Good morning!
Wednesday, May 6, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller * It’s Jewish American Heritage Month, and I’m going to highlight one of my long-ago music memories. I saw Jeffrey Ross Hyman and Tamás Erdélyi and their band in a small Munich hall in 1980 when I was in college. We were right at the stage’s edge. Life-changing stuff. From that same tour… I can’t control my fingers, I can’t control my brain That Paris audience seems sedate, which wasn’t the case in Munich. * Anyway, what’s going on by you?

Today I just caught that NIU shared a budget status update last week. They say they’ve reduced the $32 million budget deficit from two years ago to $2.8 million, and they’re largely crediting a switch to zero-based budgeting for the improvement. https://tinyurl.com/4rmp22sm

I’ve played that song a few times with a live band and I can tell you that people love that song. It turns into a real singalong toward the end… lotsa fun.

I loved today’s story in the New York Times of a story told by a local priest about Pope Leo’s attempt to change his address at a local bank. To no avail. True or not- it is reported as a as told to story, it is very funny. And relatable.

Fun fact: At one point three out of four members of Metallica (Lars Ulrich, Dave Mustaine, and Cliff Burton) had Ashkenazi ancestry. https://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=2628
