  1. Alex... I'll try to get back to you ASAP concerning your "Eurotrash" selections. School is out and I am spending much of the day in the studio painting and most of the time when I get home going through images... working on ideas for the paintings... and listening to music. I currently have (unbelievably) some 100+ opera recordings on CD that I have yet to listen to. Today I got around to listening to Jacques Ibert for the first time. His Divertissements is an absolutely wild piece... it is as if Stravinsky went insane and hung out in the Parisian strip clubs with Kurt Weill, Fats Waller, and Spike Jones!
  2. While I have your attention, I must ask a favor of you. Listen to these two songs, and listen to them earnestly. It will take up 10 minutes of your time. After you have listened to them, tell me if you would call this eurotrash? I do not do this for the sake of my pride, which I admit is a common fault of mine, I do not even need or particularly want you to answer. Merely listen to the songs, the appreciation and recognition of a thing of beauty is my only wish.

  3. There are some interesting images there. The Alphonse Mucha posters are great. He and Tiffany virtually defined "Art Nouveau". You might also read up on the interesting life of Eve Nesbit. I'd come across fer life story somewhere before.

    These might be of interest or al least some fascination
  5. Thanks for introducing me to Gesualdo, very beautiful and tragic. Like a damned soul.
