EGADS! This has been around since February and I only just found it? I guess it’s not enough to have a newsfeed subscription to Joe Dan; I’ve got to also check the newsfeed box every now and then. All pre-Corona panic! I’ll paste this to the top of the blog for a few days to make up for it. Take it away, Joe Dan…

Liz Wheeler’s unearthing of buried news. Always odd to hear about what “mainstream media” won’t tell me, since I so rarely see MSM except in mocking video clips online.

Europe Since the 1300s Course
Well, I haven’t been following the Crash Courses, and I haven’t seen Hank Green’s brother for a long time. Nice thing about Hank and the science shows is, except when they wander into PC climate and other ideas, they’re apolitical, as science should be. John’s inclinations are always showing. But this is still a good 6-minute overview. Even if I never watch the rest of the series.

Here’s brother Hank with the Science news. Crazy space stuff and sanitary metal. Isn’t science amazing?

h/t Mary Poppins’ Practically Perfect Piercing on A♠
In 1972, Leopold Stokowski visited Prague to conduct two concerts with the Czech Philharmonic. By now a very frail 90-year-old, the Maestro’s taxing programme (played on two successive evenings) consisted of six of his Bach Transcriptions, followed after the interval by Elgar’s “Enigma Variations” and Scriabin’s “Poem of Ecstasy,” plus a couple of encores. It was recorded ‘live’ in ‘Phase 4 Stereo’ and for the first concert the TV cameras were on hand to capture Stokowski for almost the last time in his long career.
The programme opened with his own transcription of Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor, a work he had first performed and recorded in the 1920s. He had played it many times over the years but this is the last film to show him conducting his most famous Bach arrangement in public.
Stokowski soon gave up concerts altogether, due to his clearly evident frailty, but continued to make records until he was 95. His final studio recording of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor was made with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1974 for RCA / BMG.
