@ayjay Congrats, Alan!
@ayjay Congrats, Alan!
@isaacgreene Did you follow a dumbing-down protocol from somewhere you can link to? Or just extreme simplification?
@mwerickson Thanks so much for this. I purchased a copy halfway through reading your post, and I needed to hear the “being much more than knowing” today in a big way.
@patrickrhone Preach.
@jonah Oh how beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
@ReaderJohn She’ll be at Notre Dame later this week!
@ayjay So good. I am repeatedly gobsmacked at her combination of lucidity and precision. Took our 17 yr old daughter to hear her in town a couple of weeks ago; Freddie could easily follow and Leah’s arguments are always fresh and bracing for the intellectuals in the room.
@patrickrhone Our daughter just did the same gauntlet; different schools but similar range. Now we wait! What a learning curve the whole thing is.
@Miraz *Loved seeing this. Thanks.
@KyleEssary That looks incredible!
@isaacgreene I can’t believe this, but I’ve not yet read it. Gotta fix that.
@bethanyh That was great. Thanks for posting.
@isaacgreene The conductor started the evening saying: don’t worry, folks, your tears are welcome.
@ReaderJohn Lovely. (And I assume from 8-9 months ago, unless you count back many months at a time?!)
@cjhubbs That is lovely. NPR doing its job.
@Miraz Isn’t it? I can’t believe it, every time.
@ReaderJohn That *is a really good one. I just heard that the Fauré Req will be sung at mass on Sunday! Another favorite.
@bethanyh It’s so true. At least in design, which is so squarely pre-professional, there’s a lot of ambivalence: like, well, I guess these tools are going to be expected in the respective industries, so… what are our policies again?? (I run an analog classroom these days, and it’s going well!)
@ayjay This is what’s making me batty right now. No shortage of strongly worded and high-minded principles! Very little will to provide the guardrails of accompaniment. Total foreclosure of the formation model of education (at least in all the places I’ve taught). I keep trying to raise it…
@joshuapsteele Dover, England, which I read has (had maybe more so in his era?) elements of a Kentish dialect. So, just highly localized old-school accent?
@ReaderJohn I should have known that!
@joshuapsteele I always thought straight up British but I agree, upon hearing it again — hard to place! (Especially with his swashbuckling “ya seeeee” interspersing regularly, so charming.) I’ll do some research.
@cjhubbs Right?! Met a design colleague on Tuesday who said that series was a pandemic salve for him.
@lukemperez Agree!
@ReaderJohn in the early 90s by chance?
