What just HAS to be on the table at a picnic?
A to Z: Zaimont
And so we come to the end of this year’s A-to-Z adventure, with another modern composer, Judith Lang Zaimont. I’ve never heard her music before the other day, so this chalks up as another ‘new to me’ composer, which is … Continue reading
Yeah, we’ll get ’em again tomorrow.
Sorry, folks, I got nothin’. This is what today was like: Nothing bad, mind you — just abnormally demanding. So I’m having some rum, doing some writing, and watching stuff.

My only thought on the NFL draft
Barkevious Mingo, who went to the Browns, may have the greatest name in the history of football. I just love that name. He sounds like something out of a pulp SF novel…like one of the natives of Barsoom met by … Continue reading
A to Z; Vivaldi
In the interests of honesty, here’s some music by a guy whose music I just don’t like very much at all. Antonio Vivaldi is one of the leading Baroque composers, and he’s uncommonly beloved, but whenever I listen to Vivaldi, … Continue reading
