http://youtu.be/G4nX0Xrn-wo Good evening - - - B.C. or before computers we used a contraption called “The Typewriter” to communicate in writing.  With the Computer we have lost something in the workplace. Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) was an American composer of short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler.   Leroy wrote   The Typewriter   for orchestra, completing the work on October 9, 1950.  T his orchestration was performed in a June 12, 2011 concert by the National Orchestra and Chorus of Spain in Madrid.   The (typewriter) soloist is Alfredo Anaya.

I make and receive very few calls on my mobile 'phone, so a prepaid "card" 'phone suits me very well. I have an AT&T "Go 'Phone".  The minimum amount for a prepaid card is $15 - enough in my case for two month's worth of calls. I got a bit annoyed with AT&T this week when, whenever I tried to make a call,  a recorded voice told me that my minutes were about to expire.  "Surely not" I thought, "for the 'phone indicates that I have more than seve...

FIRST  Hi D of Av-n Alar-s in Bristol U.K.  I hope that you have missed my blog.  I have been busy. SECOND I got wired as an FBI informant but the crooks were not deceived.  I wonder why?
