  • From Rhonda Sider Edgington on what a day

    Bach at the piano is a great way to stay sane!
    I keep thinking I want to do like some famous musician dude, who said every morning he played a couple Bach prelude and fugues on the piano. Except every morning when I might like to do that, everyone else here is asleep!

    • From jupiterj on what a day

      Maybe you’re thinking of Pablo Casals. He played a prelude and fugue by Bach every morning and bragged that his cleaning lady would hum tunes from them because of it. I marvel that he had a cleaning lady.

    Maybe you’ve read it as well, but A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do is so classic DFW – the way he veers wildly back and forth being laugh out loud funny and pondering deep and often depressing insights into facets of society that most of us haven’t thought about or seen.

      I have read A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace. Have you read Inifinite Jest by him?

  • From Elizabeth on t. s. eliot and guns that shoot music in my dream

    I found this because I too misremembered the line as “teach us to pray and not to pray. teach us to sit still.” It’s way better advice as he wrote it than as we dredged it up!
