Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983 -- nice to hear his


Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 28, 1961), and



Richard Berry (1935-1997).

Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) - Symphony No. 7 in E Minor (1907),


a very enlightening show on just how long slaver lasted in the U.S.


(what with differing enforcements of laws, and the farming out of prison sentences literally to farms -- 1942 -- only coming to an end so that Japan wouldn't have this neoslavery as something to level against the American system),

Harriet working on her

Joe Biden working on outlawing, by registering, ghost guns,



more news


on the depravity of the


Former Occupant and his


circle,


the beginning of the film (2005) of


the Douglas Adams (1952-2001) - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1978 radio, 1979 book), and


the return (albeit only partial) of Rachel Maddow!
