Hope would accommodate me but only on their terms (T,Th) and only if I would insist that I get work. So it’s not quite as hostile as it might sound. And I do see the dropping of the commitment as a relief. We’ll see if they ask me to work next fall and whether or not I will have gotten out of the habit of this kind of thing.

Not that you would want an abridged version but the BBC Book of the Week recently was an abridgment of the LeCarre bio. I’ll put the recordings it in your “For Steve” directory on my Google Drive. As always, it may take a while for my computer to upload the files…

Sounds like it’s time for another recuperative visit to Unadilla. Did you know that Unadilla is an Iroquois word meaning “a place of meeting”? Just sayin’

Also, did you know that we named our house Brookwood? Leigh grew up on Brookwood Way in Mansfield. And this place fits the description. Need to get a sign for the driveway…

I love these place names things. You’re right, I’m in a bit of a mental space. Thanks for reading.

* Sabah Fakhri, traditional singer
* Asalah Nasry, singer

* Paul Anka (born July 30, 1941), a Canadian American singer and song writer of Syrian/Lebanese descent
Thank you for this. I found several pieces notated, but as I will mention in today’s blog (haven’t done it yet), it was the lullaby that you emailed me that was the ticket. Many thanks, baby!

Nice work on decoding the phoneticization of Arabic. Super cool.
I like your bio. I like how you identify yourself as a composer.
Why not just graduated “summa con laude”? I think it’s pretty standard to use the Latin. And also – wow! You graduated summa con laude!?!?

Glad you like the bio. “with highest distinction” is what it says on the diploma.

jupe plays a little hookey
Did you check out that shop that has all used hardware? I think it’s called Redemption Hardware? Just down from Bibles for Mexico on the North Side. But if you need a tool to borrow, you should ask Mark. He has lots, and is always saying he thinks the American concept of everyone buying a complete set of their own things, which they use only occasionally, is silly.

I am planning to head up and check out some shops north of the Lake. Thanks for the heads up!

last day of the term for jupe
Just so you know, I ‘liked’ your music link before I caught up on these blog posts… So it wasn’t a pity ‘like’ 🙂
Also, I can’t always watch the videos when I check Facebook in the mornings (have to keep the noise down) ….so I have to remember to go back and check them out later… Hence the lack of interaction from myself. I did listen to a bunch of walk the earth and modern jukebox recently though, because you reminded me of them.
Thanks for posting more. X
