Of course, if your excuse is that the Commander in Chief is obviously increasingly senile, you’ve just contradicted all of your previous reporting, and the pretense that he isn’t increasingly diving into senility.

While much has been made of the fact that the information about UFOs provided by David Grusch, the Air Force whistleblower, has all been second hand i.e. he was told about things by people who had been involved with and had seen these UFOs and other things first hand, but Grusch had not actually witnessed any of these things himself.

Well, here is Senator Marco Rubio yesterday, telling a reporter that knowledgeable people–former and current members of the government–who did have first hand knowledge, had been coming to his committee with “incredible” information on these things for two years now, and that these people feared the repercussions on their careers and livelihoods, some apparently fearful that divulging this information might even put their lives at risk. *

It seems to me that such wariness by people involved in these clandestine programs does make the assertion that some people had been murdered in the course of this coverup a little more believable.

Is there some ineffable quality to Chopin which eludes the synth masters?

Walter/Wendy Carlos and Tomita were geniuses at the classical pieces they reworked for synthesizer. Especially when one considers how primitive their equipment was.

Maybe Carlos and Tomita just weren’t big on Chopin and the window for classical-synth covers closed.

Synth players today mostly seem to be doing their own thing, which is fine, though they haven’t pierced their bubble to mainstream, aside from adding color to other musics.

After I learned to read and looked at my mother’s piano scores, I got all these composer names wrong:

Chopin — CHOP-in
Beethoven — BEE-thoa-ven
Bach — BATCH
Debussy — DEE-bus-ee

I loved the music without knowing how to pronounce the names.

I started ballet classes at the age of 4, and we always danced in class to piano music – most of the time played live. The vast majority was Chopin, only I didn’t know that at the time. But to me, Chopin’s music was ballet, and I became familiar with tons of it and loved it without ever knowing it was all by the same person, this “Chopin” guy..

I’m also a synthesizer fan, but I can’t think of any good synth renderings of Chopin, as we have for Bach, Beethoven, Debussy and so on.

The top several YouTubes of synth Chopin I tried weren’t pleasing at all.
