Clarence Pfricht was having a bad week. Everything was going wrong. Everything always goes wrong. Everything had nothing better to do than go wrong because if they didn't go wrong, they would only go worse.

The evening is an unchanging thing. The Earth spins us out of the sunlight and into the night and we pass through the luminal ombre of dusk to get there.

It's late October and the trees have all turned. Perhaps the last chance in the year for a barbecue. The warm afternoon had been taken advantage of and now you sit in the back relaxing.

Everybody is in a rush to get there in the morning. The tall building beckon as the little steam ferry battles its way across the bay on a wet and blustery day.

St Augustine. also known as Augustine of Hippo often quotes as the man who prayed "Lord, grant me chastity and continence, but not yet." He was only about thirty then and in a time of life. it was after this that he changed somewhat and began a more saintly behavior.

In The Nouveau Guinea Ensemble's inaugural recording "The Bumblebee's Briefcase." Our industrious bumblebee flies amongst the skyscrapers of Chicago on its way to important meetings...

Your heart will skip a beat but your feet will never fail as you fling your partner across the dance floor and vice versa.

Thirteen previously unknown & unheard ragtime songs collected between 1900 and 1910 discovered in the notebooks and papers of William G. Brogger of Ohio.... Plus one piece written by Gerlüz himself.
