Coincidentally, I had gotten into Bruckner and Shostakovich this evening before seeing this article. Very cool. #Soundtrack2023 🎼

Getting back into the swing of things on Back to School day myself. For all the challenges, not feeling too bad at all. Details to follow. In the meantime, speaking of the swing of things ...

In my 23-plus years of dealing with this condition, there's never been an attack quite like this one. It's been over a month. My goodness.

Thankfully, there's music. And the one and only Nina.

Arthur C. Clarke came up in the course of business this weekend, and I'm feeling a bit epic this morning. So, here we go.

(The full piece is much more nuanced than the opening. And truly gorgeous.)

Settled in for an evening work session. I like these Saturday nights a lot better than the old ones. A quiet life suits me just fine, thank you very much.

I think I need to take up the pipe again, though. Already have the tweed, a genuine Harris no less. There's just one missing piece to the picture.

Back in the day we called them music makers. This is why.

I guess you can say I'm Haydn out before the State of the Union. Hardy har har.

By the way, if you're into politics, do yourself a favor and watch this kind of thing on C-SPAN. See with thine own eyes, my friends. See with thine own eyes.

Some dreams last night. Must have been from being all curled up under the covers.

And that's all I'm going to say.

Sure, man. Try playing this stuff outside TONIGHT. It's brutal out there. Won't matter how fast you rip at it. 🥶

Working good, as Ol' Hem would have said. Writing about America. There's only one way to go for the wind-down tonight.

Everything is set. I moved my home office back to its original location, got the workspace nice and organized, everything is ready and the board is green.

Now to kick back with my favorite rendition of my favorite piece of music.

Resurrection has always been a big theme of my life (it was even the name of my grammar school in Brooklyn, where it all began). So, after the last couple days, and thinking of all the things about to come, this one is perfect for tonight's shutdown.

After moving all that wet, heavy snow today, I thought tonight would be a good time to head to Finland.
