The annual brochure for an orchestra in which I played during high school promoted its concert tickets as costing "less than the price of a movie." Granted, there probably weren't many potential concertgoers who were on the fence between seeing "Platoon" in a theater and watching young musicians play Stravinsky's "Petrushka." Still, I'd like to believe that the promotional angle of "less than the price of a movie" made some people think, "I go to movies all the time. I don't see Classical music performed nearly as often. Why not support some talented musicians?" At least, that's the illusion I've chosen to preserve these last three decades.
I started this blog three years ago today. On September 1, 2014, I had no idea if I'd have enough music and radio-related thoughts to sustain this blog for more than a year. It turns out that I have more memories and more thoughts about the current state of music and radio than I realized. Thank you to everyone who enjoys reading my daily postings.
