CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides" remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

P. D. Q. BACH: FROM "A CONSORT OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS"

P. D. Q. Bach (1807-1742, LOL!) is the alter ego of composer Peter Schickele, who turned 82 this year. Peter has spent the past five decades performing concerts of PDQ's work, to include "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice," an opera in one unnatural act. The key to this carol is where you place the comma.

P. D. Q. Bach: "Throw the Yule Log on Uncle John"

This is wonderfully clever.

P. D. Q. Bach: "Good King Kong Looked Out"

Wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!

As we enjoy this time with family and friends, we should keep our military men and women - especially those deployed to foreign lands - in our thoughts and prayers. We owe them so much for the freedoms we enjoy, as we do our veterans who have served before. Many thanks to all of them!
