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.
Leave the monuments alone

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...

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.

david johnson

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.

david johnson

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.

david johnson

Please, no Pelosi in the WH

david johnson

The quote in bold type seems to talk about concerts, rather than festivals. Of course there would be concerts at festivals, nut the atmospheres are not the same, as far as I can tell.

david johnson

Lance, how did that Stokowski Phase 4 product turn out? I only bought a few digital music items this year - voxmegabox Renaissance Choral Music, Handel oratorios, and complete Haydn String Quartets.

david johnson

Surely, Gillette will soon air the toxic femininity ads.

david johnson

I tend to doubt the op review as being 100% accurate. It sounds more like a mix of acoustics and pre-conceived notions. Depending on equipment/performer, a piston trumpet can sound even more mellow than a rotary trumpet. I mostly go piston, but have heard some fine rotary action, for sure.

david johnson

Sad news, indeed. God bless.

Welcome among us, Musicwaiter.

I taught in public education for forty years. It was mostly good, with a few nuts in admin and counselling. The most aggravating thing was the continual drivel coming down from state education departments. a 'new method/procedure' is always presented as 'the way it will be from now on', then it is r...

david johnson

Allegations are not proof, but it should not hurt to investigate them. Not long ago, some of the allegations against a Supreme Court nominee were withdrawn, and at least one accuser admitted she lied.

david johnson

WOW! Thanks for your hard work.

david johnson

Thank you, Lance. May a blessed and peaceful holiday show up in all our stockings.

david johnson

Neat discussion.

david johnson

I have two recordings of the Tchaikovsky/Bogatyryev. I prefer the Ormandy and have had the lp since it came out decades ago.

david johnson

Hey, Wallingford, I STILL have a few of these lps :) Two weeks ago, I picked up a load of about twenty vinyl albums at a sale taking place at my alma mater. Among them were: A Chabrier Concert ……Dervaux, Orch. Colonne (Seraphim S-60108) Dvorak Slavonic Dances (complete)…..Dorati, Bamberg Sym. (Turna...

If you are truly lucky, someone will play the Jessica Simpson Christmas album for you … non-stop

Winter Storms Waltz/Fucik - one of my favorites

david johnson

I am enjoying Haydn's London Symphonies, Bernstein/NYPO, on this early Thanksgiving morning. Have a happy turkey, or whatever suits you taste buds

david johnson

You all are speaking of Trump. I am speaking of Waters.

david johnson

Maxine Waters deserves all the mocking she can get, and probably more. I do not know much about the others.

david johnson

I greatly enjoy the Kunzel music I have and have heard.

david johnson

I have the old Bernstein recording. I first heard the work when I was a teen listening to the radio program "Music 'til Dawn"

Belle speaks truth

Muckey wed one of the NYPO string players a couple of years ago.

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