Excellent pianio playing highlights premiere of Liebermann concerto
Biegel is a generous musician, busily promoting new music and rarities. He's made popularizing this concerto his mission and -- who knows? -- after a third hearing he may convince me. About his accuracy, energy and prowess with trills, scales, cascading chords and the rest of the munitions in the pianistic armory, there can be no doubt. Also distinguishing themselves in the Liebermann were trumpeter Lynn Weeda and horn player Darrel Kincade, both of whom had several places where they were prominently exposed and where they consistently acquitted themselves marvelously. The brass had its work cut out for them in the concert finale, Aaron Copland's Symphony No. 3. Conductor Randall Fleischer did a commendable job of nuancing the voices and counterpoint in the first movement.
Withdrawal means defeat for U.S., Iraqis
There may be hope for some of these progressives, if only they realized that waging war is not done on a contract basis with specific goals and specific completion dates, like building homes or highways. Watson writes: "Selfishness drives each group to achieve what it wants. There is no true spirit of compromise to build a functioning country."

Hornish shines in NASCAR debut
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – There was no time for Sam Hornish Jr. to celebrate his 15th-place showing in Daytona 500. The open-wheel star had to hustle back to Ohio to pitch in on diaper duty. Hornish's first child, a daughter, was born the week he reported to Daytona, and his commitment to racing caused him to miss 10 of the first 14 days of her life. He raced home after Sunday's season opener so he could take over the midnight feedings wife Crystal had been handling alone. "I've been gone for about five days out of each week over the past two weeks that she's been around," he said. "My wife's been pretty much home alone taking care of things herself, and I had to give her a little bit of a break. It's been great as a first-time father and is something that I've been looking forward to for a very long time.

Johnson/Rathdrum: "This is the Fourth of July, and freedom was won with guns that made noise, and I don't see any reason why we can't do that in the parade." DFO: Mayor Sandi Bloem and the chamber made a good call. There's no reason for a parade entry to spoil this celebration b/c a coupla middle-agers want to shoot off their own version of fireworks along the route. Question: Do you support the chamber's decision to allow the Patton command vehicle replica but not the noise from the 50-calibre gun? .
