Podcast appearances and mentions of William Bennett

Send us a textKen welcomes Washington political commentator, speechwriter, and author Peter Wehner. Pete is a contributing writer at The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Trinity Forum. He is well known for his prolific contribution to the intersection of politics, public policy, and faith. Early on, he identified as a conservative, a Republican, and an Evangelical. From 2011, when Donald Trump campaigned to challenge the legitimacy of the Obama Presidency, suggesting that he was born in Kenya and not the U.S.A., Wehner has called out the danger of a Trump presidency. Pete has been a stalwart in opposing Donald Trump and in the process, he no longer identifies as a Republican or an Evangelical. He remains a traditional conservative. However, he has offered a powerful and sustained critique of evangelical support for Donald Trump and a Republican Party that has become subservient to the newly elected President. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson played a key role in that transition. Ken and Pete have a lively discussion over his early years as a new Christian, his college career, the influence of his scientist father, his move to Washington, Reagan's speech after the Challenger disaster, George Bush's 9/11 speech (Pete was in the White House that fateful day), and finally Donald Trump's complete take-over of the Republican Party and his return to the White House for a second term.

Lora Logic in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.essential-logic.co.uk/ https://essentiallogic.bandcamp.com/ fter co-founding X-Ray Spex, Lora Logic formed Essential Logic in 1978, shaping post-punk with unique sax, whimsical melodies. Their 1979 album, 'Beat Rhythm News,' stood out. After a long hiatus, Essential Logic returned in 2022 with 'Land of Kali.' Essential Logic are an English post-punk band formed in 1978 by saxophonist Lora Logic after leaving X-Ray Spex. The band initially consisted of Lora on vocals, Phil Legg on guitar and vocals, William Bennett (later of Whitehouse) on guitar, Mark Turner on bass guitar, Rich Tea (Richard Thompson) on drums and Dave Wright on saxophone. Turner was later replaced by Sean Oliver (later of Rip, Rig & Panic) on bass. The band split in 1981 and reformed in 2001.

150 Years Ago (February 1874) Ingersoll Lockwood, the 6-foot-4 former U.S. consul to the Kingdom of Hanover [which became part of Germany in 1871] and the nephew of Cold Spring resident Nicholas Smith, spoke at the Baptist Church about women's faces, both ancient and modern, to benefit the Sunday School. William Garrison, who represented Philipstown on the county Board of Supervisors, proposed that the town be split so it would have two representatives. He noted that, with six supervisors, the votes were often ties, and that Philipstown had a third of the county population but only a sixth of the vote. The pastor of the Baptist church, the Rev. Benjamin Bowen, wrote a long letter to The Cold Spring Recorder in which he offered to pay the salary of the highest-paid teacher in Philipstown for one year if anyone could show him in the Bible a mention of infant baptism (which Baptists do not practice), or where someone had received communion before being baptized, or any documentation of infant baptism before the middle of the third century. While Charles Warren was delivering milk, someone stole $10 [about $250 today] from the cash box on his wagon. Alfred Little painted advertising "business charts" at the post office and railroad station with notices for 13 local merchants and mechanics. While walking on the railroad track at Constitution Island, Arthur Naylor of B Street saw a fox walk out of the woods. He drew his revolver and fired; the trophy was on display at Mosier's oyster and fish store on Market Street. Bernard Daley of Kemble Avenue lost a pig when it was struck by the No. 7 express train. Bystanders with buckets filled at a nearby municipal pump managed to contain a fire at Mrs. McArthur's newsstand on Main Street. S.B. Truesdell was circulating a petition to ask the state to extend the ban on shooting robins from Aug. 1 to Oct. 1, to allow the birds more time to mature. The Recorder reported that, after a snowball fight in Nelsonville got out of hand, a boy complained to his father. The father confronted the first boy he encountered, which resulted in a lawsuit. A farm dog belonging to B.A. Yonmans that followed the horses to church was found dead the next day in the churchyard. It was supposed he had been poisoned. The Recorder reported that 8,100 men, 1,375 boys, 581 horses and 41 steam engines were employed along the river securing the ice crop. One crew managed to get 2,700 cakes into an ice house in a single day. Thomas Avery and William West of Cold Spring, who had announced they would embark on the manufacture of paper bags in the village, were dissuaded by the high rents and instead leased a structure in Fishkill that was built to order. The Wappingers Chronicle claimed that it was common to see men walking in Cold Spring stop suddenly, place their hands on their knees and groan. In response, The Recorder noted that "Cold Spring whiskey is stronger than that to which some visitors are accustomed." The county school commissioner condemned the District 8 schoolhouse and estimated it would cost $800 [$20,000] to build a new one. William Bennett of Nelsonville lost several toes after a 500-pound casting fell on his foot. Members of the Ladies Aid Society and the Presbyterian Church held a masquerade with cakes and coffee at the West Street home of William Coleman. 125 Years Ago (February 1899) At 10 p.m. on a Wednesday, young men walking the tracks from Garrison came upon four teenagers, ages 13 to 15, crying from hunger and cold. One of the boys told Officer McCaffrey that they had been playing at the freight yard near their homes at 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue in New York City when they climbed aboard a freight car for a ride to Spuyten Duyvil. But the train was going too fast for them to jump off and they had to wait until it stopped at a switch near Garrison. The Recorder noted that a bill had been introduced in the state Legislature to allow women to vote in villages and towns concerning matters of tax...

