A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

#I've started using 'our bees are all dead' as my standard filler during lulls in conversation #and no I am not kidding #that is actually 64 year old George Arthur Lincoln in the recording #I'm writing up a bio of him that will hopefully be up within a few days #because this kid grew up to be involved in Forrest Gump levels of 20th century historical events #he was the youngest american general in wwii and was involved in the strategy of d-day and the planned invasion of Japan #he was at yalta and potsdam #he started a social sciences department at West Point #which resulted in his students being called commies because why should soldiers study culture and economics instead of shoot gun at thing #he ended up as the director of the office of emergency preparedness while nixon was president - hence the phone call #this poor man had to sit through so many meetings with Henry Kissinger #his younger brother (Waunce from the letter) was also a general #they were known as 'big abe' and 'little abe'

For everyone who’s looking for kdramas to watch between Lovely Runner episodes may I suggest:

Twinkling Watermelon

similarities: time travel, lots of shenanigans, great music, disabilities and mental health themes

A Time Called You

similarities: time travel adult back to high school, great chemistry between leads, murder plot

twenty five twenty one

similarities: ml falls first, love over the years, high school to college years

True Beauty

similarities: same writer! second lead syndrome, love triangle, high school love story, idols in training

Honourable mentions:

Record of Youth (Byeon Woo Seok plays second lead! Idol drama!)

Sh**ting Stars (Idol drama!)

Extra-ordinary You (Kim Hye Yoon FL, tall drink of water Rowoon ML)

20th century girl (movie but Byeon Woo Seok is incredible in it)

Strong Girl Nam Soon (nothing like this show but Byeon Woo Seok plays an INCREDIBLE villain)

@dotsayers correctly guessed the source of my recent nonsense posting, so here is An Attempt At A Biggles as a reward.

#em draws stuff #em is certainly not posting about bigglesworth #<- preemptive Biggles Containment Tag #this was actually. very fun to draw and fulfilled my need for early-20th-century goofin' #I will admit to having looked up some book covers for Outfitting Purposes #which led to Perplexing Images of a Five-Foot Crab Being Hit With An Axe #which led to Doing A Live Reading of The First Chapter of 'Biggles Charter Pilot' on the Floor of the Record Library #which led to one of the friends I was doing said live reading to calling biggles a 'fucking squid-hater' #and (since I also read out the descriptions provided) the second friend referring to him as a 'femboy' #a normal and regular time was had by all :] #I am going to continue with my quest to not be reading bigglesworth at this time but I really cannot deny the fact that the phrase #'what if I did a radio show where I just read these on air' Was in fact said by someone who may have been yours truly em cupola

Rautavaara - Cantus Articus (1972)

Here one could see another example of a 20th century composer "leaving" behind a modernest style of writing to "revert" to a Neo-Romantic / Neo-Tonal style. This is sometimes used as an argument to show that the extended techniques of modernism have been exhausted and that there was no creative future in the avant-garde, and all this is used to reaffirm a kind of conspiracy or propaganda that "modern classical music isn't enjoyable" "it's just noise" "see even this big name composer agrees!". Maybe there are some people who believe that, but in this case it isn't so fitting. Even when Rautavaara was in his twelve tone days, his music still prioritized lyricism. If anything starting with ultramodernism helped as a foundation for his more characteristic style, which is the typical progression of a composer's creative life: get a foundation in the tradition, and focus on what you like until you find 'your voice'. In this work, a "Concerto for Birds and Orchestra", Rautavaara combines his lyricism and extended neo-romantic tonality and cluster chords with recordings of birdsong written to blend together as if the birds were like earlier imitations of birdsong in other parts of the tradition (Vivaldi, Beethoven, Schumann, Messiaen, etc. etc.) His inspiration came from the commissioner. Rautavaara was asked by the University of Oulu to write something for a graduation ceremony. The university is farther north of Helsinki and the composer said its "Arctic" location inspired him to incorporate northern birdsong recordings, instead of writing a more traditional or expected graduation cantata. In his own words;

The bird sounds were taped in the Arctic Circle and the marshlands of Liminka [a municipality in the former province of Oulu, in Northern Finland]. The first movement, Suo (The Bog), opens with two solo flutes. They are gradually joined by other wind instruments and the sounds of bog birds in spring. Finally, the strings enter with a broad melody that might be interpreted as the voice and mood of a person walking in the wilds. In Melankolia (Melancholy), the featured bird is the shore lark; its twitter has been brought down by two octaves to make it a “ghost bird.” Joutsenet muuttavat (Swans Migrating) is an aleatory texture with four independent instrumental groups. The texture constantly increases in complexity, and the sounds of the migrating swans are multiplied too, until finally the sound is lost in the distance.

Regardless of ideological biases, there is agreement that the unique use of recording technology incorporated in engaging orchestral writing makes this concerto a modern classic.

"Those were the days", Mary Hopkin

1968 Written by Boris Fomin and Gene Raskin

One of fifty posts in Let's Do It, my personal favourite singles from 1954-76.

Take the tune from a Russian romance song, and discard the words. Add a fresh lyric written by an architecture lecturer. Have it sung by a gamine nymphet from OpKnox, and get top pop star HRH Sir Paul McCartney in to produce it. Release it through Paul's label, and watch the royalties roll in.

OK, we're being a bit snarky. "Those were the days" works because it's a bit exotic, the trills and arrangement in the introduction tell us how the song isn't foursquare rock 'n' roll. It works because Mary Hopkin is a tremendous singer, uses her voice to conjure up a spell, a vision of the scene. And it works because the lyric fits, tells a story and meshes perfectly with the tune.

Perhaps the only dissonant note: Mary is young, and she's singing an old woman's song. She later reflected, "Maybe that's what worked with the song, the fact that I was almost a child, singing an older woman's song. That's what people liked about it. But I felt privileged to have been given that song by Paul." She revisited "Those were the days" in 2018, worth a listen.
