Early Music aka Historically Informed Music

Ran across a mag called EMAg, " The Magazine of Early Music America" today at Barnes and Noble as I was picking up my Gramaphone
I never heard of it before and was thrilled there even is such a thing.
Absolutely WONDERFUL rag, pure class throughout, covers the entire scene in USA, great reviews and very well written high-level articles .
Some for the musician that a serious listener can grasp with some effort,
and there is nothing but good that comes to one who tries.

Out of Pittsburg , a Quartely, 6$ a pop.
First time in my long life I sat down immediately after first read( there will be several) and mailed a check for a years suscription !

I am not from the Twin Cities and the only reason I live here is I'm a culture vulture and ,all things considered, this is the best place in USA to live for same.

If I HAD to move it would be a coin-toss between Pittsburg and Bloomington, IN .

Al, any Brownsfan can rattle off any number of similarly miraculous plays or series, all of which ended up with the Browns loosing. In addition to the well known Drive and Fumble, you have Red Right 88 and the Dwayne Rudd helmet toss. The list goes on and on.

Len, I'm just not seeing you as a yinzer wannabe. Say it ain't so!

I went to a game years ago between the "Stillers' and Cleveland. All I remember is the drunken fistfights in the stands. This was back when the games were played at the Pitt stadium? Before 3 Rivers, which is now also gone, or so I gather. Pittsburgh, for me, is best captured in the Deerhunter. Yeah, I know it's a pretty depressing movie....

Bill, I root for the Vikes and have since '61 when they were founded . Don't know why, I was in Germany at the time and had never been to MN.
That said, IMO football has descended to a level where I really don't much care about it,much less lose sleep over who wins or loses.

There was a similar mag that Gramophone itself was publishing, named Gramophone Early Music. I have issues 1-4 from 1999-2000, which I found at Tower Records. I never saw any more issues, and had forgotten all about it until I saw this posting. The mag was great in it's coverage of "period informed" Baroque performers. I'll have to look at B & N for this new one, thanks.
