Jim & I only lost power for about 24 hours during last weekend’s derecho, & no trees fell on our house or cars, so we consider ourselves pretty fortunate. We spent Saturday running errands, one of which was to check out smartphones. My previous phone wasn’t bad – among other things, it had just enough […]
There are certain pop songs or classical pieces that will always make me think of summer. One is Prince’s “Raspberry Beret”, which I heard on my way to work this morning & thought – perfect! Not only do the song’s flippant lyrics & upbeat tempo seem appropriate for warm weather & sunny skies, the album […]
Classical music fans are constantly searching for ways to introduce this wonderful art form to others. Those of us who make a living by writing, performing, teaching, or *ahem* playing the stuff on the radio tend to feel an extra sense of urgency – not only would we like to attract new fans, we want […]
But musical fireworks are always in season! The Columbia Orchestra is presenting a concert called “Orchestral Fireworks” this Saturday, June 2 at 7:30pm. If you want to hear an informative (& also very amusing) pre-concert talk, Bill Scanlan Murphy will provide just that at 6:30pm. I met up with Music Director Jason Love this week […]
“It warms the blood, adds luster to the eyes, and wine and love have ever been allies.” – Ovid Jim & I love museums. We also enjoy wine, so when we learned that Winterthur was featuring an exhibition called “Uncorked! Wine, Objects, & Tradition”, we knew we’d have to pay a visit to Delaware. Our […]
But, it seems I have. I honestly can’t recall the first time I heard classical music, at least not in the sense of being able to pinpoint a specific moment. I do, however, have a pretty good idea of who introduced me to classical music – actually, to opera. He has long ears, buck teeth, […]
If you tuned in to WBJC between 10am-3pm last Friday, May 4th, you may have noticed that Jonathan was filling in for me. As mentioned in my previous blog post, I’d been asked to take part in the opening ceremonies of FlowerMart 2012. I rode the bus to Mount Vernon late in the morning & […]
It seems spring may finally have sprung for good in Baltimore, & just in time – FlowerMart 2012 is taking place in the city’s Mount Vernon neighborhood this Friday & Saturday, May 4th & 5th. I love spring, flowers, & any excuse to don a fancy hat, so when FlowerMart’s Arts & Crafts Chair, Amy […]
Who among us has never misheard the lyrics to a piece of music & gotten a good laugh when we found out what the real words are? Some of us – myself included – also like to make up new lyrics to familiar tunes, not that we’d ever sing them in performance. Oh, no, singers […]
