I wait until close to showtime. We saw The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney both for less than $100/ticket with all fees included. If you are jumping on these Presales you are paying too much.

That don't make a lick of sense to me. Especially considering his work crossed the turn of the century and that the Gymnopedies were composed in the 1800s. Seems foolish to label a style of music by year created. Can you give examples of other composers and works labeled "Contemporary?" Simply googling "contemporary classical composers" gives me 40 some musicians of varying schools and styles, most of whom are still alive today; the list does not include Erik Satie.

Most elementary schools keep all of their old yearbooks - I wonder if you could give JB Fisher a call and arrange a time to pop in to sift through old copies.
If you grew up with Ukrops, obviously the grocery store itself has long gone, but they have a Market and Food Hall close to the University of Richmond.
Edit: there’s a richmond_before_now Instagram page that might be able to help too - he indicates the pictures themselves are from 2003-2016, but could possibly serve as a resource to bring back old memories.

Word is that he was asked to resign at Carlyle because he wasn't effective. He couldn't stay off he wanted to

It was Jean-Jacques’ Bakery. They are (sadly) closed now. We currently do not have a European patisserie in town that I know of anymore, but you’ll find really good croissants at Sub Rosa in Church Hill.

My view is that returning to Carlyle or a similar situation after having been governor increases his value and connections greatly.

Especially Number 1. It always sounds sad to me though.

I believe it was a double suicide actually. Due to Sirius financial troubles.

Contemporary in the classical subgenre sense. Anyone 20th century and up is deemed to be Modern/Contemporary classical music.
I went to school for classical music and took a buncha classes that focused on 20th century composers for music theory and musicology. I know waaaay too much about this shit.

OMG, love that piece. Satie is one of my favorite contemporary composers.

That could be, yeah. Sounds like we're both fuzzy on the details but recall the same similar thing.

In the Omni? That’s the memory I have but I haven’t been down there in years and my memory is getting faultier daily.

Basically the entire Decemberists catalogue but especially A Record Year For Rainfall.
I’ve been traveling over the past week, SF to Seattle to Minneapolis back to Richmond and it was ~40 degrees and raining everywhere I went. I’m over it.
