Blogging, or lack thereof....

Many people have been asking me "what's up with the blog? when are you going to post again soon?" I figured it was time for me to actually answer those questions.... I am officially in a blogging funk. I simply am not bothered about blogging anymore. Maybe it's due to circumstances. Venzago getting fired by the ISO's incompetent CEO was a major blow to me.

And for Londoners seeking purer air and wanting to swap an n for a d, there's one extra enticement to Loddon now that the adorable Katherine Howard, ex-Sony and EMI gal, and her equally good-natured husband Andy Walter, who I'm delighted to say...

Goings on About Town: New-Time Religion

paragraph class="noindent"> Until the crisis of modernism blew up the bridge that connected classical music and middle-class taste, a composer was expected to have a modicum of religious music in his catalogue; even the agnostic Brahms had his motets and Serious Songs.
