This ubiquitous poster and indicator of substandard Caucasian interior decorating has a disturbing provenance. It was one of a series of three posters created by the British propaganda office during World War II, and the only one never displayed publicly.
“‘The others were ‘Freedom is in peril, defend it with all your might’ and ‘Your courage, your cheerfulness, your resolution will bring us victory.’ The government plastered Britain with those two posters. But it held back ‘Keep calm’ for even more upsetting circumstances.
“‘The plan was, it was to be displayed and it was to go up if Germany ever invaded [Britain].’”
It was actually a call for British citizens to submit peacefully to Nazi rule.

Rehearsal pic from yesterday’s South Dakota Symphony program. We’re playing Six Marimbas here. I played that bass gamelan on the Harrison (the big series of tubes off on the right).
Tesla showroom going in on 25th & 10th.
I was convinced Tesla had broken up…now they have a place in NY?
The Berlin Wall came down 20 years ago today. So…how productive was your Monday?
Cliff Lee and A.J. Burnett are both from Arkansas.
Me too! A.J. didn’t go to Arkansas, though, did he?
Burnett’s official bio lists his College as “N/A”. So…straight from NLR to playing ball for cash.

Happy Halloween!
Play well tonight…it isn’t often that your color scheme is this appropriate.
