Is this the 21st century equivalent of "How many Angles can dance on the head of a pin?"

and he asked us all to not applaud between the pieces and between the movements of the Magnifcant. I want you to hear Bach's whole setting of Mary's speech after she hears she is going to be the mother of the MessiahThe choral soloists were fantastic. A truly moving experience.

I'm sure this belonged to my Mother in Law, a KY Democrat whose most treasured possession was a letter to her from Franklin Roosevelt declining her invitation to speak at her High School Graduation Ceremony in 1930. This really made my day. Enough navel gazing. This is our platform, our mission.

REMARKS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt Madison Square Garden - New York, NY November 5, 1932. Inside were 6 pages on executive paper that was the content of his speech that night. I read it in awe. This Is America! This is 'd'emocracy! This is what it is to be a 'D'emocrat!

I'm not a boastful person -- probably because I'm not very good at many things! -- but folks, I will put my dishwasher-loading skills up against anyone in the world. I genuinely wish there were some sort of formal league or contest.

I like the Kaplan Amo line and have used them extensively but I have been trying other brands just to see what else is out there. I should mention I started out with the Kaplans because my violin is a Kaplan. Made by the founder of the string company. I have his #10. #violin
