It may seem outlandish to say, but Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wasn’t some stuffy, snooty, highbrow musician in the 1700s. He was a rock star.
While his peers performed and shared music in palatial rooms for the aristocracy and royals, Mozart took his talents to everyone else.
“He was very much what I would call a rock star, a popular musician of his time,” said Los Alamos Community Winds (LACW) Artistic and Musical Director Read More

By SLIM RANDLES
“Moon’s getting big,” Dud said over coffee the other day.
“Sure is,” Herb Collins said.
“Time to go after The Ghost again.”
“Tomorrow night?”
