Foundring - pianist, singer, songwriter, World’s Fastest Anagram Solver - returns to serenade James on his birthday and to astonish him with his insights into the true history of music. On the menu: how to win at Scrabble; did Mozart really write all of Mozart?; why ‘coon music’ isn’t offensive; why ragtime and jazz aren’t ‘black’, plus, a very unexpected answer when James jokily asks the question “Are you MK Ultra?” https://linktr.ee/foundring

The delingpod
For ten years I kept badgering my son to read War and Peace. “It’s possibly the greatest novel you’ll ever read. You’ll love it! It’s a masterpiece,” I promised. And for ten years, he resisted. When finally he did read it, he admitted to me that I was right. “So why didn’t you read it earlier?” I asked. “Because you were so annoyingly enthusiastic about it!”, he replied.
This is why my advice to you is “Don’t listen to the delingpod! It’s boring and it’s rubbish and you’ll hate it!”
