NPR had a good feature on Stravinski's Rite of Spring, its
innovation, its initial reception, and its rather quick acceptence as a
major piece in the musical canon. Archived at the usual place, I guess.
Also, NPR had more on the Bear Stearns bailout which went down this week.
And the wrapup of the Iraq war fifth anniversary coverage.
Its snowing today. There wasn't much on the ground when I got up at five,
but it got heavier by 9.00am. Six or seven inches is forecast. I remember
watching the clouds come in last night at Rocky's; I had a scared, queasy
feeling.
