Same ground base, 20 variations, 1 bar ending. The brilliance of Bach on display. BWV 582/1: Passacaglia The passacaglia is in 3/4 time typical of the form. Bach’s ostinato comprises eight bars, which is unusual but not unheard of: an ostinato of the same length is used, for example, in

I’m downloading the latest Ubuntu Linux OS to try it out. It’s a free alternative to Windows, and comes in very handy if Windows ever quits working (for one of its various usual reasons). To download quickly, safely, and without errors, even if there’s an interruption, Bit Torrent provides those

Skydiving with a cello = Awesome. “Happy Together” is a 1967 song from The Turtles‘ album of the same name. Released in February 1967, the song knocked The Beatles‘ “Penny Lane” out of the #1 slot for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] It was the group’s only chart-topper.

… and it didn’t cost me a dime. – Johnny Cash I went to the latest Design Regina public forum Tuesday night, at Artesian on 13th Ave. That building is quite impressive inside, including a clever use of bathroom space downstairs. Check it out sometime. Anyway, at the meeting the

In the March issue of New Mobility, I have a cover story about Canadian musician Justin Hines. You can see it here. I wrote this over my winter break – just as the library job came through! Not exactly the restful vacation I was hoping for. Fortunately I had a

Cash was truly great. I hadn’t heard this song until Tuesday, but it even has caragana bush mentioned in it. Not sure why someone would bed down in it though, it’s really prickly if not the mature branches that would provide little shelter. – Hat tip to OminoCity and SaskNews

It has been a long winter here in Canada. Not particularly cold, but the washed out monotones of the season begun to wear on even the most study of us by March. The answer, the magic tonic, is great music, great musicians and verdently great scenery from Hawaii, no less!

North America has always been home to one good Rush and one evil Rush, but never have they engaged in battle … until now. Canadian prog rock legends Rush have demanded that the Rush Limbaugh Show stops using their music. The band’s music was regularly played leading in and out
