We are meeting on Tuesday

[waits]

I really don’t want to have to do this every week. But we’ve
missed several meetings in a row, so people might have gotten used
to not having the Cantabile Band on Tuesday.

So this week it looks like we will have a critical mass, and
will be meeting on Tuesday, at the usual time (7:45pm) and place
(233 Broadway, Cambridge).

If you haven’t already told me you’re coming, do let me know by
Monday night, so that I can transcribe a new piece with the right
number of parts.

Schedule

We continue to meet on Tuesdays at 7:45pm at 233 Broadway
Cambridge. This is assuming that enough people have told me by
Monday night that they would like to come.

There will not be a meeting on March 1.

So what was the turnout?

[voter]

I’ve been listening to lots of coverage of the New Hampshire
primary results, and nobody has mentioned the turnout. If Trump
and Sanders won by getting people to the polls who would normally
have stayed home, it means a lot more for the rest of the country
than if they won in a small, unrepresentative state by convincing
the normal voters to vote for them.

We don’t really have critical mass for a dropin group any more,
so please let me know if you’re planning to come on Tuesday by
Monday night.

A good dog that didn’t make the exhibition

[ice skating]

I was at the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts exhibition
about Dutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer. I
wasn’t really using my Prado
algorithm for seeing too much art, where I look carefully only
at the pictures with dogs in them. But I couldn’t help noticing
the dogs. There weren’t many in the formal portraits, but the
family pictures and landscapes mostly did have dogs.

There was an album
of watercolors, which was of course open only to whatever page
the curator had picked, but it had a sign that you could see more
on the website. So when I looked, my favorite dog was the one above.
