Listening to this great version of The Moldau. I have a soft spot for this melody: it was one of my son’s favorites when he was an infant. https://youtu.be/fiOGCwZGgXY?si=tcWIzjWxktkt2Mg8 #ClassicalMusic14 Apr 2025 16:52 +0000at://did:plc:hogrbfdty4a5fehnjlxvmff5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmrzk5pqy22xhttps://bsky.app/profile/chrisiacono.bsky.social/post/3lmaggxptlc2nThis is my second time reading The Passion According to G.H., but I feel like I’m reading it for the first time again. “The drawing wasn’t a decoration: it was a writing.” 🤯 #BookSky 📚07 Apr 2025 16:55 +0000at://did:plc:hogrbfdty4a5fehnjlxvmff5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lmaggxptlc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/chrisiacono.bsky.social/post/3lm5xehvfic27Love this intro by Clarice Lispector in The Passion According to G.H. #BookSky06 Apr 2025 17:20 +0000at://did:plc:hogrbfdty4a5fehnjlxvmff5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lm5xehvfic27https://bsky.app/profile/chrisiacono.bsky.social/post/3ll7rfi7yvc22I read this for a reading group. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but I ended up loving it. This is the first in a tetralogy (or in this case, a quartet). Has anyone read all four books?

It’s too bad—even after 25+ albums, he was still innovating. He could have been a force in the 80s, when young Jazz musicians found inspiration from the hard bop masters. #Jazzsky #NowSpinning30 Dec 2024 18:16 +0000at://did:plc:hogrbfdty4a5fehnjlxvmff5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lek5cgx2is27
