Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

And the best versions of the Brandenburgs I have come across had Pablo Casals conducting, especially at Marlboro. His interpretations have more vigor in them.

Strap Putin in a chair, prop his eyelids open and force him to watch images of ultra violence flash across the screen while an IV administered serum makes him painfully ill and classical music pounds him into jelly. Happy thoughts.

#3, 1st movement. Proto metal. A real head banger.

My favorite of Bach's is "English Suites" for piano. Hard to do well, but when done well, both rousing and contemplative.
