Mozart’s birthday which is really just another of a gazillion reasons to remember to listen to his music. All day on WRTI if you can buzz out the pledge drive banter, course, they must hate doing it themselves. Wolfgang was always broke, begging his dad to send him money and always answering to Leopold over rumors about him.

Qotd– Letter from Wolfgang to Leopold–

“The voice of nature speaks as loud in me as in others…I am able to swear to you that I have never had relations with that sort of female-for if such a thing had occured I would not have concealed it from you.”

potd by Jan Carroll

A gray damp Sunday turned into a fab afternoon at the rehearsal of KYLDancers at CHI Dance studios that really has turned into a haven for dancers and independent companies in Philly. Dancer-choreographer Kun-Yang Lin and his partner Ken were directing Kun Yang’s dance company internationally from there NY base, when they decided to relocate. Lin was also teaching at Temple and he decided to establish his company here. The couple put off trying to adopt a baby and used their savings to to buy and convert a building on S. 9th St. for their studio/performance space. They will make great parents, meanwhile they are welcome gay godparents to the dance community in Philly.
