I've resisted weighing in because no two dudes are the same — and I really don't dig the gender-normative trends in groomsmen gifts.

Burning Man is NOT a Spectator Sport: How to PARTICIPATE

I recently posted HOW TO GET READY for BURNING MAN encouraging YOU to get going on your bike, your camp, and your costumes.There’s a lot of advice out there on the subject of how to prep and what to wear, but let me warn you, some of it is BOGUS! For example, Squidoo’s Burning Man costumes site is full of ads for clothes that aren’t appropriate–some are downright dangerous and others–like anything feathery–produce MOOP (Matter Out Of Place).Because Burning Man is NOT a Spectator sport, footwear

Introduction to the Bassoon

The bassoon is by far one of the lowest sounding members of the woodwind family of acoustic musical instruments, and it is also perceived by many to be one of the most versatile. The double reed nature of the bassoon gives it a quality that is rich and slightly buzzing in the lower notes, and higher up it has a sweet nasal sound. Bassoons are capable of being largely expressive when they act as solo instruments, and they offer a warm vibrato that enables them to sound similar to a resonant barit

Have You Ever Attended a Classical Music Concert?

I have been extremely lazy about attending concerts lately, which is sad because concert-going is the best way to experience the genre. Classical music is not only an auditory experience but a visual one as well- I love watching how each musician interacts with their instrument while being able to concentrate on the result of that action at the same time. When I was playing in the various orchestras I’ve been a member of, I remember picking up lots of little nuances from the BSO percussionists
