Dope performance
It’s not something you really suspect when you’re down at the local philharmonic, but it seems performance-enhancing drugs have entered the realm of classical music.
National Public Radio had all the latest information here.
As if that weren’t distressing enough, there are now reports of a newly discovered Beethoven symphony—the 10th, for those keeping score, so to speak.
Please don’t riot, and take the date into consideration.
Other greatest hits here and over there.

Congratulations, Josh!
Are y'all subscribed to "The Free Press?" Douglas Murray's Sunday column makes it worth it. I love having the option of listening to him read some of his favorite poems. Off I go to listen to him read "The Lamb" for a third time. Very fitting on Palm Sunday.
MG, thanks for the post and the kind words. I am very fortunate that I get to do this when I only do my woodwork for fun. Life is good, no complaints here.
