Pretty scary stuff. Hope you don’t run into any problems getting to the music fundraiser. If you can get incriminating pictures, do it! LOL!

I'm going to tell them that Congress will re-establish the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Democratic Party?"

Then I'll tell them about the new government website, www.denounceyourneighbor.com, that will go into effect the day after the inauguration.

"Is your neighbor a liberal? You can earn ten thousand dollars for turning him in!"

Should be a lot of fun.

When Frannie died, there was a lot of unpublished material left in his trunk, and his brother Ferdinand sat on it for 25 years. He handed it over to Robert Schumann because Bob was the publisher of the leading German language musical journal of the era. The final three piano pieces of Franz Schubert were handed by Schumann to the young Johannes Brahms to edit.

This is a very austere piece, and it gives a hint of where Schubert was going when death took him at age 31.

Schubert: Impromptu in E-flat, D. 946/2
