Thanks for sharing, Owen, your lectures on color. Have you studied the phenomenon of difference tones, ? It is well established that these resultant tones are subjectively created in the inner ear, making our ears themselves practically the only naturally occurring objects that can create the harmonic series, which you describe in your early lecture. Members of all cultures have the same ear structure, yet these colors do not form the basis of non-western music. Why do you suppose that it was “Western” music that uniquely developed the major/minor scheme?

Ooh, good!! I would suggest tweaking the balance. We’ll talk.

I just finished the final episode of The Mandalorian. This is really good stuff—the equal of or better than any of the Star Wars films. Good story line, excellent cinematic story-telling, character growth, great special effects, truly wonderful and compelling music. Plus a surprise at the very end.

Tried bagels with yeast instead of sourdough. Easier, quicker, prettier. Tastes pretty good too.

Owen, I’m going to attempt to bake sourdough bagels. How long do you boil them before baking?

Owen, I think Jenson is wonderful. The subtle changes of the serifs, the sweeping arcs, the period, the fun J,Q, and Z, make this font enticing. Looking forward to its completion.

The flour for the whole grain bread consists of hard red wheat berries, rye, and spelt, all milled on Barb’s home flour milling machine, plus some white bread flour, and some sourdough starter.

Pictures of young Bill Earl are amazing! I can almost see a hint of Owen in one or two of them. The

I have seen this ballet a couple of times in person and was delighted to be reminded of that by this clip. Thanks for posting it. It made me smile.
