I dreamed I was somehow helping Charlie Smalls on The Wiz.

In the dream, were you Larry Kerchner, the guy who write "Home," "Don't Nobody Bring Me No Bad News," and "So You Wanted to Meet the Wizard" or Luther Vandross who wrote "Everybody Rejoice!"

Tonight's our first performance of the new season. My wife and I will be singing in a Schoenberg recital-lecture series in Berkeley. Our chorus will sing Friede auf Erden and Dreimal tausend Jahre. We'll actually sing each piece twice, with a lecture and examples in between. I've never done something like this before. Friede is a gorgeous romantic piece of early Schoenberg, while Dreimal is a late serial piece.

The performance/lecture sounds intriguing, DR MichaelG. Those can't be easy pieces to sing.

Yesterday a friend was telling me about the Nova tuning app (alas, only available through the Apple store) which offers myriad and custom tuning schemes. He uses it to tune his harpsichord, but you can use it for a variety of situations.

It's congratulations on the congratulations.

John G, you're also getting very close to a millstone, 94000! 

Is this Millstone Weekend or something?


It must be!  All the planets are aligning and stuff like that! ;D

DR George that is a lot of calendars to have saved.  I used to save most of my wall calendars.  Now I just save a few.  I write in them and sometimes I transfer information incorrectly so I like to be able to double check my info.

Yes, I do collect things other than keychains...but at least I have only saved the Futurama calendars.

:)

I have been letting go, or reducing my collections.  Calendars take up a lot of room in a drawer.

And I woke up, and it was Oz. Only it was the wicked tRump of the East who was plaguing people.

Another Oz moment, did you read they crazy statements from Janet Jackson during an interview with Nosheen Iqbal, host of The Guardian's Today in Focus podcast?

""Well, you know what they supposedly said? She's not Black. That's what I heard. That she's Indian. Her father's white. That's what I was told. I mean, I haven't watched the news in a few days," she coughs. "I was told that they discovered her father was white," Jackson said."
