My Morning Post-Dream Ramblings
~overtures, acts, arias, and recitatives
When the old man, a jazz-music composer named Thomas Balzac, wakes each morning he not only practices his “notes” from the night-before, plucking the taunt strings of an old Goya classical guitar, but also he takes in-between breaks in order to “compose” opinions on the latest events in the news, as depicted every morning on the C-Span program, “Washington Journal” which airs every morning beginning at 6 a.m. Central Time.
Here’s this particular morning’s “Notes to C-Span” (which Balzac, later in the day, “transposes” into musical notation). Even today — January 29, 2024 — the, otherwise retired, composer continues to pen the sad notes, primarily in the minor key, of funeral dirges —free of charge to the (mostly elderly) French Quarter victims’ families (the tragic protagonists of his continuing “live opera” titled: “The Great Pandemic of the 21st Century”):
Thomas Balzac: “This easily could have been yet another @Israel-instigated “false flag” attack on #America (as was #USSLiberty). @POTUS should have long ago strong-armed his blood-brother @netanyahu into sending #Israel’s @IDF back to their barracks, else “#0Shekels4urWar!” @JoeBiden @SecBlinken
