Pictures I like

[Pat B]

  Greg, I have two kits. I have a Canon 5D3 and a Micro 4/3 setup--a Panasonic GX7.  They are both great...

Sorry to get too far into a gear discussion but I heartily endorse Micro 4/3. I have a Panasonic GF1 (a much older version of Baklavaboy's GX7). I usually leave the 20/1.7 lens on it. That combination is high quality, surprisingly versatile, and it fits easily into a coat pocket. The best camera is the one that's with you!

Unfortunately my photostream is badly out of date but here's a shot I was happy with.

Neat creation that made the rounds regularly when I was in college (and I believe still circulates at music schools.)

I wonder what this sounds like?

I wonder what this sounds like?

  "Based on a Cro-magnon skinning chant" and "arranged by accident"?  I suspect it's just a joke and doesn't have any real form whatsoever.

Yeah, but it would be fun to hear it actually attempted.

But you're not entirely sure?

  Not entirely. I'll bet Cziffra could have played it, maybe using both fore-arms and maybe his forehead for a couple of parts.  Hell, Cziffra could probably have sight-read it

Next month the orchestra of La Monnaie/De Munt will play Mascagni's music, live,  to "Rapsodia Satanica", Nino Oxillia's 1914 film with Lyda Borelli.

Lyda, possibly the first screen diva.

Looks like Pierre Boulez is on twitter now, definitely not what I was expecting...

[The Six]

The guy behind that Twitter is trying way too hard.
