It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Print Journalism is dying..

Newspaper ad revenue is down. There's too much competition for 'eyeballs'. Writers and reviewers 'hack' away in any way they can hoping do draw a bit of attention to the ever-shrinking printed page.

Some inmates here ventured out to see Dutiot conduct the Berlioz Requiem last Thursday. $120 a pop in Row 'T' of Orchestra. I loved it!

Local reviewer panned it. OK, so what do I know about music? My wife picks up a $20 'rush'(day of performance) ticket (row 'Z' Orchestra a few rows back but still not under the overhanging Dress Circle) and sees it Friday evening. She raves about it.

I haven't used newspaper reviews as a guide as to what to see or not see for decades. They have a job to do, like just about all current forms of so-called 'Journalism', and that's to entertain.

It appears your reviewer in the Providence Journal at least provided you with a bit of that. :-)






First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
