I do not currently care for this idea, but the states should be able to discuss/determine their own fate regarding the idea.

I am familiar with the gender-flux situation, it is within my family.

I happen to have St. Paul's personal copy of the KJV, autographed by the apostle himself, that I well sell for a fine price. It's been in the family for years

Seriously, I am not a KJV-only guy but I appreciate some of the phrasing in Psalms, etc.

I have friends and family with political views far from my on. None of us have been damaged, or damned, for having such opposite views. Befriend whom you wish.

I never heard it as a slogan, but, no crt anyway.

david johnson

No CRT.

I never thought of it. I just assumed he composed what he was interested in.

No bossocracy, please

"The left today is just as intolerant and prudish as the right was in her day. Liberals used to be live-and-let-live hippies. Now they are weirdly strident finger-waggers.", truth.

Woke is un-woke. As Snoop would say, "Drop it like it's hot."

This was the Rodzinsky lp I had as a teen - R.STRAUSS -- Salome Dance of the Seven Veils, Philharmonia Orch. STEREO -- Dance Suite after Couperin, Philharmonia Orch. STEREO -- Tod und Verklärung, Philharmonia Orch. STEREO Rodzinsky was the man who auditioned and appointed Adolph Herseth principal tr...

Gloria's figure was enjoyable. Her clothes hung on her 'just right'. That's enough for me

Nazi-run forces were defeated. The country was liberated from their influence. I suppose the truth is both occurred. I do not know the current German population's interpretation of events.

Almighty God, we ask that you see Brian's family through this time and bless them. I would have responded earlier, but weather damages knocked me offline for three days.

This is a darkly interesting thread. I'll be pleased with the singing of "What Wondrous Love" and "Amazing Grace" at my farewell...followed with a New Orleans jazz band procession to the cemetery.

I thought Dawkins had already passed away.

david johnson

I watched some of that. The music was superbly done. The band performed "Nimrod" from Elgar's Enigma Variations in a fine presentation.

david johnson

Lance, I've heard some of those, but never performed them.

Business execs of the corporations mentioned are not all that trustworthy in these decisions. As I mentioned here before, the dumb thing about the GA law is the 'no water'. That's stupid enough to get the whole package deleted. How many drop boxes they will use is nobody's business but theirs. If e...

Thank you, I have some nice Easter memories.

david johnson

It's Easter Sunday! This is certainly a day to enjoy Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Overture. That was the first piece of classical music I really got into. We rehearsed a transcription of it in school band and I became very interested. I soon purchased the Ansermet/OSR recording of it on London r...

david johnson

As long as it's "policed" to prevent corruption I do not mind how voters cast their ballots. My preference is vote in person, or the common absentee procedure. I've never thought a drop box was an especially good idea. No water for those in line is dumb. is it feared that the bottles will have lable...

DC should remain a district. Why? Do you have an objection that you could share with us, other than the fact that most D.C. voters hold political views that are different than yours? 1) I prefer the nation's capitol to be in a 'neutral zone'. 2) You have no idea regarding my political views. They a...

I purchased this a few years ago. I am re-enjoying it

These recordings are probably in some larger boxes, but this is a 12cd box collection of: Haydn's London Symphonies, Paris Symphonies. 4 Masses. and Die Schopfung, all with Bernstein/NYPO on Sony. Do any of you also have this?

david johnson

DC should remain a district.

I keep some Ozawa recordings around that I especially enjoy - : Janácek:Sinfonietta and Stravinsky: Rite of Spring, both with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

From Mark 12, Jesus answers a question: 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Some people must widen their concept ...

I doubt Bonaparte will become a victim of cancel culture, but nothing wrong with hearing all sides. What the French do is on them. Leave Lafayette alone.

I've always had some Levine recordings around. I saw him/CSO at Ravinia performing Mahler 1 and Schubert 9. A sad situation

I have had both shots of Moderna. My arm was a little sore after the first, and again after the second with the addition of a day and half of being tired. I slept a lot. I have had a friend and a family member perish for Covid 19. I urge everyone to get the vaccine. Around my home it's Moderna. A fe...

Yes, the recently retired ethno-musicology professor at the University of Michigan and I have been friends for many years, beginning as trumpet section mates in college. I do not really consider race as a friendship litmus test. I also have a Korean friend. Those two stand out, but I do not see the ...

Thanks, guys, for painting me (a southerner) in all of the tender, glorious colors dipped from a palette of venom. Needless to say, I disagree with most of the mess presented in this thread about this being a 'snapshot' of the South. It may be Franklin County, I do not know, but not the South.

david johnson

Chuckle, you guys need to move over to be with me so we can truthfully sing -
"Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with you"

david johnson

Thanks, guys. I do not have the boxes, but I have items from them. maestrob, I live in Arkansas.

As a 9th grader I purchased the Ansermet/OSR mono recording of Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre on London records from the local small town record store. It was great fun listen. I soon developed onto a young fan of: Ansermet, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and London records. The Ansermet-led recordi...

I agree, Lance. We often look more like a political forum that usually tilts leftward.

There will be a day for the burning, but such is not here yet!

Will the same people cancel Wagner because of his anti-Semitism? How long has it been since the 'Honorable 5th column' illustration has been common viewing?

david johnson

Time will certainly tell! I wonder what will happen?

david johnson

If he did what is said, let the offended women slap him in public a broadcast. Then have the NY voters give him the axe for the nursing home/covid mess.

I eagerly await the release of the masterful recordings of great piano works this author has done himself.

I recall his television show that came on late-night. He would wear colorful ties called 'power ties', and you could purchase them.
