Whatever
editWhatever. It's only an encyclopaedia.
- ... and perhaps the most important quote of them all: "This is a community, not a crazy den of pigs." Indeed. It was said a fair while back but is still referred to from time to time.

Today I have two "musicians" on the Main page, one is also the topic of my story, watch and listen, - I like today's especially because you see him at work, hear him talk about his work and the result of his work - rare! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
... and a third, like 22 July but with interview and the music to be played today --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
On 13 August, Bach's cantata was 300 years old, and the image one. The cantata is an extraordinary piece, using the chorale's text and famous melody more than others in the cycle. It's nice to have not only a recent death, but also this "birthday" on the Main page. And a rainbow in my places. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
Today's story is about education, 10 years OTD after lecturing our founder). Music for today's feast is Monteverdi's, the best concert we ever did (so pictured again on my talk), but it wasn't recorded, substituted with a "Pacific" one that comes with subtitles line by line in Latin and English: I learned something! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Sunday story about another of Bach's chorale cantatas, listen, as I listened to two impressive very different choral concerts, - music by 16 composers. In the latest cloudy pictures: a hidden deer, a cat and a blaze of a sunset. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Help? My story today is about a woman, nominated for RD but needing support as I write this. A composer died whose article is long and mostly unreferenced. And some articles open for review, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
ABCT
editSeeing your query about ABCT and their web pages, I have a Linux shell script that collects all their data and stores it in csv-like format. If you let me have an address for e-mail, I'll be glad to share it. Be warned however that it is horribly slow. If you asks very nicely, I could even - for a short while - display my own mail address here. But perhaps there is no need. Kindly from Portugal, Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:17, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fabulous, thank you! I would love to see it. I have emailed you from your userpage ... did that work? Cheers, DBaK (talk) 20:24, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am afraid it didn't. But I cannot even find any email address on my own user page... perhaps due to my own stupidity. Quite likely that the address you found and used is an old one. Anyway, kindly send your message again, to [edited] 123@xyz Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Had a try, thanks. If you get nothing, I failed the assignment! :) DBaK (talk) 22:44, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

- Also ... nosey Q time ... which instrument(s) are you an amateur on, and when you say Fado are you including Mariza???? Cheers DBaK (talk) 20:27, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- instruments are mainly the chromatic accordion, and a little bit of electric bass; plus recorder flutes, and a few more. As for the fado in general and Mariza in particular, I don't think this is the right place to discuss them :) Would go better over a glass of tinto. Jan olieslagers (talk) 20:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
