Welcome back! Listen to anything interesting lately?
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

MN Dave

Interesting? All sorts of things but not sure how interesting they are to you guys. I plan to check out the group here and see what they've been listening to lately. Maybe I'll get some ideas outside my comfort zone.

Huzzah!

Listening to Bacewicz string quartets. Interesting 20th century works, if not quite at the level of Bartok or Shostakovich.

"Music can inspire love, religious ecstasy, cathartic release, social bonding, and a glimpse of another dimension. A sense that there is another time, another space and another, better universe."

Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Why did you change your name to "Dagon"? And how is it pronounced?

I just like the sound of it, mostly. Pronounced DAY-gon.

Oh. So you're G-d. Good to know. Thanks for the pronunciation tip, btw. I was thinking French, with the accent on the second syllable, or else that "Dagon" was some artsy-fartsy spelling of "doggone."

Also, see H.P. Lovecraft!
