TODAY is the 25th Anniversary of this performance of my work "Streetscape" commisioned and performed by #PaavoJärvi leading the #CincinnatiSymphonyOrchestra. One of the highlights of my life, despite the tragedy that took place a few days before. Thank you Paavo and CSO for the gig! ☺

So, in other news: So, I just finished orchestrating a bunch of songs for the singer, #CalumScott! No, I never never heard of him before either. But a few of his songs have gotten over a billion hits on the various socials. And my buddy, #KristjanJärvi, will be conducting! A gig’s a gig. ☺️

So, Is being in a relationship considered a privilege? Something that a select group deserves, but not the rest? Shouldn’t we be better than that?! #askingforafriend

I just want to thank Jimmy Swaggart for starting the “Ugly Cry” phenomenon for us middle aged mediocre looking men who wish we could bare our tortured souls without sounding like a dying walrus! 🤬 #popculture2026

Seriously folks! Virtually every piece composed by us 76 composers in this awesome recording by Min Kwon, utilizing Samuel A. Ward’s “America, the Beautiful”, is a revelation in the greatest of Arts. You need this recording more than you think you do.

Promotional video I made in celebrating the release of Min Kwon’s epic album “America/Beautiful” on the DELOS label. It was a true privilege to be one of the 76 composers involved in this awesome and gargantuan effort. Well done, Min! ☺️ youtu.be/uf9FAJmwUy4?... #AmericatheBeautiful #classical

Last night, I sang ‘Bruderlein’ from Johann Strauss Jr’s “Die Fledermaus”. At the CRYSTAL LAKE bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A song about enjoying the lovely people around you, no matter bad things can get. Obviously, this is especially relevant now. Long story short, it went over well. #opera

If you have to google the answer to the following questions when asked, then go away: How many minutes is a quarter of an hour? If you were born 13 years ago, how old will you be today? Name three countries. Is Europe a country or a continent? How many dimes make a dollar? #stupidity

My America is NOT DT, Shirley Phelps or Kid Rock. It IS Barack Obama, James Farmer and Aaron Copland. And If you think the current administration erases the legacies and accomplishments of the latter three people here, then I don’t need to know you. #250USA

Yes, I’m glad #Afroman won in his trial against the dumb Police suing him for defamation. But his #American Flag outfit, I found distasteful. For me, the best Americans are the ones who wear the flag only as a patch on their jacket, because it shows that they’re human beings first! #250th

Listening now to the glorious orchestral music of George Butterworth, as I walk home to my apartment in lower Manhattan. I suppose this isn’t newsworthy, but that’s your problem. Ahem…… #Butterworth #British #composers

Hanging at Variety Roasters in lower Manhattan, during this epic snowstorm. Composing music for a short film to be presented by ACM’s ‘Sound of Silent Film’ festival this year. Am I proud and maybe a little vain? YES, I AM! 😁 #AccessContemporaryMusic #ACM #SoundofSilentFilm

Anyone out there have a PDF score of “La Borinqueña”? I’d like to learn it, in case some MAGA person causes a problem and I can sing it in their face, with my index finger extended. #vivalapuertorico #peace #magasucks

Is it vain to publicly post here that I’m composing a piece of music, inspired by the illusion (or delusion) that it could save the world? 😏 #AskingForAFriend #DescendingIntoMadness

Dear MAGA folk. If you love the USA so much, then why don’t you even know what those 13 stripes on the American flag represent?! Shame on you for not knowing your own country’s history! 😡 #MAGA #TrumpSucks #usa #UnitedStates #stupid

Last night in 20 something degree weather in NYC, I was listening to Delius’ “Song of the High Hills” through my headphones, and refused to walk into the SoHo bar until it was over. I’m rather proud of that. ☺️ #delius #classical #orchestra #orchestral #music

Well, another dating conquest ended for me today. Although it was a polite and civil rejection, I still kinda liked this lady. It’s an age old story, I guess. I’ll be singing my heart out at a pub in Brooklyn doing Karaoke in tonight. One must do what one must do. #datingsucks #dating #single

Just discovered that Jimmy Swaggart died last July. The only thing he and I had in common was that we both cry like hyenas.

Bravi Paavo Järvi and the Estonian Festival Orchestra for their nearly sold out amazing Carnegie Hall concert of Arvo Pärt’s oeuvre. So cool to see some old friends I haven’t seen in years. Keep the awesome music playing! #PaavoJarvi #ArvoPart #EstonianFestivalOrchestra #Estonia

Ho hum. Another day. Another Tinder scammer. “She” unmatched me after asking me way early to share my number with “her” and I suggested we get acquainted. It was probably some guy from a foreign third world country who got a hold of this woman’s photos. 😡 #datingsucks #lonely

I came across this heartfelt letter, written at the @strangersproj location in the Oculus. This person’s message is touching and revealing about the cruel world of being single today. Thank you, whoever you are, for laying your heart on the line. #StrangersProject #singlelife #loneliness
