Just minutes ago, I was searching for a CD version of an LP by the brilliant pipe organist Jane Parker-Smith, noted since her teens for her mastery of the organ, piano, and harpsichordā¦ and I came across this:

There is an excellent documentary on the Doctor Who Pertwee era story The Mutants about race and depictions of race on British TV - itās worth getting of copy of the Mutants to see it (I donāt know if the newer blu-rays have that doc on it, but the older DVDs we have do). It talks about Cameronās appearance on Doctor Who and how poorly Hartnell treated him on set. He was on the Tenth Planet and was the first Black man to play an astronaut, I believeā¦

Actually, I searched for āJane Parker-Smithā āpipe organā Liszt.
I have her 40-year old LP covering Franz Lisztās massive organ fantasy and fugue āAd nos, ad salutarem undamā. My āclick pop suppressorā unit gave up the ghost long ago, so I figure a CD would address all.

Oh, sheās giving me quite the workout - even though sheās nearly 100 in cat years! After sitting passively through the first round of fireworks, I figured they werenāt bothering her. This is my first 4th of July in a new place, so I had no idea we could see anything from here. A few minutes ago, we saw a few that went high enough in the sky to clear the tree line surrounding the building. She jumped up, turned around, and tried to take a running jump off a table next to her perch.
She normally uses little steps that I set up for her to walk up and down, because her gait can be a bit stiff. Luckily, I just managed to catch her before she hit the floor. No more āsky fireā for us.

At first it seemed like heād make it, but the follow-ups in the past few days made it clear it was getting dire.
Thatās someone young and fit who would have had the best medical care possible. No one is immune from this.

The article reported that he had to have a leg amputated during his stay. Circulation problem? Perhaps he had some serious pre-existing condition that compromised any recovery? I have no idea. Broadway show fans in NYC follow show performers like fans of certain sports figures; this one must have hit hard.

He had the complication where C19 causes blood clots, leading to stokes and blocked circulation. I havenāt seen any pre-existing condition mentioned.

I wasā¦ not a fan, but he lived (and had a park named after him) in the town where my dad grew up.
This is purely anecdotal but when a relative or family friend is sick or injured, my momās response is āthey didnāt go to Summit, did they!? Oh thank heavensā¦ā
Unfortunately Vanderbiltās filled with COVID-19 patients, as of May or Juneā¦
