Shakespeare Weekend

The Dramatic Works of William Shakespeare with Notes, original and selected, by Samuel Weller Singer, F.S.A., and a life of the poet, by Charles Symmons, D.D. was published in 1826 by the influential English Printers Chiswick Press. The press was founded by Charles Whittingham (1767-1840) who innovated printing by extracting tar from old ropes. The hemp was pulped for paper and the tar was used to create printing ink. Upon Whittingham’s death, his nephew Charles Whittingham II (1795-1876) took over the operation pioneering a movement towards small, pocket sized, finely printed books at affordable prices.  

Chiswick Press was known for their woodcut engravings and was credited with being the first printer to use proper overlays in printing them. Their devotion to illustration and ornamental lettering earned them a reputation within the printing world and opportunities to publish early works of artists William Morris (1834-1896). The dramatic works of William Shakespeare with Notes, original and selected, by Samuel Weller Singer, F.S.A., and a life of the poet, by Charles Symmons, D.D. is no exception featuring sixty wood engravings by Englishman John Thompson.  

Volumes five through seven of the ten volume collection contain Shakespeare’s history plays chronicling the lives of English Kings and the tragic comedy Trolius and Cressida.

Disraeli: Mary Anne (1.2, ATV, 1978)

"You know, for years, I couldn't stand the sight of you. Cos of your - your rings and your perfumes and your fancy way of dressing. D'you have to be such a cursed dandy?"

"A dandy is not a mere clothes horse. To be a true dandy is to be self-disciplined, detached, even spiritual. It is also a gesture of individuality and a mask, behind which the sneers of the world cannot reach."

"Well, maybe you needed something to hide behind once but... hang it, that's why some of the others still distrust you. They expect their leading statesmen to look the part. Not like some Italian dancing master, what?"

Sadness, fear, and doubt. These are things that many of my incarcerated friends face every day. Prison is a hard place; the challenges are real. But sadness, fear, and doubt follow us in the free world, too. That has been true throughout all of history. Take a look at a few post-resurrection appearances of Jesus which teach us something important...

CHINA MOON (1994) Grade: D+

Very predictable plot. The twist were not anything I havent seen before. Felt more like a TV movie from the hallmark channel.

Tim Brady’s Canadian Classical Invasion

Starkland ST-237 This is Tim Brady’s fourth Starkland release, a distinction shared by only two other composers, the late Tod Dockstader and (the delightfully very much living) Guy Klucevsek. And given the impressive track record of the Starkland label’s ability to find and promote innovative composers and performers who later achieve much wider recognition, this is an event that demands serious…
