He just missed making the top 10 again when the 1981 single “Her Town Too” — a duet with James Taylor — peaked at No. I had an agent, but I don’t know that I really read for any of those roles. In a 2018 interview with the Chicago Tribune, Souther said that he was still friendly with most of his superstar collaborators. I don’t really want to be stopped when I’m in the grocery store and have somebody pay a bunch of attention to me. Donations in JD’s honor can be made to Best Friends Animal Society, an organization that was very important to him.

The first witness in the insider trading case against Bruce Garelick was Andy Litinsky, a co-founder of Trump Media. Garelick has decided to take his chances with a jury after his two co-defendants, the brothers Michael Shvartsman and Gerald Shvartsman, pleaded guilty on April 3 to insider trading charges in the case. Garelick, Bach argued, "acted in good faith at all times." Shahabian repeatedly had Litinsky describe the confidentiality agreements in letters of intent that Trump Media signed with two prospective merger partners, DWAC and Bennessere Capital Acquisition Corp. Asked if he traded stock based on the confidential information, Litinsky likewise replied, "No," noting, "It would be against the rules."

☆ Peter Schickele, Composer and Gleeful Sire of P.D.Q. Bach, Dies at 88
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Margalit Fox | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Peter Schickele, an American composer whose career as a writer of serious concert music was often eclipsed by that of his antic alter ego, the thoroughly debauched, terrifyingly prolific and mercifully fictional P.D.Q. Bach, died on Tuesday at his home in Bearsville, a hamlet outside Woodstock, N.Y. His death was confirmed by his daughter, Karla Schickele, who said his health had declined after a series of infections last fall. Under his own name, Mr. Schickele (pronounced SHICK-uh-lee) composed more than 100 symphonic, choral, solo instrumental and chamber works, first heard on concert stages in the 1950s and later commissioned by some of the world’s leading orchestras, soloists and chamber ensembles. He also wrote film scores and musical numbers for Broadway.

☆ I.O.C. Says It Was Target of Elaborate ‘Fake News’ Campaign

The International Olympic Committee issued an unusual statement on Thursday saying it had been targeted by “fake news posts” that it said contained “defamatory content, a fake narrative and false information.” The elaborate campaign included manufactured quotations from I.O.C. The film remains visible on other platforms, however, including the encrypted messaging and content platform Telegram. It was a separate post on Telegram that appears to have prompted the Olympic committee to issue its statement on Thursday. Text accompanying the fake news report said the I.O.C. included links to its website and all of its official social media channels in its statement on Thursday, and requested that news media members contact it to confirm the authenticity of information circulating about the organization on social media.

The hateful email was a surprise, but for Eric Bach, it was not entirely unexpected. The young broadcaster had been anticipating something like it for some time. Three years earlier, while he was studying journalism at Michigan State University, he had publicly come out as gay in an essay he wrote for Outsports. He simply showed up to work, pulled his headset over his ears and described the action for the audience at home. More than a year after that incident, that email represents something of a nexus in Bach’s developing career as a sports broadcaster.

☆ David’s needs bachelorettes, not just brides

NEW YORK, April 18 (Reuters Breakingviews) - With marriage rates on the decline, David’s Bridal has once again tied itself in a knot. Last time this happened in 2018, David’s courted a group of lenders led by Oaktree to save it. loadingFunding for nuptial-related companies has been on the decline since, as has business at David’s. Modern brides are opting for cheaper casual and secondhand dresses over fancy getups, but they appear more reticent to compromise on pre-wedding soirees. It suggests perhaps that David's fresh start should embrace an old saying, with a twist: always the bachelorette, never the bride.

Bessemer Venture Partners has invested in the NFT marketplace OWND, which it found through its DAO. Better yet, this DAO had the backing of one of Silicon Valley's blue-chip venture firms, Bessemer Venture Partners. Bach Ryhl read all the crypto-related articles he could find on Medium and took a Web3 course on Udemy. Lunau Liechti, in particular, had been following the efforts of brands such as Nike and LVMH to launch NFT versions of their physical products. "We want to make it as easy to buy a Nike NFT as it is to buy a Nike sneaker online," Lunau Liechti said.

☆ ‘Bordeaux Concert’ by Keith Jarrett Review: An Ode to Spontaneity
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-24 | by ( Stuart Isacoff | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Pianist Keith Jarrett, a pioneer in several musical realms whose efforts were met with near-universal acclaim, can no longer perform. His multifaceted career included jazz ventures with the likes of Art Blakey , Charles Lloyd and Miles Davis ; classical endeavors in works by J.S. Bach , Bartók, Pärt and American-Armenian composer Alan Hovhaness ; and, most famously, expansive solo improvisations, such as the iconic “Köln Concert” of 1975, one of the best-selling piano recordings in history. Now, sidelined by two devastating strokes, both suffered in 2018, that part of his life has come to an end. Yet, numerous recordings are still in the can, and ECM is beginning to roll out a series of new issues—including a splendid solo concert captured live in Bordeaux, France, in 2016, to be released on Sept. 30.

În program vor răsuna fragmente din fundamentala „Arta fugii”, precum și două din îndrăgitele concerte pentru pian și orchestră de coarde de J.S. Pe 25 iunie, festivalul va continua cu tradiționalul recital de orgă, „regele instrumentelor” punctând un rol decisiv în creația și viața lui Bach. În anul 2000, cu ocazia marcării a 250 de ani de la moartea marelui compozitor, organistul a prezentat în Germania o serie unică de concerte în care a interpretat toată creația de orgă a lui Bach. Festivalul va culmina în data de 30 iunie , tradițional, cu o lucrare monumentală – oratoriul „Patimile după Ioan” („Johannes Passion”) de J.S. Biletele la concertele din cadrul festivalului sunt puse în vânzare la casa de bilete a Sălii cu Orgă și online – pe iticket.md.

“People need each other for support beyond the immediate staples of life,” Ma says. “They need music.”Do you think music is fundamentally good? Think about language, think about agriculture, think about navigation, think about engineering. I’m using culture.” It doesn’t need to be defined as “I’m going to play for you this piece of music.” It’s not that.
