I volunteer to take on the Alan Davies role… I already deliver WKAR’s worst jokes for broadcast as it is.

Robert Schumann will haunt you the the grave

Apologies to Ann Arbor for this oversight in our WKAR CD Library going back maaaaany many years. #Sousa #MichiganRivalry

A bit of what waking up today feels like…

Bela Bartok: Bluebeard’s Castle

Tensions flare at Michael Tilson Thomas tribute as S.F. Symphony musicians protest contract cuts San Francisco Symphony musicians handed out leaflets at MTT’s 80th birthday concert, accusing leadership of jeopardizing its artistic legacy.

I am deeply weary of hearing management speak about the need for workers to “acknowledge the seriousness of the financial circumstances confronting our institution.” That’s literally YOUR job, manager dude.

Apropos of nothing, a sampling from my upcoming script, “Tariffbusters”:

Egon Spengler CPA: There's something very important I forgot to tell you.
Jim Parsley: What?
Egon Spengler CPA: Don't look at your retirement account.
Jim Parsley: Why?

Equity Arc, which trains young musicians of color, was set to play with the US Marine Band — until Trump's anti-DEI order canceled the show.

But Chicago stepped up, and now the students will perform at @chicagosymphony.bsky.social on 4/6. Grab a free ticket and join me in cheering them on. cso.org

Well, that’s an unforced black eye for Hrusa (who I do like) & the company… but then again, AN wouldn’t mind that black eye actually covering the whole face, either.

Next to me at breakfast is a big theatrical producer (I think) from Montreal who flew in, interviewing potential actor. Discussion turned to AI vs. Unions via Adrian Brody controversy in THE BRUTALIST. Her response: “Well it seems like it brought them a ton of PR.”
Reader, I rolled my eyes so hard.

For my first Toronto visit, took a stop by the “Pizza Pizza” to properly honor Scott Pilgrim vs The World, and oh boy, that’s some terrible pizza. Quite befitting of the age of the Sex Bob-Omb ensemble.

Off the beaten path, but Schnittke’s Piano Concerto. (and not the more famous Piano/String Orch Concerto)

Get better @bardicknowledge!

Two surprise #StPatricksDay cards added into Ascension’s app game today. Guessing they’ll be a one-off, but still cute. #boardgames

Oh honey… thanks, but I don’t think it’s gonna come back. #LoveLansing #OldTownLansing #PlayMistyForMe

Went hunting for #GeeksWhoDrink trivia prizes tonight and found the Alpha and the Omega when it comes to expressing one’s self through socks.

Me, board op for a live broadcast originating elsewhere when host says “Florence Price’s ‘The Oak’ has really only been recorded & heard by the public in the past couple of years.”

Me, skeptical and verifying in Discorgs.com that Apo Hsu and the Women’s Philharmonic released it in 2001. 🤦‍♂️

Juvenal’s “panem et circenses” is on my mind tonight. We’re all full up when it comes to “Circuses”… but I now fear for the continual reduction of “Bread” in its 21st century iteration, and if Juvenal was correct in 100 AD/CE, a possible great awakening?

Prepping for a 70’s party… we’ll see how many people I can get to gag.

Was ready for a game of the newest #DuneImperium expansion, Bloodlines, tonight. Sadly, one of my Monday group was out sick and two ain’t enough for our quorum. Learning of the Sardaukar Commanders mechanism will have to wait a bit longer. #boardgames #Dune

It just means you *also* really enjoyed Bacardi 0151 during The College Years, no?

Was asked a few weeks ago if I could help a friend celebrate birthday today by participating in an 8-player #TwilightImperium4 game. Thought I might have to cancel due to a bout of sickness I’d been fighting, but able to join in for what turned out to be 11 hours of #boardgame strategy/battle. #Lost

For a hot minute I thought you meant we were playing the Alan Cumming C. on Monday, and my mind said “but our Broadway show airs *Fridays*”… until I realized what you meant.
Hope you enjoyed the 🎶rat-a-tat rat-a-tat at the window🎶 in lieu.
