I didn't know about this until I was out there. The orchestra was very professional during the sessions. Hell, they were just a great bunch of people. They aren't the least bit militant at all. But it's hard for them to swallow what is in effect a 12% cutback in one chunk. The night after the attack in the US they gave away tickets for a concert they put on.

Good luck Mr. Dressup! I remember passing him one day here in the hall a few years ago. "Hello!" he said in his familiar voice. He'd never seen me in his life. But he must have been awfully used to people looking at him with that expression on their faces . . ."Oh my god! It's Mr. Dressup!

Apparently Gordon Sinlcair had been responding to news that the American Red Cross was on the verge of bankruptcy. Here's the original story on a page which also offers some background.

Here's some even better background.

Gut. Soul. Of all the things people had said during those first awful days -- of all the words I had heard spoken -- it was Steinmetz's comment that most shook me. I realized that the musical choices that he and his colleagues had made that morning were based on knowledge, but not only on knowledge. No computer could have done what they did; there was no archive more useful than their own memory and experience. They made their selections with intelligence and passion, with craft and intuition, with a yearning for beauty and a desire to express sorrow -- a combination of skills and characteristics and needs that they share with the composers and musicians of the works they played and that comprise the condition of being alive and being human. With the disappearance of these irreplaceable qualities, the enormity of even one death can be staggering.

Congratulations Mark, Kelly, and Tom.

In case it's not clear, only the text which appears in italics and indented is mine (Peter's). All the rest is quoted from the sites to which I'm linking.

Dave's first sentence is the most important one as it gives clues to the games those in power will play to protect themselves.
