There’s hand-wringing. And there’s taking action.
As a jazz pianist who needs to take better care of his hands, I have moved from the former to the latter. Between reckless tariffs, Signal slipups, university shakedowns, vaccine takedowns, meme schemes, and a litany of other lunacy, the current administration has moved me to participate in a steady stream of civic actions.
My thanks to the US News and World Report and their great editor, Hilary Krieger, for publishing a few of my thoughts.
Here’s the link and here’s the first paragraph:
As I’ve tried to digest the daily maelstrom of breaking news, the voice in my head has assumed the fevered pitch of journalist Herb Morrison when he delivered his eyewitness report of the Hindenburg’s tragic docking at New Jersey’s Lakehurst Naval Air Station in 1937. “It’s burning and it’s crashing! … This is one of the worst catastrophes in the world … Oh, the humanity and all the passengers screaming around here … It – It’s … I – I can’t talk, ladies and gentlemen.”

I’d love to read it but don’t have a subscription to US News & World Report.
Apologies for the inconeYou can access it two ways. First -you can give an email and create a password – no fees involved. Or, one person wrote that you can click into “reader” mode to avoid all that.
Anyway – thanks you for reaching out. Be well.
Always love your work, words and YOU!!!!
