We now return to our regularly scheduled programming

Okay, so I got a bit derailed by the end of the semester (two 10-page papers due on 4th of July weekend – how lousy is that?) and have delayed getting back up to speed, but now we are once again on a blog roll.  I mean, the blog is on a roll, not in one of those sidebar thingies.  You get the idea.

The weekend from H-E-double-hockey-sticks left me in front of the TV (working on a paper) watching the Capitol Concert which was taking place a mere 15 blocks away.  Oh well.  I enjoyed seeing the Jersey Boys perform – I’m dying to see that show but have been holding out for TKTS tickets – as well as the rest of the show.  Well done, as always.

As I noted on twitter at the time (you’re following me, right?  You know you want to…), I was a bit ambivalent about the fact that Gershwin’s Rhapsody reminded me of an airline commercial.  I’ve also realized lately that a lot of classical music sounds familiar because I heard it in Bugs Bunny cartoons growing up.  Still not entirely sure what I think about that – I suppose it’s a good thing, exposing kids to it early on and all that.  Right?
