Unquestionably one of the clarinettists of his generation. Suddenly father of two. As surprised as you are. www.carlrosman.com
I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

(Is it really for two voices or are they alternatives? 🤔)
Every generation has its own red-rag adjectives. When I started writing for International Record Review I was told that any use of the word ‘frisson’ would be deleted.

For the 75th anniversary of "Peanuts," here's what I consider to be the quintessential strip of the entire run. No one else but Charles Schulz could've gotten away with this on the newspaper funny pages.

The annoying thing is, the precise blub moments are the transitions to the following page and to the preceding page respectively.

Music score: a squirrel sings ‘Sais-tu ce qu’ils reflétaient, mes beaux yeux ?’
Music score: a chorus sings ‘il est bon, l’enfant, il est sage, il est si doux’; at the end a child sings ‘Maman !’
How dare you do this to me while I am on a densely populated train.

And then there’s Vaughan Williams 6.
First movement: intense but riding it. Second: throbbing and awful. Third: ghastly. Fourth: feeling no more pain, but nothing else either… for one reason or another.
At least it’s not Mahler 6 4th movement, Shostakovich 6 1st movement, Beethoven 6 4th movement. Ow.

Of COURSE it was a @dreadships.bsky.social repost.
Bother!
Someone in the last few days posted a nice old map with ‘Well Well Well’ on it, and I forgot either to save the pic or to like the post, so now I can’t find it any more.
Anyone remember it and can point me in the right direction?
