�We�ve �ad nothin� but maggoty bread for three stinkin� days!!�
Lots of kinda-interesting things happening today. Howard Shore�s "Lord of the Rings" Symphony is getting lots of play. It returns to Pittsburgh via John Mauceri, who, as it turns out, had a hand in its genesis. I personally like Shore�s score, but I tend to have problems when film music is asked to sound without the film. But you folks in Pittsburgh have fun anyway. Also, Peter Schickele is doing his thing in San Antonio, and Gunther Schuller will be livening up the University of Wisconsin, Madison this Fall.
It�s a sleepy day back here at the fish farm. Check out Pliable�s post below; and Larry Dillon just keeps �em coming � this time he gives some advice on how not to let MIDI take your breath away. At the moment, my ears feel like they�re standing in line for a frightening, dangerous roller-coaster, and they�re tempted to chicken out: it�s Shadowtime tonight. An interesting article about it is here. Mine will be up (probably) in under 24 hours.
