The directors must work feverishly to get everything before the just-born play takes the stage – that night.

·

Ah, mid-November. Halloween has passed, making it acceptable for Christmas music to be blaring from department stores’ stereos, despite the fact that the holiday is more than six weeks away. It’s time now for winter coats, ugly boots and turkey. And Oscar buzz.

Throughout history, high-profile political figures have attracted public curiosity, heated debate and worldwide attention.

·

Every Monday evening, I sit down at my computer and conjure up some random nonsense about music. I enjoy the freedom that comes with a weekly column assignment – I can write about anything. Even music some people find terrible.
