Won't You Blog More, Paul Bailey
Paul Bailey has a blog and a string ensemble -- whoops! Make that an alternative-classical garage band. He doesn't blog every day but he should. He dug up a wacky Stokowski quote to add to the great concert etiquette debate:
It has been the dream of my life to have a Temple of Music. This very minute I have the plans for such a temple completed at my House. Each of the audience would sit alone in a stall-like seat. No one would see his neighbor … Just before the music begins the light will be slowly dimmed so that the entire temple will be in darkness and the audience will be literally drenched in beautiful music.”Plus he generously hyped Ethel, a string quartet -- whoops! There I go again. Paul Bailey quotes Kyle Gann, who explains:
Yes, Ethel is the quartet's name (we'll get into that later), and don't dare call them "the Ethel String Quartet." They're just Ethel, and they represent perhaps the most radical redefinition of the medium yet.Read it all. Now.
