In this instance, Telemann has produced his own musical novel. Telemann chooses, however, the errant side of Don Quixote, as an old and crazy man. There was nothing errant about the performance presented by Maestro Maciej Żołtówski, conducting from the harpsichord, and the orchestra. The title of the movements, provided by Telemann himself, were easily evident and, especially in the case of the windmills, given loving and charming nuance.…
Last Thursday’s presidential debate, not surprisingly being called the worst in American history, supplants the first 2020 presidential debate between the same two candidates, also termed “the worst” by some and described at the time as “chaotic,” “painful,” and “dispiriting.” The bar was set pretty low in 2020.

RFK Jr. has not been scrutinized for his opinions, mainly because of his name. Members of his family are angry at his behavior and are supporting President Biden. JFK’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, said: “He’s trading in on Camelot, conspiracy theories, and conflict for personal gain and fame. I’ve listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president.”…
Two trees have been planted on the median strip on Pine Boulevard in memory of Bill and Liz Clark. Bill served as a village trustee and mayor from 1964-1966, and Liz was employed in the Bassett Hospital research department.…
