Dawn on the Edge of Eternity For a photo-journalist, it helps to have sharp elbows; a portraitist--conversational skills; a nature photographer--patience.  Without the preceding qualities, whatever actual talent might exist withers on the vine. And for a landscape photographer? It helps to have a craving for solitude. And it also helps to have lived for several years at the edge of Grand Canyon. At the summer solstice, Grand Canyon sunrises occur just a bit after five; winter, around seven-forty.  I like sunrises.  The air seems gentler, cleaner.  There are few others about.  I feel on the cusp of something special.  The sunsets, I leave

This is an essay.  A gold star to everyone who manages a complete reading "He who wants to understand National Socialism, must first know Wagner"--Adolph Hitler "Every time I hear Wagner, I get the urge to invade Poland"--Woody Allen (Sigh... ) Writing about Richard Wagner (b. Leipzig 1813; d. Venice 1883--and, pronounce the name right, pleeeze:  VAHG-ner) for an audience consisting largely of Weezer mavens and Tolkienites seems a daunting task.  Perhaps it helps to be old.  Except...except, I started listening at 18 (am I correct here?  I do not think of 18 as old) when competitors for my ear included the young-and-in-their-prime Beatle

At the time, it was a revelatory experience.  I can't say that I'd gotten much into "Rock & Roll".  Probably because "Rock", as differentiated from "Rock & Roll", didn't really exist.  Had I paid attention in my early years--up to the 8th grade (1962), age 13--I might have appreciated Buddy Holly; maybe the Everly Brothers; maybe the Ronettes and the Phil Spector sound.  But, to find it meant having to wade thru Elvis, and Bobby Vinton, Leslie Gore, Fabian (Horrors!). The Beatles themselves didn't completely bowl me over tho I certainly paid attention to them.  They made kids really get into music.  Singles were no longer sufficient.  Albums
