They played Bach. Bach lost. (Yeah, it's an old joke.)

Susan Crawford did not have a good time at a Bach concert yesterday. I wouldn't mention it except she writes about it so amusingly.

I'm reminded of a conversation my friend Joe Mahoney had with another friend of mine, Tim Anderson. According to Joe, who is an amazing musician, it went like this:

Joe: Can you imagine? Bach had to write a cantata every week!

Tim: Not only that. He had to write a Bach cantata.

(Joe has a great post from November about the joy of growing up with a son and his son Quentin's manic performacne in "Cinderella." Unfortunately, I can't find the permalink...)
