Wow, it's really something to lean how much wanking there is in the bible! Who knew

If Hollywood is looking for a new project...

If you have been thinking to yourself "Geee, I wish I had some 18th century Czech harp music to brighten my drear November days," you are in luck! What a gem I stumbled upon this evening. Jan Křtitel Krumpholtz, or so Wiki informs me, was one of the best-known harp virtuosos-composers in his day. The music the video will start with is fascinating. The theme of the second movement (Andante con variatione) is transfixing, and seems meant for a Slavic song on the baralaika (or perhaps a mandolin). The harmonies here are very interesting, and perhaps performed just a tad too fast to let the melodies blossom in their own time. The Rondeau is sheer heaven - what a great master of the sounds we think of as "Vienna School." The minor key modulations in this fast movement are pitch perfect and delightful, as are the wind orchestrations. Hope you enjoy Jana Boušková performes with Jiri Belohlavek and the Prague Chamber Orchestra, recorded in 1996

"Nancy suddenly felt her father's talk on the Birds 'n' Bees was wholly inadequate."

yup

Loved the way you wrapped it all up. Gonna miss these guys 😭

"Real mean prefer satin." or "Real mean don't eat quiche, love seafood, but won't touch fish."

Ah, it's always nice when father/son time turns real.

Not gonna lie, my heart skipped a beat when Penn asked to shower first after spending the day with Jason...but that was smoothed out easily. These two are so obviously meant for each other! Also, it would be great for closure if Lee and Nash actually do have lunch and talk because Nash clearly still has questions. Friendship is out of the questions but it would probably be better for Nash to hear it all straight from the source and keep moving forward with his life. One more!!! Can't wait.

There's always one straggler, isn't there? lol

Few people realize how Nurse Diesel worked her way through nursing school...

Flanked by two much better-known of his concertos, No. 13 nevertheless has one of Mozart's most emotionally complex rondos of his entire piano concerto series. Sadly, it's not often concertized, but here Barenboim leads the Berlin Philharmonic in a very engaging interpretation. I love when the orchestra finally introduces the second subject, and it's like the clouds parting. In fact, I suppose this rondo is like a partially cloudy November day where the warmth of the sun comes out brilliantly, but is couched and made significant in the very foreboding tones of approaching winter. 18:03 Rondò-Allegro.

"The sure way to put a smile on his face"

The kids waited for the perfect moment to continue the wolf howls and cat meows. Awesome chapter. Can't wait for the last two!

Time for some fashion faux pas, a la Gay "Ya sure can, sister girl!" "Granny never knew why Todd's 'roommates' needed so many afghans..." * 'nough said *
