I'm edu-macating these days and have nil time for blogging. May I instead offer snapshots of my academic prose? On Thursday evening the Keith Henson Octet performed at the B Sharp Coffee House in downtown Tacoma. As I approached the café, the tenor saxophone stepped outside to warm up his instrument. It reminded me of the anecdotes in my Jazz textbook about performers who play outside a venue to attract people to their shows!
I'm edu-macating these days and have nil time for blogging. May I instead offer snapshots of my academic prose? The following was my initial post in a discussion of early opera for my music studies. It relates to video performances of "Tu se' morta" from Monteverdi's Orfeo, as linked to the performers' names.
Holly Gerla reviews Little Bird Tales as a kiddie educational tool (and what an efficient way to get kids producing!), but I'm also thinking it will probably be great for the elder generations - how great would it be for Grandpa to add some pics and narrate stories from his life?!
I wish I could be a fashionista! I adored Carrie Bradshaw for her dare and style. If I had a budget for such things I would force them into my lifestyle and relish being the art piece of any gathering. Not necessarily for the attention, but for the effect of bringing beauty into ordinary.
But then there are fashion puzzles that leave me clueless. I think couture is awesome, and that sci-fi has its place, but these appear to be little more than Star Wars bedsheets made from fine fabric. Blech. I tend to regard all "expert" reports with several grains of salt. Thanks, Redditor Jasonp55, for putting this together to illustrate a point.
