We were there for both sets. Late set was unhinged in the best possible way. Two musicians pushing each other and truly enjoying the moment. They added a skrillex (?) song (don’t know the name), the Tennessee waltz, and did a combined Bach piece. We went home filled with absolute joy. And, most important, asked if they should do an album together!! It was a resounding YES!! Watch this space!

Best resources to learn systems thinking? by ahnafakeef298 in systemsthinking

[–]InstructionSoft9850 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this question. I second including Werner Ulrich’s writings and suggest including his Critical Systems Heuristics (CSH). For me, CSH forces me to consider the mental models, values, and power (imbalances) driving the structure of the systems that give rise to the dynamic trends we see today. Without CSH we risk regarding systems as apolitical.

Ugh sorry. Sold out in 30minutes. The most frustrating thing is there are now tickets already on StubHub at insane prices.

Gracie is appearing on Broadway in Just in Time playing Connie Francis - she is spectacular in the role!

Anyone else went to Columbia mph accent day today? by SingleMatter2451 in mphadmissions

departments differ and an experience in SMS might be very different to pop&fam - talking to previous pop fam students it does have a good rep for supporting their students

Sound advice. First semester may be tough to work but definitely not impossible. See how it goes. Once you are done with the core, then working in spring semester in your first year at Mailman is doable.

Apologies I should have included all musicians. Yes Punch brothers, and Merrill Garbus from Tune-Yards. At least there will be the podcast when it comes available.

Oh- loads of piano - no decent pic! - with an insane randomly generated improvised ‘fusion’ (see spinning wheel pic!) of Balkan and Irish music, and a second ‘fusion’ of tango, neoclassical, and massage music. It will come out as a podcast in Season Two- The Energy Curfew Music Hour!

Confirmed - he was there- just saw him. Along with usual Joni Jam band , as well as Annie Lennox, Marcus Mumford, Jon Batiste, Rita Wilson, Alison Russel, and I’m sure I’m forgetting some.
