At that time, I was the principal bassoonist for the Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra, and my life was strung with a pattern of lessons, rehearsals, concerts, after-parties, and more rehearsals. It was a good life, a great orchestra, and our conductor [...]]]></description>

But we also learned America the Beautiful, the Irving Berlin tune God Bless America, Woody Guthrie&#8217;s great This Land Is Your Land, and a whole raft of other stuff.  It&#8217;s one of those weird [...]]]></description>

The room was dark and we were all seated on the floor facing the middle of the room. Susan walked into the center of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the early 90s I came across a really amusing article in an obscure little magazine. The article was by this guy who had always wondered what the lyrics were in Manfred Mann's version of the Bruce Springsteen song Blinded By The Light. You know, the part where they sing "Blinded by the light/wrapped up like a..." or "revved up like a..." What the heck were they singing, anyway?

It was the author's method of finding out what the lyrics were, in those pre-Google days, that made the article so amusing. He went to the Rainbow Cattle Co. bar in Guerneville one evening and, yelling to be heard over the blare of dance music, asked several of the patrons what they thought the lyrics were. The resulting mini-interviews were hilarious, and the best part is that he never did answer his own question.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My sisters and I were all subjected to a rigorous musical education as we grew up. We all took piano lessons from the age of five, and by the fourth or fifth grade we all had taken up a second instrument as well. Two of the sisters quit taking piano lessons by the ninth grade, the other two—my sister Sarah and I—continued through high school. Sarah and I both began college as music majors, and she went on to graduate with a BA, two MAs, and a PhD in music-related fields.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back when Bowen and Lyra were about 5 and 3, I was a frustrated songwriter. I had several under my belt from years past, but not as many recent ones as I would have liked. There were two or three half-finished songs I was trying to pull together, and somehow I thought it was a failure on my part that I couldn't find the time with two little kids to finish them. When I did take time from everything else to work on my songs I found I had nothing to say, or rather was too full of things I didn't know how to say. Not understanding the cause or the cure, I called it writer's block.]]></description>
