High Caliber Culture
Sometimes you have to leave academia before you can do the really interesting musicological research. Groucho the parrot is the star of the Birds of the World Show, and I had a second opportunity to interview him — this time on video — at the Texas State Fair. (The podcast from two years ago is here.) Groucho has wowed audiences at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, so finding him in this more casual setting was a real coup.

Professor Carol now offers a complete self-study course covering 300 years of music.
This romp through music history (and many other historical topics) combines 13 hours of DVD video with a 3-disc listening set from Naxos and a 236-page course book.
From the birth of opera to the Leipzig coffeehouses frequented by Bach and Schumann, from the Orthodox cathedrals of Moscow to Tin Pan Alley, from scientific discoveries to bloody revolutions, spooky dramas and shoe styles, Carol chronicles it all with her unique commentary.
