This is the piece that Rachmaninoff wrote after recovering from depression due to the failure of his first symphony, a failure caused by a drunk conductor who had never looked at the score before the concert. The Rach 3 is also among my favorites along with Tchaikovsky 1, Brahms 2, Beethoven 5.

I think Jerry is just lonely and needs someone to keep him company. His son probably just says, "Yes Dad," a lot. (Just kidding, Jerry.))

I probably shouldn't have converted the first to black and white. It makes more sense - sort of - in color

Wow! That one is definitely a best-in-show. The B&W version may work better if some of the bottom falls on the cutting room floor.

This just appeared in my Inbox: "Subject: IRS Compensation From: Internal-revenue-service@dossena.dnshigh.com"

Should I open it or forward it to someone I dislike?

Not to mention your fascination with angles and patterns. I really don't know what to think about the dark bottom of the first photo.

When "Pop" music was Music

I probably have 50,000 mp3 files on my PC. I play them via a Sonos system or put on my headphones while on the PC. I never listen to any current/pop music. I don't consider it music. It is rhythm, but in my opinion, it does not conform to my taste in music.

With you on that. Some of it has rhythm. It started from a great distance away from my tastes and has been on a divergent path since. Can you imagine someone a few years from now saying, "Listen dear. They are playing our song" ?
