It’s been way too long, I know. Some family business that interrupted things, plus the end of the season madness. Now of course we’re in the middle of summer and I’m busy biking like a madman and preparing our kitchen for the renovation. JOY!!! So, the new podcast is Watch the Birdie! Please enjoy.

Peace,

WFE

Peace out wfe No No Classical Connections Shows up in iTunes! http://www.classicalconnections.net/17 http://www.classicalconnections.net/17#comments Sat, 18 Feb 2006 05:38:35 +0000 Emily Petrick Stuff http://www.classicalconnections.net/17 This post is from Bill’s very lame and busy webmaster:

Finally the podcasts are appearing in iTunes.

Big thanks to Garrick Van Buren and his whiz-bang plugin for making it easy.

There needs to be some refinement on categories, and having an image show up and I need to make sure that the latest one is there, but I’m going to Paris tomorrow, (so what the h do I care…ha ha) so we’ll revisit this when I return.

Signing off! Rock and Roll. Peace. Hug your loved ones today.

If I get it figured out ya’ll will know…..

This is always my favourite day of the year, simply because Christmas is over. Can’t tell you how tired I am of the rampant consumerism evident during the so-called Advent time. I keep threatening to move to a predominantly Muslim country around this time every year. Yikes.

On a happier note - the next podcast can be found here. It’s the first volume of a new series that I’ve started. Hope ya’ll enjoy it.

Peace out

Classical Connections Podcast 1: The French Connection No No Help our friends down south http://www.classicalconnections.net/7 http://www.classicalconnections.net/7#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2005 12:28:29 +0000 Podcasts Random Thoughts http://www.classicalconnections.net/7 Sorry there’s been no posting folks, but I’ve been busy getting ready for the season. But this topic is too important not to post: All during the middle and late 90’s I used to regularly fly down to New Orleans to conduct the Louisiana Symphony. I have a lot of great memories of those days, and the folks @ the LPO are real intrepid musicians, running their own orchestra, and surviving and even thriving when other orchestras have lost their way.

Now much of their lives are in shambles. Hurricane Katrina effected them as it did everyone else. But in true LPO spirit they are surviving, and I’m very happy to report that the music world has rallied to help our colleagues with offers of jobs, gigs, and places to stay. My friend (and the first guest commentator on Classical Connections) Drew McManus has set up the following site - as a clearing house for offers of support. If anyone has any time, space, etc., for our fellow musicians please visit this page and post.

Even if you don’t have something particularly musical please donate to relief efforts for Hurrican Katrina. Every little bit will help.

Thanks,

Bill
