How do your kids relate? :^)

I can't agree with Oprah's guest, however I may be in the minority. I would be
hard-pressed to choose just *one* piece of music for myself as a personal
anthem -- probably because I have very broad tastes, and wouldn't want to say
that any one genre in my repertoire is better than any other.
If pressed to choose a rock-and-roll anthem, it would be "Spectral Mornings,"
by Steve Hackett. My jazz anthem would be "His April Touch," by Billy Childs.
For classical music, I would have to choose at least two. My choice for a
solo piano work would be "Gaspard de la Nuit," by Maurice Ravel. My choice for
orchestral composition would be Debussy's "La Mer."

There's a *brand new* building going up on the south end of the Johns Hopkins
University campus which will be named Clark Hall. It's scheduled to open next
summer, I think. As far as I know, there is no other building on the JHU
campus with that name. I'm a bit baffled. Are you a JHU alumna?
