Those Wacky Nephilim

Sofia Gubaidulina has been on my list for years.  Today finally I listened to The Canticle of the Sun, composed only 8 years ago.  I don't exactly like it yet, but I know it's going to grow on me.  The London Voices provide the singers, and Mstislav Rostropovich leads the list of instrumentalists ... but what's this?  Simon Carrington plays percussion?  The King's Singers guy?  Can he do that?

Meanwhile, "Zondervan Releases ‘The Revealing,’ the Final Book in the “Nephilim Trilogy” by Christian UFO Cult Expert Dr. L.A. Marzulli" which features...
a secret hospital wing for alien abductees in Los Angeles, to demonic possession, shape shifting, Area 51, the Merovingians, the 1917 Fatima Apparition, Machu Pichu, crop circles, Nazi death camps, and the death of the Pope, the trilogy has mesmerizing ideas, a dynamic, fast-paced plot, and enough government conspiracy theories to please the most demanding sci-fi, paranormal and Bible prophecy fan alike.
Hoo boy!  The press release wants you to know the books have Nephilim.  Also, Nephilim.  And it mentions the Nephilim, which include Nephilim, plus Nephilim.  But where are the Masons?  You gotta have Masons.  Some number-mysticism and beanophobia would be nice, too.

In one of my highlights at WUOM, I prodcued the nationaly distributed Kings Singsers 25th Anniversary program. It was recorded in Hill auditorium. Simon Carrington and Alistair Hume were both the last original members of the ensemble and were retiring from the group that year. All six members of the ensemble came up to the studios for interviews. They were all most pleasant, humble, kind, fascinating, ..... I could go on. Great performers but more important Great people.... sigh.... I guess there are a few Wobegon days to remember fondly.
