It has started: the air this morning is tinged with woodsmoke from the first near wildfire of the season. A wet winter means moire fuel, and this week we're consistently getting over 90°F (32°C), drying it out. It looks to be a rough couple months ahead.
I think I've linked this before, but on its first anniversary it's worth calling out again that I'm really digging the All of Bach project, which is setting out to do exactly what it says on the tin: put up a new free performance of a work of J.S. Bach every Friday till they get through the entire catalog. Today's is the cantata "Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen" (BWV 56), one of the lovelier church works.
Current lullabies rely heavily on "We Shall Overcome" for calming down, followed by "The Wheels on the Bus" extended as long as necessary to carry TBD into sleep -- popular expansion packs include the animals from The Very Busy Spider in reverse order ("The owl on the bus goes whoo whoo whoo"), Romantic era poets ("The Keats on the bus goes beauty is truth" "The Burns on the bus goes auld lang syne"), and the cast of Star Trek ("The captain on the bus goes phasers on stun").
