How much do I love Low Clarinets? How much do we all love those juicy power chords in the bass? What could be better than @TeamLo-Blow playing the Fanfare from Janacek's Sinfonietta?!! ❤

First visit to the Statue of Liberty - striking to touch the poem that greeted my 8 great-grandparents in 1890s, and stand where they stood as "huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
I told a friend this poem matters even more now than in the 1890s, she answered these days it matters much less.

Kidnap would be a euphemistic understatement for their plans that day.

In 2nd grade, I marked up a Monkees piano-vocal songbook, correcting all the wrong notes compared to the record. I still have that book.

My experience is different - the "ForYouPage" default is bad, but it learns your preferences quickly. If you start liking live concerts of 1970s rock bands or 1990s sitcoms or SNL, it will learn to feed you that. I started and quit a few times, but then I tried again with that approach :-)

It looks like the wikipedia page for that song needs some more contributions.

That in turn is one of my favorite things about your podcasts. I already know a lot of the individual dots, but you connect them and suddenly the tides make more sense.

So many questions about this cool-looking piece! Specific fx or up to the performer. I'm looking at those 2/4 silent bars for acoustic player that could be heaven for efx :-)

See you at LCF, will this be performed there?

You are *totally* clear to all of us who are listening; you're an amazing presenter and clarifier - both about the content and your approach.
Some people autotranslate others' words into how they think, and some have unfocused anger or translation with any kind of authority. So it's them not you.

I don’t remember much from 1978 except that he was a great presenter and joke teller, and very insightful about communication and culture.

I took a linguistics class as an undergraduate at a different school that talked about his study of dropping final R’s at three department stores to contrast diction and social strata in NYC, where I’m from.

A few years later I was at UPenn (not for linguistics) and took his intro course.
