Congrats! ❤️

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Really enjoyed your article! And feeling seen in the reference to the Albert Ayler influence in Winter’s music—that spiritual sounding, yearning major key wail that floats freely over the top.

The guy who sang “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” in the original animated special was also the voice of Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes — “They’rrrrrre Great!”).

Cathy is the best!! ❤️

Love this—super cute!
Also, in addition to being super fun, Koala is an incredibly powerful app—a steal at that price (and comes bundled with a license for Ableton Live Lite).

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

I teach songwriting/recording/production as an integral component of one of my high school music ensemble classes. I share your joy in doing this kind of meaningful work. Powerful, important stuff that I would have never done in high school. I admire their regular vulnerability.

Beautiful book.

Hi Ben! High school music teacher here!

On November 26, 2021, Stephen Sondheim passed away. Three years on, here is something rare and beautiful.

As George maps out his sky, perhaps Sondheim here describes a certain kind of heaven:

As we pass
Through arrangements of shadows
Toward the verticals of trees
Forever.
