I missed that Richard Friedman had died. I was one of the 12.5%. A resident of a different state a decade later, I debated writing in his name for the Presidential election, as a better alternative than was offered on the ballot.
He was also a writer of hilarious mystery/adventure novels, featuring himself as the primary character. Armadillos and Old Lace is a favorite.
"but no one can imagine Bob Dylan composing a concerto."
*Could it be that Modern society we live in can no longer sit for 30-45 minutes and listen to a concerto? I suspect if Bob were around in the 16th-18th century that is want he would be composing. More likely he's be collaborating with a Mozart, he being a word smith.
(As always) But I Could Be Wrong.
*see you tube Shorts. We live in a microwave popcorn world.
This is a new revolution for music. This symphony features many new experiments including and not limited to the flugelhorn 12 note chord and Rachmaninoff prelude played on flugelhorn.

I wasn't aware CRAP was new and revolutionary for music.
yeah I love all kinds of music and like you, I realized the law degree and practice was more practical than a music degree but I still have a Hammond and Yamaha C3 to play with. There's always 200 more people promoting themselves and even with agents ... both of my kids were "represented" and sag/aftra but they also saw that the industry is dominated by entertainment "families" and even though the top music schools were courting them - they opted for NCAA sports and engineering school. A more current composer I enjoy muchly is Williams. Good luck to all who sacrifice so much for their pursuit of the arts.
John Prine.....lost way before his time.Thank you for this refreshing and heartwarming series.When I reach the end of each series my thoughts are wait ....is that all there is...want more.
