This afternoon at 2:00 was the third in the series of Great Music, Great Spaces, and Great Images. The first was last Sunday at Boston Avenue Methodist Church and the second was Thursday evening at the Performing Arts Center. We didn't make the second. The third was the one I really wanted to see because it was at the recently restored Mayo Hotel, at 115 West 5th Street. The Mayo was built in 1924...

Not a bad week as weeks go. By my standards, the diary was quite relaxed. The faithful Passat and I [now 186000 miles - the Passat that is although the feeling is sometimes mutual] visited Grangemouth, Glenrothes, Kirriemuir and Oban. It also needed a new tyre. And I decided that ...

Classical music and jazz are often perceived as two radically different art forms that cannot be merged. Historically, the idea of a so-called "third stream" that is able to combine the language of jazz and classical music into a coherent whole has proved rather difficult to translate into praxis, and yet it is undeniable that a bond, however fragile, exists between the two musics. This was...

Most people's knowledge of ragtime doesn't go past a few classic {{Scott Joplin = 8206}} compositions, and practitioners of the style today (not to mention composers) are few and far between. However, there has always been a small cadre of guitarists devoted to playing traditional and original ragtime tunes, and most of them are quite good at adapting the highly syncopated musical form to an unlikely...

I was doing some casual reading about the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and ran across an article trying to prove that the author of that work was Jack the Ripper . In doing so, I found a quotation that applies particularly to the homo sapiens population of the Republican Party in today’s world (although we progressives are not immune either) such that I thought I'd share these...
