I don't know if you have heard but Oliver Tree's family is putting forward a grant that will be helping out new artists that was written in his will before he died.

Just wanted to let my artist friends know that could help even us. That's actually pretty cool. 🍨

Don't complain if this is on your favorite hashtag.💩 #IDGAS #RIPolivertree #OliverTree #WednesdayWisdom #Artist #Grants #Artists #Will #Foundation #Socialism #TheArts #Music #Musician #Funds #Grant #Musicians

It would be *so nice* for this to occupy most of one's days. Oh, people say you can do this stuff anywhere, but the truth is you need the right setting for it...and this lucky darling has it. In Davidson Knowles's "Watercolours by the Window".

When your expression is one that in a just world would cause a thousand tries to help...yet your only solace is vibrations coursing through the air...

13yo will be auditioning in April for a spot in next school year's Musical Theater class.

For her audition, she must choose & prep two contrasting songs from the Golden Age of musicals.

She has chosen:

"My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music &
"I Hate Men" from Kiss Me, Kate.

Yesterday she had her first coaching session with my dad, a retired opera singer.

This entire situation delights me beyond all reason. ☺️😍☺️🤩🤩🤩

Instagram story rants…

Anti-Intellectualism: Clinging to "lack of privilege" and "lack of exposure to the arts" as a reason to, uh, [checks notes]… Rabidly insult anyone lucky enough (through dumb chance and no thanks to my actual life circumstances, I assure you) to HAVE that privilege and exposure? Not helping your cause, sweetie. If not everyone can fit at the table, you build a bigger table. You don't destroy the table altogether in a fit of spite.

Not sure how saying "there are $10 opera tix available" got to me being told to "take my meds and control my emotions," but… there you go. I guess if some people can't have nice things, then NOBODY should have nice things, instead of making nice things more accessible. And THAT is anti-intellectualism. HOW DARE YOU HAVE READ A BOOK. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T READ AT ALL. SHUT THE LIBRARIES DOWN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR NOT KEEPING YOURSELF IGNORANT AND EQUAL WITH THE LEAST OF THESE. NO ONE SHOULD RISE ABOVE THE LOWEST BAR.

Ah yes, the "cultural privilege" of being raised fundamentalist Christian so classical music was one of the few genres I was ALLOWED to explore. My bad.
