Uncle Dave Lewis lives in a hole in the back of his brain, filled with useless trivia about 78 rpm records, silent movies, unfinished symphonies, broken up punk bands from the 80s and other old stuff no one cares about. This is where he goes to let off a little steam- perhaps you will find it useful, perhaps not. Who knows?

Wrong Translations of Johann Sebastian Bach Cantata Titles

Cantata No. 97, "In allen meinen Taten," BWV 97

"All These Taters are Mine."

Cantata No. 104, "Du Hirte Israel, höre," BWV 104

"You hurt all Israel, whore!"

Clever Daughter

I was working on my annual WCBN premium album, to be titled "Just What the Doctor Ordered" with tired
ears, nothing sounding good. Al was at a Freecycle meeting, and Remy was supposed to be in bed sleeping - I thought she was. But at one point I heard her TV. So I went in, turned it off, and snuggled her to help her go to sleep.

After about a minute, Remy politely asked, "Papa, could you go back and work on your stuff for awhile, and come back when this episode of Teen Titans is over?"
