A friendly word of advice...there are some regulations of "Wearing the Uniform" and doing some activities would be seen as a condition known as "unbecoming" and "disgracing the uniform". Please don't do anything with someone who is currently serving. You never know who is online. It could have...

That's either Rittenhouse Square or Washington Square. Can't get a better shot of the background.

He used what was typical for his time...Circle of Fifths. It was the time of experimentation and discovery. Mathematics and music is intertwined. I arranged Canon in D with a song that fit right in (Seek Ye First) for Soprano Recorder and Piano. Took me about a year, three versions of song...

We call Taps "The Saddest 24 Notes You'll Ever Hear". I have sounded it for fallen friends as well.

I have performed "Taps" (on a cornet, LIVE) for two veterans, several memorials and the City of Philadelphia's Veterans' Day ceremony in the last week. Having performed over 1,000 services for veterans and active-duty personnel over 10 years, I am a small part of many buglers across the country...

Thought you left us, Carol. Still working in Center City?

Carol, Is your phone still current? Send me a PM.

A friend of ours gave us his copy of Rome, HBO series. Not bad for the first season. We have the BBC series, I, Claudis on DVD. We're both into history. Watched the second season of Rome. Very disappointed. HBO decided to use "farbie" language (fuck was coined during the Victorian Era, not...

Been away myself. I'm right behind you, Iz. I'll be 56 in May. So that makes me Number 3.

If you like Poe, you might think of coming to Philly and see one of the homes he lived in. It's at 7th & Spring Garden, just north of Center City. I used to pass it every day going to my office. The area was considered 'suburban' back in the 1840s.

Just filed for SSA-disability (ugh). It seems I have the vestages of a industrial ailment (carpal tunnel syndrome). Can't hold the computer mouse for long, can't type for long, can't hold anything heavy in my right hand (writing) or hold a writing instrument (pen or pencil) for long. I can't...

Damn! I forgot about The Changeling (original, starring George C. Scott). BTW, any movie made by Roger Corman or Castle Films. Saw the Exorcist (original) in the movies. Played hookie with a former friend. He was in shock afterwards. Had to drag him outside and got some coffee.

My favs are probably older than most of us living..... "The Uninvited" Starring Ray Milland, "The Haunting" Starring Claire Bloom, "The Tower of London" Starring Vincent Price (good rack scene and plenty of ghosts). I have some ghost documenteries on DVD. Really don't care for blood, guts...

I'm in the River Wards area. That's Bridesburg, Port Richmond, Fishtown neighborhoods.
