Bratsy,
A number of you have approached me about setting up a "space" where YRCAA singers can post items that they think are of interest or concern to the entire membership.
I have set this thing up and hope it will work. In principle, access and posting and comments are open to all.
Voila! Gentlemen, start your engines!
Happy New Year!
HH
Bravo. Tov. Harald!

..and all you other Bratvi: Get out there and sell tix to our January 30 92ndY Gig. Nothing less than SRO is acceptable!
thanks, HH! This should be fun. Meanwhile, good luck in the NYC concert, and the best of New Years!
ReplyDeleteI am fully aware of the many US failings John Brightly lists. I would add to these October 29's Bill-Moyers Boston-University talk, "Welcome to the Plutocracy." But I don't know how we can bring either our collective or individual power to spreading John's (well-put and largely accurate) propoganda in any way that doesn't come out as "one more of those left-wing things." (In a similar way, I am wary of thoses who wave "PEACE" signs--because lack of peace is less important in my mind than digging into and trying to change those specifics that make our world unpeaceful. "Peace sounds great; everyone says it, but none of that seems to amount to a hill of beans.)
ReplyDeleteOf course, it was easier in the USSR days, when we could cite the US as a better world than that operating in the Soviet bloc. The early questions from the crowds were about comparative economics--bread issues).
Now we have to say, "Here we are, a bunch of (mostly) Americans celebrating the beauties of Russian choral singing, and we're here to tell you that Canada or northern Europe are far better places to live than either Russia or the US."
How in hell do we do that?
