Brain and Alan Civil were in that horn section. Civil even guested on some Beatles records.

I heard of this on the news. I do not think those two can win the election. Andrew Yang is the Dem best choice for a good Prez.

I sometimes wonder what will happen, but I distrust progressives so much I can't believe them in much. I still view this as them being ticked that Trump beat Hil, not that they care a rip what he has or hasn't done.

david johnson

sad news. A superb hornist.

david johnson

It is a superb work. Nothing low about it, except Johnny Cash's bass voice :) I am not a great cm fan, but the further back in the genre you go the more folkish it is. I grew up around that style and understand it, therefore I find it enjoyable. The closer it gets to country-western, the less I like...

Wow, those are great paintings

Biology = superstition? Odd to hear that one. We shall never agree. Merry Christmas

I am not into mire playing. Vonnegut does not really express the topic well. As an American POW in WW2, a survivor of the Allied fireboming of Dresden, a trained chemist, and the author of one of the greatest imaginative works of the 20th century, Vonnegut told us via metaphor that gender may not b...

"So say those mired in medaevalism. But, in fact, Kurt Vonnegut, trained as a scientist, is correct in this:" I am not into mire playing. Vonnegut does not really express the topic well.

david johnson

Forstater and Rowling are correct in this.

there are four more digits to go, but the object will be delivered w/o them. you will have to look them up at the zipcode source

Several pols of all stripe and spot need to be told "Up Yours". The further from center they go, the less trustworthy they become.

The report of an AI project to complete LvB's symphony 10 reminds me of an interesting short story. "A Work of Art" by James Blish. Richard Strauss is 're-constituted' centuries after his demise and called upon to compose more music. The developments are interesting. Last I checked it was available ...

Grigolo: “I’ll meet you outside.” - confrontationally. He had best be careful with that. Someone mad enough will take him up on it and leave the guy stretched out in the alley.

ET fleet, of course. They are cruising the system for Black Friday classical music deals.

david johnson

That was very enjoyable. Thank you.

david johnson

The hearings smelled more of politics than of true concern. The Dems shot their own foot when they ran Hil and she lost. They can't see how to fix that mess. They will flounder around some more, I fear.

david johnson

Your answers are correct. There are a couple of families in my home area who have a variant spelling but pronounce it the same.

david johnson

Go ahead and do it. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

The Goossens/Beecham Messiah is great fun!!!

david johnson

Well...someone has finally spoken truth!

david johnson

The dems will lose again.

david johnson

Ha! I just happened to have watched that yesterday.

It won't hurt Germany to start an equal program for the girls. Of course, a boy will sue to join it

Perhaps a rainbow flag should be saved for the Rainbow Bridge in Das Rheingold.

Jserraglio, I offered no objection to your use of the term. I have, however, learned that not everyone who uses it knows of what the speak. I just wanted to know what you meant.

The Democrats will self-destruct as they did in the previous election. As a matter of fact, the Dems gained a slew of Congressional seats and control of the House in the previous election. And the election before that, the Dems won by 2.1 percentage points in the the national vote count but lost in...

david johnson

I believe the electoral college is the best way to go. The Democrats will self-destruct as they did in the previous election. I am not particularly a Trump supporter, but the 'progressive' gang is even more untrustworthy.

david johnson

Many of today's claimed "phobias" are not such.

david johnson

He is correct.

david johnson

I mostly just mute the ads. I will watch the ones I find amusing. The 'Mayhem' guy can be funny. I chuckled all the way through the "Doomed" commercial several years ago.

david johnson

Happiest of birthdays to you

david johnson

As long as we do not elect hard-left/hard-right we will be on the best path. I support the electoral college.

So much verbiage = probably aliens

I am listening to his "Waldstein" on You Tube right now.

Neither the NYP nor the Congresswoman have much to offer. A side note, there is a difference in a 'black muslim' and a muslim who is black.

david johnson

let the girls wear what they wish, but do not chastise what the guys think about when the clearly shapely rear end shows up!

david johnson

Depending on who was on the ticket, I could go for that. I am a moderate, and will never support a hardright nor a progressive candidate.

Belle, in the type church I attend, the following is the typical response to those caught in such behaviors: he is fired and 'blackballed', the wife usually leaves him, law enforcement does their thing when needed, help is offered where needed. If guilt is established, he is to confess publicly and ...

Speaking as a non-Catholic, the news I see reports the current Pope as working to solve some of this. I think he should do so. Officials 'on the payroll' who betray their charge to uphold the moral principles of their position are best removed.

If a conductor is determined to run you off/keep you humiliated, you may as well bust him in the chops and be done with it

david johnson

I recall an lp which had the 3rd mvt section. Seems like it was on the Odyssey (Columbia product) label.

david johnson

Thank you for the link. I have saved it and will use it to give a listen

david johnson

John, the nonsense would be Hil and self-styled progressives. The loonies all live at the polar extremes of politics, left or right.

david johnson

John, the other half voted for Hil. She's as bad as Trump is said to be. Neither of them are a Jim Jones/Larouche.

david johnson

I definitely remember him. I never knew he wanted to lower to A=432.

Today I am finishing the HvK/Philharmonia Beethoven symphony cycle. It arrived a few days ago for $6 and change from ArkivMusic. I have enjoyed it. To me it sounds much lighter than the BPO recordings with the same conductor.

david johnson

saw that last week. super fun. I laughed aloud at the John Cage section.
