An Albany Visit and Elena Notkina - 10/28/19
An opening this afternoon, four blocks away from the Croft Family Home @The Hudson Valley Museum of Contemporary Art. It was nice to be greeted
by one of Nam June Paik's video robots upon entering the building.
A visit with Andrew of Bruised Apple Books. He put out another set of CD's that the retired Musicologist
donated to the store. All of the Musicologist CD's are available for 99 cents each. So I picked up
14 new discs to go along with the 50 or so that I purchased before.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have
five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper. ---Larry Flynt

James: So, Nicholas. What are you up to these days? Nicholas: Socializing with dancers.
James: You mean strippers, like we used to see on the weekends? Nicholas: No, James.
Most of the dancers I currently socialize with feel that they are legitimacy embodied. So, that kind.
Elena Notkina is a Russian born dancer and choreographer. She graduated from
The Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory (Russia) with a
Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Dance Performance and Choreography.
In a jazz atmosphere, the audience members were so quiet and respectful of the musicians
that you felt you were almost part of a meeting at a church or a temple, where everyone
was completely in tune with the sermon and what the whole event was about. ---David Amram
I like to go to anybody else's birthday, and if I'm invited I'm a good guest.
But I never celebrate my birthdays. I really don't care. ---Mikhail Baryshnikov

It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more
gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others. ---Joseph Addison
But I will meet you in the young hawk whom I see inside both you and me; he will guide you to the
Lord of Night, who will give you the tenderness you wanted here. ---Robert Bly ( Prayer for My Father )
