@revkatebottley @HilaryLowe42 @BBCSoP Have just watched the interview about my beautiful late niece Lizzie Lowe. It was so sensitive, moving and very challenging. We must never forget Lizzie or the reasons why she felt she had no alternative but to take her life. Thank you.

@RealismHelps @KadiatuKM @Jayemgardner I take it you don’t have any understanding on how arts education and especially learning an instrument helps the brain to be able to function better, thus making it easier to learn the core academic subjects. Do go and do some research…the empirical evidence is out there.

Backstage at a concert in 2015 at my children’s school -Trinity in Nottingham. Now plans to drastically cut music and creative arts from this wonderful state school. Protest strike on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Where will the future of music come from?

.@Ayaan is a hero, a staunch fighter against the violent intolerance and bossy control freakery of Islamism. She is also a personal friend of whom I am very fond. When she recently announced her conversion to Christianity, I assumed that she must be no more than a political Christian, regarding Christianity as a bulwark against Islam. I have some sympathy with the view that if you must have a religion at all, Christianity is hugely better than the leading alternative. In Hilaire Belloc’s words, “Always keep a-hold of Nurse for fear of finding something worse.” I agreed to have a public conversation with her in New York, in which I was all prepared to emphasize the distinction between a political Christian and a true believing Christian, who actually thinks Jesus was born of a virgin and rose from the dead. I think the distinction is a really important one. I don’t think a political Christian is a real Christian, any more than the kind of cultural Christian I am myself. When we met on the stage at the Dissident Dialogues meeting in New York, I was wrongfooted when Ayaan began with a personal statement which seemed to suggest that she really is a believing Christian, not just a political Christian. Well, her form of words was “I choose to believe.” I’m not sure what to make of that. Anyways, see what you think; here is the recording of our New York meeting. youtube.com/watch?v=tO1SEF…

@RichardDawkins @Ayaan All religion is damaging and irrational. The Christians have shown themselves to be murderous and discriminating across the globe. It is not noble to be Christian instead of Muslim. All religions must stop. We would all be better off.

@JenniPinnock Well being a string player I would read that as a harmonic and I read that you have also used an ‘x’ elsewhere. Maybe a bigger and bolder X?

Experiencing a spot of semantic satiation from this word. What's the best notehead for a slam?!

When Audrey Hepburn was making her film "Green Mansions", the animal trainer recommended Audrey take home the baby deer so it would learn to follow her on set during the movie (and as needed for her role). Audrey fell in love and napped, shopped, and ate with the doe she named "Pippin" (1958)

@CrossEyedPiano I started off with the recorder and was taught by a bassoon teacher, whose name was Miss Nelson - such a nice lady. I wanted to take up the Bassoon on my transfer to secondary school but a cello was the first bass instrument that became available and 50 years later, here I am…

So much recorder love! It seems that most of you who played recorder at school found it a positive & enjoyable experience - and for many it has brought a love of music or taken you into a career in music/music teaching. So hurrah for the recorder!!
Fran Wilson 🎹🖋@CrossEyedPiano

If you remember this book, please share your memories about learning the recorder at school, playing at home, playing in ensembles etc. Also how it encouraged your interest in music, if applicable (I'm researching an article).

The resurrection of Jesus is the ultimate proof that the liberation of the marginalised & unheard is the gift of those who - absorbing the insults & blows of the powerful but complacent - surrender their futures to stand with the forgotten, and in that dying discover new life!
