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

health care
I admit that I am puzzled by the debate on health care in the US. I understand clearly why everybody needs health care. I don't understand at all why anyone needs health care insurance. Just make them all civil service employees, assign them pay rates and get on with it.
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.
