Hil? Her, too. The further left or right the tale comes from, the less true it is.

If Pelosi is involved, it's ALL malarkey.

Not everyone does, but I enjoy "Enterprise" more that TNG.

I will go with how the name's wearer prefers. If not available, it's my bad luck.

I have not watched an Oscars ceremony in many years. It became tedious rather than entertaining. Maybe a new category will help.

It's the 'point of proof' that you use. The immeasurable can not be measured. I hope you someday believe.

I looked up their 'address'. I had a friend who auditioned but did not make it, and one who did. I was in the 106th for a while.

notice the wink in my statement...of course I was joking. However, God exists and I am a believer. No wink.

That's the Field Band from Ft. Meade. They are the tour band.

A rough kick in the crotch is what they need. However, I do not understand how there can be a statute of limitations for some crimes but not one for allegations. How does that work?

That "Ancient Aliens" tv show has a lot to say about this topic ...

david johnson

You guys have mentioned some greats, for sure. Lance, I studied out of the Williams Scales book in college. I seem to remember he also had a transposition method book.

david johnson

Good points, for sure. A former student of mine has a struggle with this and did considering ending it all. Things have improved some now.

A birthday? Hooray for you

“ISLAM is not a RACE, lefties. Islam includes EVERY RACE of people.” this is true. You appear to have somewhat missed the point of the ad hominem remark Roseanne Barr aimed at Valerie Jarrett — her alluding to Planet of the Apes was the racist part of the tweet, whereas referring to the Muslim Brot...

One biopic. One movie named "Spotlight". The names I noticed are Bradley Cooper and Jake.

david johnson

ABC mentioned two movies about Leonard Bernstein are on the way.

david johnson

I have his set and the one by Backhaus/Schmidt-Isserstedt. I got the Barenboim because they came with the Klemperer/Beethoven symphony box. I enjoy it, but I do not listen to it often.

david johnson

For all of you who do not like Erich: please send to me all of those wretched recordings you have of him. It's only through my great concern for your ears that I make this noble offer

I grew up hearing Patsy Cline on the radio. She was a master at her style. I often had high school students who worked hard to do some Patsy songs.

Thursday concludes the Vox 2-cd box, Debussy Complete Orchestral Works Vol. 1/Louis de Froment/Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg. Very enjoyable.

I am now happily on cd 4 of the Naxos White Box of Prokofiev Symphonies and Concertos/Kuchar - NSO Ukraine and Wit/PNR Symphony. The recorded sound and orchestral playing is very satisfying.

david johnson

david johnson

I'd agree that Roger Voisin's tone color was unique - blaring and loud. For me he wasn't a BSO asset but a liability. Similarly principal horn James Stagliano. Leinsdorf replaced the orchestra's substandard principals when he could, but that was limited. The bso had an old style French influence am...
