The &#8220;cuteness&#8221; of it is the same if it&#8217;s alone in my head or if I tell a stranger. In fact it would probably be weirder if I tell a stranger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Message: [re:July 24] Did you fix the computer?

Not surprising someone who imparted a spiritual awakening to so many was into a spiritual method.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Message: I&#8217;m curious what has led to your posting so frequently and candidly (and entertainingly)<\/p>\n<p>Me: I&#8217;ve been writing a few years on my website but in June I started pasting it to Facebook.

Why did you write about him?<\/p>\n<p>Me: I was writing about musicians who were uncomfortable with the situation of how Sri Chinmoy played music before a large audience. I was more interested in their response and hostility. No I never studied Sri Chinmoy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Message [re: July 12] Your Italy touring diary is great stuff Bob.

It&#8217;s overwhelming at this point and Leslie simulation has become amazing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Message: [re: July 1] How does this equate when you have spent 40 years researching and writing a libretto and an opera, pay all the performers (orchestra and singers and conductor with a contract they says that the purpose of the gig is to generate a CD) the going rate,\u00a0pay the CD company its 16k and some of the performers STILL want a cut? I say, when I turn a profit AFTER the $40k I&#8217;ve invested (which doesn&#8217;t include ANYTHING for my years of work, btw) we&#8217;ll talk!!!!!<\/p>\n<p>Me: It doesn&#8217;t equate with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Message \u00a0[re:July 26] You know you really really should tell people you are on that song.
