Bach is Back

Dive with him to explore that underwater cave of the chaconne.  Parting ways the violin strikes up the...


BEWARE OF DOG BYTES

The New Yorker issue of July 5, 1993, carried a now-famous cartoon by Peter Steiner.  The cartoon and its caption, “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog” became famous enough to warrant its own Wikipedia Page.

Smile: it makes people wonder what you’re up to

 

“When you’re smiling,” Louis Armstrong (and dozens since) sang, “when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.” More than 80 years later, scientists are getting around to proving that Larry Shay, Mark Fisher, and Joe Goodwin’s lyrics were more than just a pleasant homily.
