 gumsuckers (or, gum-suckers) march by percy grainger music review

“Gum-Suckers” is a somewhat humorous nickname for Australians from the state of Victoria. During the very warm summers, these people would refresh themselves by sucking on the blades from the Eucalyptus trees native to that region. Pianist and writer Joseph Robert Smith wrote the following concerning Grainger and such titles: "The general public is not aware of the sophisticated musicianship of his music, while the celebrated tastemakers are not generally attracted to pieces with such titles as The Gum-Suckers."

This march is the fourth movement from Grainger’s In a Nutshell Suite, a work originally for orchestra that was arranged for band in 1942.

Music Critic Department:

 Roz Chast --------------------------------------------------------------- a very  HOPPY STORY  for Easter 🐰🐰🐰🐰 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ (special advice column contribution) How to Be a Happy 85-Year-Old (Like Me) April 13, 2025, By Roger Rosenblatt & Tommy Shelby Mr. Rosenblatt is the author of “Rules for Aging.” Tommy Shelby is a complex dude in Pinky Blinders. Roger: In 2000, I published a book called “Rules for Aging,” a sort of how-to guide for navigating the later years of one’s life. I was 60 at the time and thought that I knew a thing or two about being old. Twenty-five years later, I just finished a sequel, which reflects my advice for growing very, very old. (I have been doing a lot of that lately.) It took me 85 years to learn these things, but I believe they’re applicable at any age. 1. Nobody’s thinking about you. It was true 25 years ago, and it’s true today. Nobody is thinking about you. Nobody ever will. Not your teacher, not your minister, not...

  well, today here at ELDER HOSTILE we had some excitement on the working floor.  emergency delicate C-section surgery was performed on  our employee who works as a contracted & hourly basis in the airfreight transportation department.  it was totally unexpected but something we had to do; there were no alternatives left for us.  she was fully dilated and making a racket "cheep, cheep, cheep" for four hours of full-throated non-stop labor.     All's well that ends well though.  Here is Clara in recovery at 1:02 pm with her new brood of 3.  They are thriving & ready to tackle climate change, the poison around them, and the asshole homo sapiens out there creating it.  Life is a miracle, eh? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ here at ELDER HOSTILE, our crack research team has come up with a new Homo sapiens evaluation spectrum to add to the myriad of spectrums now in use here in the first quarter of the 21st century.  who thou...
