Few classical music enthusiasts are aware of the tremendous contributions of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, an African-French composer whose opera and classical masterpieces equaled or far exceeded those of his 18th-century contemporaries. Although his compositions are highly recognized overseas, they have gathered little notice in the United States. Today there are thousands of celebrated and [...]
Kangaroo Jake and I were both passing through west Texas.

I’ve visited El Paso in the far western part of Texas. The 2018 population estimate for the city from the U.S. Census was 682,669, making it the 22nd largest city in the United States. I spent time near the airport and must say, if you get a chance to stop over to do some shopping, this is [...]
