I suppose we all, at one time or another, have said something like, “Well, I remember when we didn’t have cell phones, and we did just fine.” You know you have–so have I. And I think that the number of times one says something like that increases with every year of age. Nothing scientific–just the […]
This February 29 (ever notice how so many people say Feb-YOU-ary? It’s Feb-RUE-ary, but why split hairs?) we celebrate the birthday of Rossini. An interesting and brilliant guy. He stopped writing operas when he was 39 (William Tell was his last) and decided to spend the rest of his life dining and partying. His parties […]
Once again, the Academy Awards have come and gone, and, once again, I didn’t watch it on television. Once reason is that the only awards I am interested in come at the end of the program, and having to get up at 3:30 am…well, it’s just too late for me. Additionally, I like to say […]
Our Winter Fundraiser ended Saturday night at 9, and in a big way. During the three-day drive, WBJC received over 1,000 pledges, 375 of which from NEW members, and we exceeded our overall goal for the drive. Thank you to everyone who called in or visited our new website and made a pledge. Thanks also […]
Saw a report on a morning news show the other day about the proliferation of vulgarity in mainstream entertainment, specifically in book titles. The books in question all had titles that had to be blurred (pixillated, in high-tech parlance) because they are not allowed to be said (or read, for that matter) on television. This […]
Church of the Redeemer Here’s a conversation I had with Henry Lowe and Michael Britt about the Organ Dedication Recital at church of the Redeemer.
Well, the season ended for our Baltimore Ravens last night. It was a real heartbreaker, right down to the last seconds, but overall, a tough game between two worthy opponents. A lot of people are blaming the hapless kicker for missing what should have been a routine field goal, but there were other issues in […]
Franz Liszt was a great admirer of Beethoven. He played Beethoven’s Sonatas and Concertos regularly, and did several arrangements of Beethoven’s music, including arranging the symphonies for piano solo. One might very well ask, “why do such a thing?” Well, we take so much for granted in our time. In Liszt’s day, the opportunity to […]
I can’t help but worry about the state of “entertainment” in our country. I know it’s all so subjective, but I’m bothered by the fact that some of the most popular programs on television provide entertainment at the expense of others. Look, I’n not above a bit of “low brow” humor from time to time, […]
