Hello everyone, and welcome to the word of the week! I hope that this
week's word does not describe you as we head into the joyful time of
presents and candy canes (oh, yeah, and the birth of Saviors and
whatnot). You'll probably be seeing quite a lot of people as the
holiday festivities begin, so I expect that you will use this word even
more than normal in your everyday conversations. Here it is: sad and
sorryEx: Because nobody bought her presents for Christmas, the woman
went to the store and stole gifts for herself. This caused her to be
arrested, and she had a very luctiferous Christmas.
And now, this week's random fact, which is about a composer whose music
I am currently learning:
In February 1935, violinist Fritz Kreisler confessed that he had been
hoaxing the public for thirty years. For most of his career, he said,
he had been performing violin selections which he claimed were composed
by such masters as Vivaldi, Couperin, Porpora, Pugnani, and Padre
Martini - but which he had actually written himself. He said he felt
that audiences paid closer attention to his music when they thought it
was by some famous dead composer.
Alrighty, folks, have a spectacular week, and be sure to listen to the
first episode of my music podcast, Ears to Hear, which will be released
in the middle of this week. I'll be back with more wonderful wordage on
the night before Christmas...
Fondest regards,Dr. J
