So a while back The Ottawa Citizen asked if anyone was interested in blogging about any of the local music festivals for them, in exchange for festival passes. I applied to blog about the Folk Festival. I kept waiting and hoping, but I never heard back from them. By the time I realized they weren’t […]

I’m reading Life, Keith Richards’s autobiography, written with journalist James Fox. I believe this is the first celebrity memoirs or autobiography I’ve ever read – or ever wanted to. I’d say I’m an unreptentant, unabashed Keef fan, but there ain’t no …

Have been listening to that one for about two weeks now and it just keeps getting better! One of my faves of the year thus far. Best when turned up to 11. Have a good night!

I cannot believe that this is the only recording of this particular song. I apologize for the poor video quality, but then again, the sound is fairly good, as well as the choir and soloist. This piece was also performed in Kaslo, and I have the intention to learn the solo and perform it with […]

But then… Cracked Actor… Suffragette City… Aladin Sane… Diamond Dogs… Ziggy Stardust… Jean Genie… The Man Who Sold The World… etc. etc. et-fre…

I love choir. The people, the music, the practising and the good stress of being put in a position where one has to focus and do a myriad of things well. How am I standing? Is my posture correct, is my belly loose and larynx low? Am I breathing correctly? What is the next […]

These are short pieces in which two different melodies are played simultaneously. Usually, the right hand plays the higher voice, and the left hand plays the lower one. In each Bach invention, there is a motive (a short musical idea) that is repeated in various forms – each time slightly different, and is developed through […]

Thank the Swedish for this lovely piece. Swedish Lyrics: Vem kan segla förutan vind? Vem kan ro utan åror? Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin Utan att fälla tårar? Jag kan segla förutan vind, Jag kan ro utan åror. Men ej skiljas från vännen min Utan att fälla tårar. Vem kan segla förutan vind? Vem […]
