In the Bleak, Mid-Winter
Elodie Lauten has a neat interview with Czech composer, conductor and flutist Petr Kotik who has a concert coming up on December 20. Kotik is also the founder of the S.E.M. Ensemble. Anybody know what the "S.E.M." denotes? I don't but then I don't know what R.E.M. is for either...Alan Theisen has a serious new photo of himself (as befits a newly married man) and a new discovery--Stefan Wolpe. Alan and his wife Misty were in town a few weeks ago and David Salvage and I joined them for a chilly Starbucks. Real nice folks, as we say down in Summers County, West Virginia...Blackdogred wonders what Pavlovian instinct it is that causes grown, sensible men (almost always men) to drop whatever they are doing at the sound of the words "desert island disks?"...Where is Kyle Gann? Doesn't he love us anymore? And after we gave him a "Jerry."
