Spending today transferring a recording of #PaulMcCartney and #CarlDavis 's #LiverpoolOratorio from tape to CD for the Agèd Ps. This means listening to it to make sure it's a good transfer. Once, recording from tape to computer, again to checks that it's free of pops and crackles caused by my neighbours making phone calls and check the levels. And again to verify that it transferred to CD OK.

It has a few decent tunes and moments of actually good music, but ... ugh.

I really must watch Abel Gance’s Napoleon again, though my telly is too small to do it justice. I'll never forget seeing it at the RFH with Davis conducting his score. A very special occasion.

#Wisconsin’s wealthiest have highest state income tax rate. But add up what they pay in all state & local taxes: it's a smaller share of their income than the rest of us. #FlatTax would widen that gap, #CarlDavis of #ITEP tells @erikgunn.
