more on that school stuff

i’m taking a russian literature class. don’t laugh. it’s a survey of russian lit, starting with medieval writing and going all the way to the early 20th century. some of what we’re reading: eugene onegin by pushkin, dead souls by gogol, anna karenina by tolstoy, crime and punishment by dostoevsky, some chekov stories…it’ll be a fun, though perhaps ardous at times, semester. definitely some deep stuff in there. i’m also really excited about my beethoven symphonies class, and especially happy because we’re playing beethoven’s 5th in orchestra for the first concert (with some berlioz peice and the hummel trumpet concerto, for those that care).

in other news, father maple has some exciting shows coming up, first at john brown university on saturday, then a few shows in hot springs at the poet’s loft and the attic, then at juanita’s in little rock (!) and a show with the wedding in fort smith. fun fun times ahead. go see our myspace page for more: www.myspace.com/fathermaplemusic now i have to go get a taco.
