Mobile Martinu
I started several notebook entries over the last couple weeks, but they never quite got off the ground, I'm afraid. They are all more than a little self-analyzing and navel-gazing, and I don't exactly run with glee to the keyboard in order to confront those demons. So, until I wrestle these to the ground, download yourself some BooseyTones. How else will you get Different Trains to play every time someone calls you on your cellphone?
If my phone were compatible, I'd have Mr. Britten smiling benevolently upon me every time I opened the blasted contraption up. Yup, that would take less than one heartbeat to click on "Purchase". I've also always had a soft spot for that headshot of Copland testing the will of the Rain Gods ....
It's only a matter of time. You can bet my next phone will be Finzi-ready.

I'm sure I love Finzi as much as the next guy, but I think it's time for a new blog entry. Morning after morning, I pour my coffee and sit down at the computer and open all of my daily blogs in Tabs, only to see the same entry from you for 23 consecutive days.
Couldn't you at least write an entry about your soon-to-arrive house guests? ;)

I agree...I don't have enough Newman in my life. Although, Newman gets leeway because he gave us The Vinyl Six for download...and needless to say, that pays for at least one month of Blogs.
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen
