Yay!!!

So what do you care? You obviously don't read my Carter posts ... 

[owlice]

I don't read many of your Carter posts these days, 'tis true, but I have read Carter posts by you in the past, you know! (I even have some of them archived.) And occasionally, you leave the corner of Carter and Ives to wander around other streets and chat with folks, leaving the conversations there on the screen in full view of passersby such as I.

Carter was president, wasn't he?

[Opus106]

No, silly, he was a Backstreet Boy.

What was it Clarence Darrow said? Or maybe Henry Fonda: "When I was a boy, we were taught as an article of faith that anyone, coming from anywhere, could become president of the United States ... and now I'm beginning to believe it."

Where the hell are Colin and Joe...?

[CD]

I see both on their respective facebook profiles, so I'd imagine they just don't have much to say in the way of music lately.

[Lilas Pastia]

One of the concert series in England for Carter's centenary was called "Get Carter," and explicit reference to the movie.

Explicit Carter, Oh, my !!

I really need to revisit Carter. I've just been too far away from his idiom lately to pay him my dues. I never listen to music without a purpose - but that's another way of saying he hasn't been on my radar for a while. Too much Bruckner, Haydn and Wagner I'm afraid.

I fully recall the shock and delight his Concerto for Orchestra, violin concerto, clarinet concerto, Symphonia and string quartets (among others) gave me 2-3 years ago. I'll definitely plunge back when I'm finished with my Bruckner 8 and 9 listenings (some 50 discs from now). Carter lives ! I fully believe he's as important as Pettersson and, as such, one of the half-dozen seminal personalities of the past 100 years (note that this conveniently excludes Mahler  ).

He is kind of like The Force in Star Wars, Novi.  Always present, but only asserts himself in physical form when needed.

Aha! Good to know that all's well in the world then...

He's very busy lately, his restaurant business seems to be going very fine but also is time consuming more than he thought it will be at first, he's been bit more active on facebook but nowdays rarely over there as well.

Wait. Are we talking about the same "edward"? His profile shows 11/9 as his last post.
