Last Light 2007

Fading Year

Happy New Year

One particular memory of a New Year's Eve sunset stands out:
2003: Athens, Greece.
Me: Sitting on top of Olympic Stadium
View: Acropolis shining, lit up in forground,
Radiant sunset behind
Thousands of years, Millions of eyes, One moment

I will be in New York harbor ringing it in this year...

Bach Fest

Have been digging the week-long celebration and non-stop airing of the music of J.S. Bach on WKCR here in NYC (as well as WKCR.org). From Christmas Eve to New Year's Day they devote at least a token of the time necessary to honoring this Musical Genius of geniuses. One week is a nice start.

Amazing scope.

This is the same station that airs Phil Schaap's "Birdflight" on weekday mornings - dedicated to the music and legacy of Charlie Parker. Monday he signed off for the year and mentioned the BachFest which is an annual event. Highly recommended.

Have been working on the Yoraku website. Looking forward to getting that up and running.
