“Barber’s Concerto cannot fail to charm by its gracious lyrical plenitude and its complete absence of tawdry swank.” -Virgil Thompson (on Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto, Op. 15)
This blog, on the other hand, revels in the charms of tawdry swank.

Hi,
not sure if I ought to post this here or on your old site, but,
have you heard anything about the potential fate of the “Mon Oncle” house?
Sale of the property is pending:

This being Edmonton, what are the chances of it NOT being torn down and replaced with some sort of faux West Van-style thing along the lines of the newer houses built along Saskatchewan adjacent to Windsor Park?
Congrats on the new website!

uhh, “Saskatchewan Drive adjacent to Windsor Park” I meant say…
No, I hadn’t heard about that. Yes, it would be a sad thing if this house was torn down. (referring to this post)
