Reader mail: question about the banner photograph

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Guy N. Texas

Anonymous asks:

Question:   Guy, if you  really are in Texas, why does the “Notes and Rests” banner show a snowy forest?

Answer:    Because, Anonymous, in the real world where my office is located, it was 110 degrees in the shade earlier today. As I write this at 8:30 in the evening, it’s a more moderate 108. So I have created a virtual world that is cold and wintry. No subterfuge. Just wishful thinking. “It’s good to be the king.” (Mel Brooks, “History of the World Part One”).

    Classical music is best written in cold places.

      I dunno. The Russians have a great tradition, true, but so do the Italians. And where are the great Canadian symphonies?
