Yes, you read that right, Links I in the title! New stuff has been added, and as an increasing number of my fellow musician friends are at least as net-savvy, Links II is dedicated to them. Some of the links previously listed in the current page have been moved there. Those of you who can't wait, can
For the newcomers: this is an eclectic collection covering some of my interests. No separate categories, this way you get to read all the way to the end. A very extensive piano links collection is maintained by Charles Moss at the "Carolina Culture Connection". Discover everything you always wanted to know about pianos at the Piano Page. Classical music buffs will find plenty of info at the Indiana U. Music Library , Classical Net , and the Virtual Library of Classical Music . Tired of the Usenet? Try Google Groups for the latest gossip, and make sure to check out the newsgroup rec.music.classical. The early thread about weird cadenzas will tell you that all the gossip you heard about me seems to be true somehow... Until the magazine Fanfare gets it own website and archive, you can read the Fanfare interview on this page.
Everyone tries a little egosurfing when nobody is looking. Follow the previous link and check out the neat compilation on Oscar, my hero. And don't forget to stop at the site of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, always nice to hit some chords close to home.
Maybe you're in the mood for some Zappa ! December 98 marked the fifth anniversary of Frank's passing away, but the legend lives on... "The present-day composer refuses to die!" (Varèse, July 1921)
If you thought classical musicians were dull people, surf on over to
the illustrious PDQ Bach!
How about taking some cheap shots at violists? This site was also found by Dave
Barry in Cyberspace, and he and I agree on certain computer operating systems. This is what Apple thinks
of Bill Gates ...
Travelling is part of my life, but no one writes a better travelogue than John Cho , and his SPAMKU archive is definitely worth a visit. Congrats with the paperback SPAMKU collection!
Travel in outer space brings us to TREK and X-files , to mention a few cool sites among too many to list. Search with Open Directory , you may find some official and some more official sites. My fascination with sci-fi extends into being awestruck with real science, check out physics as seen by Larry Krauss , who authored some excellent books (e.g. 'Fear of Physics', and his latest 'Atom'), and who autographed a copy of "The Physics of Star Trek" for me (thanks!).
The Ultimate Feynman Site has found a new home, on the same server as The Tuva Trader. While visiting Friends of Tuva, you will find out about Feynman's fascination with its people and its mesmerizing khöömei or throat singing music. The Chief's last journey, "Tuva or Bust!" written by Ralph Leighton, can be obtained exclusively through FoT. And remember, the Chief is not really gone either, he watches over you!
Back to Larry Krauss... ever thought of a cow as a sphere ? (Don't
have a cow, man !)
Do YOU believe in life on Mars ?...Visit the Tourbus archives and find tons of cool Internet info, also every possible Mars link under the sun (July 17, 97) including the sighting of Life Forms . For pictures of sun flares, info on solar research and earthquakes, take a tour of the Big Bear Solar Observatory, or get the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
Should you decide to visit the West Coast for our Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival, maybe check the website where you can find every possible bit of information on West Coast Weather, Roads and Rivers, and Tsunamis. Guess the Seattle climat has a reputation of its own, and you never know when Mt. Baker will decide to erupt, but TSUNAMIS?

For my fellow Canadians in the Big Apple: the Canadian Consulate General website provides a great way to stay informed about the thriving Canadian community in NY and everything you would possibly want to know as a Canadian expat. EH?
The Asian Network site is back, managed by Yuji Kikutake: Electric Samurai, definitely worth a visit.
