		<description><![CDATA[Here’s a tradition carried over from my old blog. At the end of the year, I make a list of the top moments in my life for that year.

		<description><![CDATA[I get asked sometimes how to compose music. The simplest answer, and the most accurate one, is this: &#8220;Plunk at it until it sounds good.&#8221; You don&#8217;t have to have formal musical training to start composing your own music. What you need is simple: ignorance and killer taste. Ira Glass has a great quote to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nestled unassumingly in the small courtyard outside of the Letterman Digital Arts Center lobby, the Yoda fountain looks as you might imagine: a bronze, pensive Yoda, hands at his sides, standing on top of a rectangular stone surrounded by water. Little waterfalls pour out of shelves in the stone, and between the gurgle of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing sadder to me than the adult who says, &#8220;I used to play the piano. I wish I&#8217;d kept up with it.&#8221; First, you&#8217;re implying that the period in which you could learn has ended, which is patently untrue unless you are dead. Second, you&#8217;ve denied yourself a source of tremendous release, refueling, [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not sure why – maybe the blossoming and blooming of a billion life forms makes more sense set against a jaunty rhythm – but whatever the reason, it&#8217;s been a busy time to be a Martin.

Byron and Melissa are fantastic patrons of the arts, and have done a great deal for ragtime and the music that I love.
