The Tell-Tale Signs of Corruption

Last week I read about Dan Patch.  Which reminded me ... the last several MWMs have been decidedly classical.  Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it also doesn't hurt to shake things up a bit.  Dan Patch comes in at 1:50.  (Pardon the advertisement.)



Besides, the subject of hypocrisy fits beauuuutifully into our little series on eudaimonic virtue.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't seen The Music Man (recently [enough]).  Remedy that right away! because Friday will be all about playing the good guy and what it does to your soul.

    Not ragtime! oh deary me, eh?

    Mr. Joplin may be in need of solace for such a slur on his art.

    (Who couldn't enjoy the Music Man's trouble?)

      Wow. I'm not a big fan of most jazz (Louis Armstrong aside) but that was ... actually rather beautiful!

    I'm trying to estimate the number of papers (or ballets, for that matter) that should be written on the triad of Mazurka, Tango, and Ragtime... I'm thinking at least three more.

      That sounds like subject matter for a blog post ...
