Richard Gere calling out Trump and other autocrats! 🔥 “Why do we let them divide us?” Wise words from Gere on how Trump and other autocrats thrive by turning people against each other. Time we stopped falling for their hate.

My feelings, exactly.

Ordered the chinrest I've been wanting forever (it was on sale)! from Switzerland. 🎉

Recd the email today saying I owed another $186.60 in import fees. Thanks SO much for getting rid of the de minimus rule. Thanks so so much! 😡

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE FROM EVERY DEMOCRAT IN OFFICE. Thank you, Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury

Woke performances?
Hmph...maybe Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk should be next on the Kennedy Center calendar.

I don't know that i could possibly be any more embarrassed to be an American right now. I stand with Ukraine. I'm so sorry we have a pair of pinheads that don't know how to show respect or have common courtesy toward anyone 'in charge' of the country. 😔

I love Elizabeth Warren. That is all.

Time to go back to my music room and work on the 4th movement. Music is the great healer.

I found this gem in a shop window in Vegas last month. I "heard" it as soon as I saw it. It's one of my faves. I post it today in honor of those who were,like this artist, taken to camps inside the US for no reasonable reason. Willie Ito learned to draw while at the Topaz internment camp.

Retired from 25 years of teaching HS Orchestra. Whew! Now back to learning violin for myself. Shostakovich and Vivaldi - too much?? Ha! 🤪 My ears need to re-learn personal pitch, not "holy-hell-high-school-strings" pitch.
I need more patience.

Ahem...test, test...is this thing on? *deep breath in the BlueSky!!!
It is so nice to be able to breathe in here!
