First Responders and others are today dying from working in that aftermath of mercury and other tiny particles pulverized into a fine dust which others told us all was safe to breath. 9/11, is not over for them--just our care for them and any decency we could have in us to show these First Resp...

Wow, look at that face: wise, deliberate, playful, yet sincere in his caring manner. I still don't see how he did so much and explored so many avenues in his compact accomplished life. Glad I came around at a time when I could enjoy his work and his work with many wonderful others in this short ...

If you go to school to get rich it may or may not happen. If you drop out of school to get a job it may or may not happen. School, like life, gives us a tone to our being and an informed appreciation for so much we might miss. It enlivens our lives as thinking and creative entities who sometimes ...

Maestro Karajan: you're EVERYWHERE, aren't you--even today!

FYI: Correct, @crazymarine: Philoctetes (Φιλοκτήτης) Philoctētēs, or stess on the penultimate (next to last) syllable.

Alas, I, too, pretend, at times, to know anything, but, as a non-existing illusion, I lie.

Wow, what a memorial to us all: painful now that we see the results of some of our dreams played out on the American and world stage.

Cyril Ritchard's and his wife Madge Eliott's albums are on the National Library of Australia's website: Tile of Unnumbered Page of Cyril Ritchard album of a tour of "The Merry Widow" during World War II, 1935-1945 [picture]. [1935-1945]. Part of Cyril Ritchard collection of theatrical performan...

A lot of talk, here, and a lot of personal fears seeping and oozing through these electronic messages, yet understandable Men are such delicate creatures, even the tough burly guys who fight tooth & claw to not let you know this, but this is something women know who have brought any man-child in...

"...I think it a bit of an overstatement to suggest that he self-identified as a Buddhist." According to Karajan and others he had studied and practice zazen for over 40 years, saw Fr. LaSalle of Hiroshima as his zen master and according to Vojtech Janzy, the Czech director, in a phone call to ...

Etta, this is your song and mine and Beyonce's and all God's children so don't be selfish or lttle, girl, or God will let you know who's boss--what we send out comes right back to us so, please, good lady, send out love and goodness, and sharing, not denseness and evil feelings. Music is a sacre...

Yesterday, Karajan's bithday I tried to access his and Eliette von Karajan's websites to see if anything special was offered the viewer, but neither website was accessible. Last night I had this horrific feeling: what if I only dreamt Karajan's existence? What if all this was just in my imagina...

Boys and girls, please! Maestro Karajan is listening to you and just smiling. So is Lenny and Dimitri, as well. They, like their music and good will, never leave us, but stand waiting to help us however they can do so,

On my own early in life I came to hear classical music from my brother-in-law who had a love of this music, jazz, pop and folk music that survived with him as a 17 year old in the Korean War and from this I came to find out that eternity has nothing to do with time, but it is a place where you go...

"It is man of knowledge rather than person of knowledge."

Elfrynstar: tell that to my mom--to her face--and I'll bet you wet your pants in the effort. One should NOT mess with Yaqui women, their personal journey, their yerbas, or their powers, nor minimize the roles of any of these play on a...

As an undergrad in Lawrence KS my friend Tad, a phil major all over Nietzche, lectured me about Casteneda and the meaning of Don Juan and needed philosophical understandings. My friend and learned confidant Jane van Meter, the first Mrs. Katy Hinman, and I just listened and smiled, as my mom had ...

In videos about Karajan he laughs, smiles, jokes with others and is, as one colleague put it , "is very rascally".

Lenny, like Herbie, brought and continues to bring and teach us so much about the transcendent power/magic of music, and this present moment in which we breathe. How can we not feel grateful to them that they were willing to keep committed to their art and tap into such profound areas of music an...

Lenny said there's no good/no bad music: there is just music--and that starts in your heart when you took your first breath and coud hear your heart syncing with your mama's heartbeat. Science tells us that hearing is the last of your senses to go when you die. So, why do we rank the quality of ...

From Oxford Music Online: "On the podium, much of his technique is reminiscent of Karajan." Yes, very much so.

Music knows no barriers, cultural or comic.

When I came into the room and heard this I thought: "Oh, that must be Herbie conducting". Wow, was I wrong, or was I? Jarvi is great, too! Between shaping the air with energy and pacing the orchestral tempo like an undistracted buddhist monk I see can acutually "see" Janvi and Karajan cracking ...

We never learn, do we? Not from Dresden, Berlin, London, Hiroshima, Rwanda, und so many instances in human folly. We are so great and so pathetic, as a species. And, yet, we continue: the poor performance after Katrina, our continued neglect after the British Petroleum Gulf oil disaster, Chernob...

What a wonderful "Been there, done that" song of us old geezers! Eeee-haaa! Powder RIver, Let'er rip!

How strange, macabre. In fact on this sunny April day in 1945 Herbert von Karajan was in this crowd with some friends and even went up to the bodies later to have a closer look. He and Anita (Gutermann), his wife at the time fled to Milan as she was half Jewish and he was experiencing being marg...
