Our local symphony recently had Jeffrey Biegel as a guest performer. They performed Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. It was a fantastic, dynamic, invigorating performance. This is Jeffrey Biegel with the Brown University Orchestra playing a similar arrangement.

I'm still feeling the energy from Saturday's protest. We were 10 minutes late, and the line was already 1.2 miles long on one side of the street, and about half that on the other. Not bad for a county of 66,000 (because it is a county wide effort).

It's been a musical month!
? An amazing performance of Gershwin's "Rhapsody In Blue" at our local symphony concert.
? Amazing musicians and composers played a mix of Icelandic classical and folk songs. I cried twice.
? I saw Charlotte Loukola play songs from around the world on violin.
? I'm just so proud of our local resistance peeps.
? MisterInBlue. He's just my favorite person.

This was fun - it brought back some memories!
💛 When I was young, my Dad & I would go to the tobacco shop every Saturday. My dad got his papers & cigarettes, & I got a Peppermint Pattie & a piece of Bazooka Joe gum. I just loved that routine.
🧡 This candy wasn't on the list, but I loved Zotz fizzy candy.
❤️ I loathe coconut, and have never tried any candy with coconut.

We do not care what else is happening this weekend, or what may come up. We will be attending the protest Saturday (if our joints cooperate), then promptly heading home to hermit up for the rest of the weekend. We do not want company. We will be reading, napping, and watching trash.

It's been such a busy October, and I'm so tired. I need some time to myself!

? "Let us not forget that the biggest censor of books in this country is the prison system."
? "A US District court in Florida ruled that libraries can be viewed as 'government speech' and therefore open to censorship as government sees fit."
? "Saw someone say 'Stop hoarding books, we don't need paper books anyway" and I can't express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear....⬇️

Not book related. Just a work whine. But it is literacy related. I'm tired y'all. 🙄
*I don't think Finland is the only country that includes spotting fake news and propaganda in their curriculum. I heard Germany does, as well. There's probably others. But not the US.
#moodmonday @deblovestoread
pickWell researched and utterly fascinating. The last 2 chapters felt like the author ran out of time. He was a bit scattered in pulling everything together. However, the rest of the book is much more polished.
While the author doesn't explore the myriad theories surrounding Tupac's murder, I am more convinced than ever that he and Biggie were cointelpro-ed.
pickA thoroughly researched biography about a fascinating, admirable woman. Frances Perkins is a true inspiration.
I have a few quibbles with some of the writing, but Frances' life was so fascinating that it more than makes up for it.
Happy Love Letter Day. ✍️❤️💌

pickAnd I'm done. What a ride! Here's some initial thoughts:
-Love that he explores Kett's rebellion. The history is fascinating.
-It may have been my mood, but I found the slow pace infuriating.
-I did not care for the mystery. At all.
What a series! Thanks for hosting #shardlakeseriesbr, @dabbe
