I have a Google alert for David Mead. It turns out there are a lot of
David Meads.

One that seems popular right now is an Australian football player.

Here's his link:

I'll show you others as they pop up. I remember one working for Volvo
bus and another that was involved in a crime with a couple of his
friends.

I run across the David Mead that writes guitar teaching books fairly frequently when looking up various things. 
I hope our David is doing well.  I see there will be some show activity coming up late April-May.  I hope to hear from some of you who are on his tour path, looks like an east coast-ish plan, south towards north.

Steam train breaks down before reaching Spalding

Watch: A diesel locomotive replaced the broken down Oliver Cromwell


Published Date: 27 April 2009
TRAIN enthusiasts were left disappointed after a special steam train
due to pass through Spalding broke down.
The Oliver Cromwell (locomotive number 70013) was due to go through at
11.41am on Saturday on its way from London King's Cross to Lincoln and
would have been the first Britannia class locomotive to pass through
Spalding for more than 40 years.

Unfortunately when the train was started on Friday a mud hole door
blew meaning it could not be used.

Although it involved only half an hour's simple repair job, the train
needed 24 hours to cool down before the work could be done.

Spalding train enthusiast ***David Mead*** said: "It was
disappointing, but people have to remember that the train is 58 years
old and these things do happen."

UK Rail Tours, operating the trip, said all the passengers still took
the trip and have been offered compensation towards another trip.

SAWBRIDGEWORTH’S Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Guides and Rangers all joined
forces for a special St George’s Day parade through the town.

The 120 youngsters were joined by members of the Sawbridgeworth Air
Training Corps, whose marching band headed up the procession and set
the pace with their music.

Several Beavers had made flags of St George, which they carried with
them to add colour to the occasion.

After leaving from the top of Bell Street, the parade made their way
to St Mary’s church at the other end of the road for a special service
in honour of the saint, who is also the patron figurehead of the
Scouting movement.

The service, attended by town mayor Cllr Joyce Vincent, also raised
cash for the organisation’s chosen charities. The final total is still
being counted.

Sawbridgeworth group leader **David Mead** said: “When the service was
over, the Mayor complimented the children on how smart they looked and
how well they behaved. She said they were a credit to their town.”

April import prices rise as petroleum market strengthens
BY CHRIS DEATON
MAY 13, 2009




The rebounding petroleum market drove a 1.6 percent uptick in April
import prices, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday.

The commodity, whose year-over-year value has halved, gained 15.4
percent for the month, following more modest increases in February and
March. Increasing crude oil and industrial supply prices also
contributed to the import index’s rise.

Petroleum’s upswing accompanies a stock surge that has seen the Dow
Jones Industrial Average rally more than 2,000 points since bottoming
at 6,469.95 in March. Although improved investor confidence briefly
pushed oil above $60 per barrel Tuesday, consumer sentiment remains in
limbo as American suppliers sit on more than 375.3 million barrels of
reserves, according to the Energy Information Administration, the
highest level in nearly two decades.

Allen Good, a stock analyst covering the oil and gas industries at
Chicago-based Morningstar Inc., said that he expects to see those
reserves draw down as the price of oil rises throughout the year. “The
thing with keeping a lot of oil in storage is that it pays,” Good
said, referring to companies that will sell the reserves they cheaply
obtained as the barrel price tumbled last year.

“Now, with the price moving up to $60 a barrel, there’s indication
that you’ll see some recovery later in the year,” he said.

The BLS also reported a 0.5 percent increase in monthly export prices
on rising values for both agricultural and nonagricultural
commodities. Agricultural prices rose 3.6 percent in April, led by
gains for soybeans, corn and wheat. Nonagricultural prices, which
crept up by 0.3 percent, were helped by higher values for fuels and
lubricants.

The uptick in agricultural prices can be traced to a scarce supply of
soybeans overseas, said ***David Mead***, a senior economist with the
International Price Program at the BLS. According to Mead, a dry
soybean crop from Argentina, the world’s third-largest producer,
caused the price to swell. “If there’s a dip in their output, that
puts upward pressure on everyone else” to supply more, he said.

As farmers were faced with higher feed costs, they opted to purchase
corn as a substitute. The increased demand for corn raised its price.
“As far as we’re seeing, corn prices are tied to soybeans,” Mead said.

The year-over-year value of all imports decreased by 16.3 percent, and
total exports fell by 6.8 percent. The next release of the import and
export price indices is scheduled for June 12.

When you think of Johann Sebastian Bach's music, the phrase "musical
comedy" probably isn't the first thing to pop into your head.

However, in the 1730s, the composer wrote music to go along with a
satirical commentary written by Christian Friedrich Henrici (under his
pseudonym Picander). Called the "Coffee Cantata," the miniature comic
opera tells the story of Liesgen, a daughter whose father threatens to
deny her a husband if she doesn't stop her three-cup-a-day coffee
habit, according to Bach program annotator **David Mead**. The clever
daughter agrees to her father's demands, but then makes sure to only
marry a man who will allow her to drink coffee whenever she chooses.

"It's a delightful piece," festival conductor Craig Hella Johnson
said. "This was one of a small number of secular cantatas Bach wrote.
It's the great music of Bach in a light hearted fashion."

On Thursday evening, the cantata will be performed at the Musical
Feast concert at the Leo J. Welder Center as part of the Victoria Bach
Festival. Soprano Catherine Clark plays Liesgen and bass Jeremiah
Drake plays her father, Herr Schlendrian. Also featured are tenor Seth
Lafler, Adah Toland Jones on flute, Paula Bird and Beth Blackerby on
violin, Ames Asbell on viola, Christopher Haritatos on violoncello and
Joey Martin on harpsichord.

Also on the program for the evening are works by composers Felix
Mendelssohn and Franz Schubert.
