In Over Our Ankles: When's the Next Paris Flood? | Paris Update One of the things that make Paris a paragon of urban beauty is the way the Seine is incorporated into the municipal landscape. The Seine, of course, is the river that runs through the heart of the cit...

France has been getting a lot of rain recently, causing floods in many low-lying regions. Naturally, this reminds me of...
Me!
Specifically, the humor piece I wrote for Paris Update some years ago about The Great Paris Flood of 1910.

The original was called "Dichotomous II" so this version is "Dichotomous II II."
And it's for "virtual piano" because I had intended to make it playable by a human pianist but got kind of carried away in the writing process.
The (very quiet) coda in particular is beyond human capacity.

I just finished a video for one of my compositions.
This is not one of my "semi-comic" songs - it's a revision of a piece that I wrote about 20 years ago for virtual piano.

A new semi-comic song.

Two minutes of confusion and counterpoint...

Friends in Paris!
The daughter (Franco-Greek-American, I think in her late 20s) of a very good friend of mine is moving (back) to Paris in a few weeks and looking for lodging.
If anyone knows of an apartment to rent or share or whatever, please DM me.

Broken Peach (great band) does "Get Ready" with a little "You Really Got Me" in the middle. I quite like this, but listen to how the lead singer (whose English is excellent, judging from their other vids) says "fee-fi-fo-fum" towards the end of the first verse.

Oh, and Jeffy G changed "universe" to "world" - I suppose for the rhyme.

Well! This doesn't happen every day: a song in my honor.
I found a YouTube mashup using my track “Story of the Universe” (link in comments). The guy who posted it had miscredited me, but now it's fixed and, to set the record straight, he wrote a song about it.
