I have politics on my mind these days. I tend to try to point out the obvious.

History
Mohammed Ali is there on the podium for the inauguration. On MSNBC they showed a long shot of him and talked about him as a freedom fighter. I have lived to see this.
I've done a little of just about everything: sung in choirs, conducted them, sung in amateur and professional opera, performed as the ingenue in Chu Chin Chow, played the mother in a long list of operas, sung solos with professional orchestras, sung recitals, taught pop and classical singing, worked as a professional music critic, acted in and directed plays, and I'm sure other things I have forgotten.
I hold the Doctor of Music with distinction from Indiana University where I studied voice, choral conducting and music history.
As a young person I performed briefly in a German opera company. Later I became interested in musical performance by a computer-synthesizer. My day job was as a systems analyst. When I began this blog, I was still working, but now I am retired.
