It would just be sheer common sense for an organization such as the CBA, one that?s activity-based, one that has a legion of different volunteers doing different things at different times, to construct a ?master calendar? with reminders to do all of the things that...

Hey Californians! As some of you know I have been back at Clark University for a few weeks and things are going great. Along with gaining more knowledge about the situation in the Middle East, I am taking a ‘Music After 1945’ class which is going to touch on many...

Twenty years ago, I lived in western Maryland. I really liked living there. Part of the fun was because there was a lot of good music in the D.C./Northern Virginia area. By that time in my life I had sort of drifted away from the music of my Carolina childhood....

Playing music is lots of fun. This is not a news flash for anyone out that plays music. It is fun, at every level. More so, I think, than golf. Nobody’s keeping score in music. Nobody’s going to beat you at the game of music. It’s not a game – it’s a form of...
