Don’t you hate when you write a time-sensitive Facebook post, and then you realize that you had your days mixed up and that you’re actually a week off? That’s precisely what happened to me when writing my appreciation of Richard Strauss to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth on June 11. This is a hazard of working in radio and as a journalist. Everything always has to be ahead.

Anyway, since I’ve already wasted enough time this morning, here’s Owl Jolson.
