Interesting and disturbing indeed. Personnally, it makes me very glad I retired as a teacher this year. Of course, the adminsrators knew prefectly well that I spend weekends as an infantry Colonel in the Confederate army, and I never heard a negative word, but this does give one pause.
By the way, I actually can spell, I just can't type, particularly on an iPad. I'd love to pretend its my calluses getting in the way, but I never could type worth a darn.

I wonder if his retirement has something to do with the suspension.

"See what you went and done, now you've lost your pension!" 

Yes it is... so very sad. Im just learning about it myself (from yall!) and I wonder... has there been much discussion here about the best ways to present the music of the era without pushing any buttons??
