He played in bands at 13 and had his own band working at the Elks Club at 15.

At 18 he was at Juilliard, but his studies were in #jazz clubs.

The #culinary phenom Kenji López-Alt is a NYT Best-Selling author who plays #music wherever and whenever he can.

He started the #violin at 4 by the #Suzuki method at NYC's School for Strings. Chamber music is an electric connection for him.

Especially Beethoven.

#NASA 's TESS #space telescope has spotted an #Earth -like #exoplanet that's only 40 light years away. The closest habitable world yet.

Can we live there?

Maybe. Scientists need to do follow-up #atmospheric studies using the #Webb #telescope to be sure.

Stay tuned.

'People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent. When I listen to people talk, all I hear is what they're not tellin' me.'

#OTD #Beethoven leapt from the #piano embracing the #violinist George Bridgetower as they premiered the #sonata he wrote for him.

But it didn't end well.

Is Billie Eilish the only pop star concerned about the climate crisis? Enough to taken action?

She took on the fashion industry on climate and ethical concerns of selling fur, animal skins and leather. Every aspect of her new album is eco-friendly.

BRAVO.

Joy is not in things; it is in us. Imagination creates reality.

Art proceeds from God, and lives within the hearts of all illumined men.

Born #OTD , Richard Wagner, a musician who wrote music which is better than it sounds.

There were 6500 #satellites orbiting #Earth 3yrs ago and there's 10,000 today.

About 6,000 are #Starlink satellites from Elon Musk's Spacex, who plans for a fleet of 42,000.

Are we trashing #Earth ’s orbit as badly as we've trashed Earth itself?

Play with truth, sincerity and love. #Music is to the soul what words are to the mind. Music is the art of thinking in sounds.

Music is what feelings sound like. Music is a prayer that the heart sings.

Clara Schumann may she RIP #OTD .

#Grammy winning #pianist Brad #Mehldau connects the dots between #classical and #jazz on 2 new #albums .

“After #Bach II” and “Après #Fauré ” give his interpretations of works of each composer with his original compositions.

It's new. It's brilliant.

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.

What is best in music is not to be found in the notes.

Gustav Mahler, RIP #OTD .
