100 Years Ago This Week...

Just a short post from me today. April 12, this Thursday, is MENC's Centennial! If you haven't been to the Centennial Web site, please take a look -- it's still not quite finished, but there is lots of fun information posted. You might enjoy the random "Facts from 1907" - for instance, do you know which composer/conductor was born the exact same day, April 12, 1907, as MENC? What very sweet treat was invented in 1907? How much it cost to post a first-class letter in 1907?

It's not quite lunch and I've already had three meetings this morning. Must get right to starting on all the work that came out of these meetings! I'm lucky to have some great music to look forward to later this week. David Lindley and Leo Kottke, two amazing guitar players, will be performing together locally. Should be a fantastic evening of music.

Happy Centennial!
