Vale the great, great Alf Clausen. So much joy and light in your music. Such effortless mastery and such exquisite lightness of touch.

I’ll be listening to “Swing Can Really Hang You Up The Most” on a loop in your honour. You’ll always be a hero to me
Composer, Alf Clausen

This is some of Franz Waxman’s loveliest but least known music

It was a gift for Jascha Heifetz, though I don’t believe he played it in public

“Good Morning” from Waxman’s suite, Scenes of Childhood

Piano - Martin Cousin
Violin - me

A photo of a young David Lynch sitting on a couch with five Woody Woodpecker dolls, and the following text: David Lynch is recalling a day in 1981 when, he says, he "rescued" five Woody Woodpecker toys that he saw hanging up as he drove past a petrol station. "I screech on the brakes, I do a U-turn, go back and I buy them and I save their lives," he says seriously. "I named them Chucko, Buster, Pete, Bob and Dan and they were my boys and they were in my office. They were my dear friends for a while but certain traits started coming out and they became not so nice." Looking straight ahead he says with a grim finality: "They are not in my life anymore."
