cusp
Fall isn’t here yet, but we can certainly feel it knocking on the door. And I’m fine with that! Fall is my favorite time of year, followed by winter, and lately summer has been rising in my esteem. The summer … Continue reading

Tone Poem Tuesday
Luigi Cherubini is a composer with whom I am almost completely unfamiliar, except by reputation…and that reputation is via the impressions left behind by another composer with whom I am very familiar. Unfortunately for Cherubini, that composer is Hector Berlioz, who … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
In honor of James Cameron’s 70th birthday–which was just a couple weeks ago–I’m going to share some selections from the scores to his movies over the next few weeks. I’ll start with my favorite Cameron film, the often overlooked The Abyss, … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Leonard Bernstein was born 106 years plus two days ago, on August 25, 1918. Oddly, I’ve never written much about him here, have I? I really should change that one of these days…maybe after I finally get Maestro off the … Continue reading
Memories of Twenty Years Ago
Twenty years ago, a drive to the hospital in the morning. Twenty years ago, calling off work because it was time, the baby was on his way. Twenty years ago, bright sunny skies over Buffalo. Twenty years ago, a very … Continue reading

Take THAT, Home Depot!!!
Shopping for paint the other day for work, and I saw this. Yes, I laughed. I thought it wonderfully and subversively funny. Somehow this would be a lot less funny at Lowe’s.
Tone Poem Tuesday
I get asked all the time: “Hey, when you were a young musician, what was the first Sousa march you ever played?” [RON HOWARD NARRATOR VOICE: This is false. Nobody asks him this.] OK, fine, but anyway: when I was … Continue reading
Seasons and their Reasons
It occurs to me that for most holidays, we always end up hearing a lot about how important it is to remember WHY the holiday exists. We’ve got multiple holidays now where we’re supposed to meditate on Freedom and The … Continue reading →
