the good, the bad, and the polytonal
Well, the good news is that we found the bike. It was buried under some things in the basement. So, that is very good news. The bad news is that our (de)construction gang upstairs have rattled loose some plumbing. I have been up most of the night emptying buckets. It is quite impressive. A steady stream of water dripping through plaster ceilings adds a certain drama to the evening.
The polytonal would be the concerts this weekend. There are several options for you. This is Chicago after all. But I would point you to two possibilities. First, North Shore Baptist Church is hosting Ken Medema Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The concert is the finale to the congregations 100-year anniversary celebration. On Sunday he will join us for worship and "play along." He is quite popular. And, though not quite my speed, he is a musical genious. Come to worship at North Shore on Sunday. It should be memorable.
Second, Chicago Choral Artists has a lovely offering of French polytonal glee.
It should be a good concert. If you can carpool and your funds are limited, I would suggest that you come Sunday evening (Some are going to Ken's concert on Saturday and then to CCA on Sunday...Medema and Bouzignac!). The Saturday concert is more convenient for the cityfolk, of course, but the ticket prices are fixed...the acoustic is sublime, but the ticket price is a little high for many. E-mail me if you have any questions. Give the number on the playbulletin a call as well.
Y'all have a great weekend. I may not be able to blog if the deluge continues.
Pax canticum!!

Oh! These people are having a baby! Trish and I will visit them in the Twin Cities this summer. And they will venture down our way as well. Ah, marvelous.
Dude:
I slept right through it. I feel bad: ya'll up in the middle of the night, the leak right outside my room, and me buzz-sawin' away. Sorry.
If it's any consolation, when I saw it this morning I felt really bad for you, getting up several times in the middle of the night. Sort of like a parent of an infant.
Ooops. Sorry. That one just slipped.
Seriously, bro, if you want/need me to do anything, let me know.
