Since it's very cold outside - here, anyway - I thought it would be nice to post a quick recording I did of one of my favorite composers (one quick take over my lunch hour, so don't listen to the mistakes), to warm you up. So, if you're freezing cold, close your eyes. Pretend you're on the beach at Ipanema, and listen to "Escovado," by Ernesto Nazareth. |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Phlebas, I wanted to search (my mind) for the beach like you said, but all it says when I click the link is "wrong file". Is it perhaps Firefox? EDIT: Cool -- To me, it's reminiscent of a soundtrack for an old, classic black & white movie. Well done Thanks for sharing.

An accountant is sort of like an actuary, but with more personality. Phlebas...Wonderful music! Wonderfully played! Two questions: 1) What kind of piano? 2) What kind of recording apparatus? 3) How difficult? (so much for accounting) |

1) What kind of piano? - Yamaha 5 + foot. If I can get out mid-day, there is a conservatory near me where I rent practice time. That was in one of the practice rooms. 2) What kind of recording apparatus? - Zoom H4 - on a chair next to the piano. 3) How difficult? - Not hard at all. Technically, Nazareth is a lot like Joplin. |

Sure. The tricky part with Nazareth is rhythmic - getting that lilting quality with the tangos. |
