Proof that the MAGA movement is all about racism and control, and not making anything "great":
These nationalists are pining for a time in the past when things were "better". When is that time? The 1950s.
End of story. That's it. Wait. What? You don't understand? Fine, I'll lay it out for you:

Even if the federal minimum wage had ONLY kept up with inflation, it would STILL be $10.81 today.
That's just a taste of how incredibly sick our current situation is.

Intermediate to advanced clarinet students: If you don't have a copy of Paul Jeanjean's Vade Mecum du Clarinettiste, you should get one. If you think your finger technique is on point, work out of this book and learn that you have a lot of work yet to do.
It's fantastic!

Holy buckets. I had forgotten how fun the Bassi Rigoletto Fantasia was once you start getting it (back) under your fingers.
Now, if I can just match Corrado Giufreddi's tempo at the end (quarter note=172), I'll be ready to go for my next recital!

Today's warmup was so bad, I feel like I need to do nothing but spend my life working out of the Vade-Mecum for the next week without allowing myself to touch actual music. Does my brain even remember that I have fingers that are supposed to work independently? It doesn't seem like it.

Scanning REED 1 for "A Connecticut Yankee".
I removed the binding to use ADF.
Scanner is directly next to paper shredder.
Table of contents fell PERFECTLY in the shredder slot!
Bye bye, page.
WHEW! these books are all copies.
Scanner got turned off after that!

The US was stress tested in 2016, 2020, and 2024–and it abysmally failed the test. No country on earth ever fell so far so fast. Unfortunately the damage though it may be mitigated can never be undone. The great book of the history of the US will end with a moron elected twice by a nation of morons.

Today was one of those days, as an adult with a family and a part time job, that I never did get to do any practicing. It hurts me physically every time that happens.
If you have the opportunity, get some time practicing. Don't take a second of that time for granted.

Yes, that includes synthetic reeds like Légère, and Forestone. Venn, and the Silverstein synthetics are made in the US.

Hey! Reed players! Listen up!
I highly recommend that you all purchase your year's worth of reeds NOW. Most reeds are not made in this country, and even if they are, like D'Addario, the cane they are made from is not grown here.
