A Belated Birthday Wish to The Lydster
The Lydster, if I am reading things correctly, is 20 now. “Who?!” you may ask. A reasonable question, so I shall provide a reasonable answer: The Lydster is Roger Owen Green’s daughter Lydia. Roger has been chronicling her growth and … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, My Love
As I keep adding to this post every year, and with cross-posting it and importing it from my old blog to this one, I suppose it gets a bit more ungainly each year. Well, that’s just the way it is. … Continue reading
Eddie
Born this date: Edward Van Halen, in 1955. This is what I wrote when he died, in 2020–but I’d rather honor him on the day on which he was born. It took me a while to start loving rock music. … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
Eighty-nine years ago today, Carl Sagan was born. Sagan is one of the true giants of my life, the people whose work shaped me into who I am today. A very large part of how I view the world comes … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
Born this date, 125 years ago today: the great George Gershwin. I was actually going to post this piece last week before I suddenly head an “Oh!” moment, one of those cliche moments when the sitcom person slaps their own … Continue reading

Born this date, 1956: Anthony Bourdain. There are few voices I miss today more than that of Anthony Bourdain. His warm-hearted embrace of the entire world, his endless curiosity, his willingness to bridge gaps and accept differences–these are qualities our … Continue reading

Judy Garland at 100
Sheila and Roger have Judy Garland posts up, and I could hardly fail to do the same. Garland was born 100 years ago today, and how much poorer our world would be without that voice, that marvelous alto of hers–full-throated, … Continue reading
BOTD: Fanny Mendelssohn
(BOTD: Born On This Date. An idea I’m brazenly and openly stealing from Sheila O’Malley, who is the master of these kinds of posts.) Today is the birthdate of Fanny Mendelssohn. She was a pianist and composer, but her own … Continue reading
