It's very easy to see it, hear it, smell it and taste it everywhere you go. For me, coming from a culture like that, it's just very hard for me to see the same things in the mid-west. I'm sure it's there, but honestly, I can't see it. Perhaps you could help me see it better? Maybe it's more subtle and I'm just not looking hard enough and I admit that I am being a little hard on the mid-west and a little unfair too.Anthony Joseph Lanmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06824344268348980354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12782529.post-1159473635677094252006-09-28T13:00:00.000-07:002006-09-28T13:00:00.000-07:00when you say that "the midwest is devoid of a cul...when you say that <I> "the midwest is devoid of a cultural tradition" </I> what are you basing that on?<BR/><BR/>(i should say that i was one of the moderators of that panel discussion -- i was asked to do it by the department)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12782529.post-1142032239182132182006-03-10T15:10:00.000-08:002006-03-10T15:10:00.000-08:00Gall stones?!

I thought it was just the constipation that pusuing a DM at IU causes emotionally and creatively.<BR/><BR/>So when is "Sedated Palestrina Nightmare" going to be released?<BR/><BR/>That MWCS panel story is interesting. I can totally picture you up there, your face buried in those big mitts, head shaking back and forth. Why is the Midwest devoid of a cultural tradition, I wonder? Is it because of the lack of good food? Someone actually said they were "sick of functional harmony?!" Was it Powder? Christ, composer conferences are the worst.<BR/><BR/>A great post: A+Rafael Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941275799764140560noreply@blogger.com
