From the Pandora building in beautiful… uptown… Oakland, California. I get a little charge every time I hear Roman Mars say that to wrap up another podcast episode of @99piorg #EastBay #LocalBoyMakesGood

Les Bons Temps Rouler – Chad Huval 08-22 https://t.co/9I5LWWLKc4 - Loved this set from our instructors and friends of the program, especially the second segment where they get to talk about all the great things students can learn @ULLafayette @ULSchoolOfMusic @dr_kulp

@jbenton @NPR @jbenton thank you for taking the time to point out what should be obvious. @NPR can do better, and sometimes it does.

I just saw that @NPR recently made a pilgrimage to south Louisiana — to the weekly KVPI radio broadcast from Fred's Lounge in Mamou, for a story on the decline in Cajun French.

I have a couple of cranky thoughts!

@kgoldschmitt No, I don’t feel like I can cancel classes or important meetings for a remote conference. i’m debating whether or not to attend this one at all. That’s what I miss about conferences in person, setting a clear boundary and intention for professional development time.

@brewster_kahle My guess is along the lines of the person who said pre-Bollywood, i.e., early film soundtrack from India.

@philosophybites Did Bartok consider John Cage a composer? I once heard Cage at a public talk refer to Bach as "sewing machine music" in a decidedly unworshipful tone of voice.
