Tea …is so important to the British that during WWII, 80 years ago in 1942, the UK government bought up the entire world supply of exportable tea

Yaaay - porky penguin

He has a distinctive style Interesting he said he was never interested in being a jazz pianist because it required improvisation which he firmly eschewed, choosing to write completely notated scores, when of course improvisation was integral to many pieces of earlier classical music (cadenzas etc) and actually required in much (all?) early music Finale sounds like a supercharged variation on the opening to Herbie Hancock’s Cantaloupe Island - I wonder which one might have influenced the other?

certainly a backlash here in the UK but there’s a real head of steam pushing this through with “adoption” by universities, media groups, govt depts and now company HR depts (who control things like this) including major US companies like Microsoft (I think ). A defining moment will be when influential style guides choose which way to jump…

layman, chairman, spokesman, manhole (), fireman, policeman, man, woman, “the pronouns” etc - all gendered terms that seem on a journey to displacement and replacement, perhaps headed for the dreaded “obsolete” OED label in our lifetimes English is much less gendered than many other languages, like la langue française , so it’ll be interesting to see how pressure for change will be accepted (or rejected) by different countries with gendered language and whether maybe language rifts will open up, dividing nations formerly united by a common language.

glad it’s not just me that can’t read notation and hear the music in my mind (unless I know it well). I’ve always envied those who can sit down with a full orchestral score and “hear” it as they read it, even something they’re not familiar with (so they say ). Although I once read somewhere that “Music does not exist until it is performed, whatever our armchair score-readers may say to the contrary” - which kinda makes me feel a tad less badly about my deficiency
