The Slow Awakening
I say it every year, and every year I’m given more evidence to back up my hypothesis: Buffalo Niagara’s winters wouldn’t be nearly so hated by people living here if our springs weren’t so godawful each and every year. The … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday (Wednesday Edition)
No excuse, I just didn’t get to it yesterday. You get what you pay for, folks! But anyway, a repeat of a favorite work of mine. This twenty-minute concert overture by Edward Elgar is lyrical and exciting. It reminds me … Continue reading

Words, and a bird
After a long period–more than a year!–in which I have been mainly focused on editing drafts of various manuscripts, I am finally back to actually drafting one. It’s Book Two of Seaflame!, which you may remember by its old not-actual-title … Continue reading
Something for Thursday (Friday edition)

Poetical Excursion: “The Ruin”, from the Anglo-Saxon
This poem is fascinating in that it seems to anticipate Shelley and Ozymandias by almost a thousand years. It describes in some depth the ruins of a Roman city, which has fallen into decay and disrepair, and juxtaposing that imagery … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
I’ve always loved Loreena McKennitt’s music, although I did lose track of her for a while. It turns out that she had a new album in 2018, called Lost Souls. Here is the first track from that album, “Spanish Guitars … Continue reading
Tone Poem Tuesday
I could do some historical research on this piece, but…nah. Just enjoy the theatrics. Here’s Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, with chorus! You don’t hear the choral version all that often.
Beethoven: the “Hunt” Sonata
Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 18 (Op. 31, No. 3) has been a favorite piece of mine for years…and for years I didn’t know what it was. I first heard part of it–not the whole work, but a single movement–at my … Continue reading
From the Books: A MAN ON THE MOON (Apollo 13 at 50)
Fifty years ago today, a Saturn V rocket blasted off from Cape Kennedy Spaceport. The destination of the three-man crew–astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert–in the command module perched atop the rocket was the Fra Mauro Highlands on … Continue reading