Adam has been re-reading David Keenan's historical biography on the rise of Industrial Music, England's Hidden Riverse, after it was re-published with extended material over the summer. That book primarily looks at the rise and legacies of Coil, Nurse with Wound, and Current 93 (and suspiciously, only passingly mentions Douglas Pearce and Death in June.) There is also, however, a plethora of material dedicated to William Bennett and what led the British artist to create the pioneering power electronics project Whitehouse. Formed by Bennett in 1980 and joined by Philip Best in the '80s and Peter Sotos in the '90s, Whitehouse developed both the sound (throbbing bass, ear searing and abused synths, washed out white noise, brutal and screamed vocals) and content (power, abuse, serial murder, war crimes) of the style that we now call power electronics. Though PE has since given us several iconic artists and acts — Con-Dom, Grey Wolves, Genocide Organ, and Ramleh among them — there is still something about the conceptual rigor, thematic depth, and historical mythos of Whitehouse that makes the group an enduringly fascinating area of study. To discuss the legacy of Whitehouse as well as the philosophy and history of industrial music, Adam and Will converse with friend and noise musician Xylon Genesis Otterburn, back for the second time on the show.

You can't talk about confidence artists and their games without talking about one of the classics: the shell game. It's been called a lot of things over the decades, and during the time and place we're going to visit in this episode, it was 'thimblerig'. It's often portrayed as a gambling game, but it's actually a con used to fleece unsuspecting bettors. Samuel Bennett was one of the best-known 'thimbleriggers' – perhaps ever, depending who you ask – and he made a fortune scamming passengers on steamboats along America's waterways in the 19th century.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm pleased to share this podcast with Daniel Pailthorpe, Co-Principal Flautist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. We had a fascinating discussion about his musical journey growing up, parallels between flute playing and singing, solo performances, what it's like playing for one of the top symphony orchestras in the country, performing at the BBC Proms and Royal Albert Hall (including a memorable concert involving the then five members of Monty Python!), tone production and vibrato. Podcast interview recorded 26 September 2022 at Daniel's home in Richmond, London; Daniel's additional commentary about tone production and throat tuning recorded 12 November 2022; podcast released 16 November 2022. Due to some digital noise when I started recording, here's also what he said when I asked him about his musical journey growing up: "I actually don't come from a particularly musical family. My father loved music but was not a trained musician at all. Bach was his passion and he transferred that to me. It was just a very pure love of music without having an instrument but they very much encouraged me in my music, took me to concerts. It so happened that both of my godparents who they chose when I was born were both very keen musicians and so they helped to introduce me to the world of music."

Podcast intro and outro music by Helena and Annabelle Lee. Podcast edited by Joe Eftihiou, additional edits from Daniel Pailthorpe and Annabelle Lee. One of the few orchestral principals of international standing who plays on a modern wood flute, Daniel Pailthorpe has gained a world-wide following for the uniqueness and breadth of his sound as well as the warmth of his musicianship. As co-principal flautist of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Daniel is regularly heard on BBC Radio 3 and at the Proms. He features prominently on the BBCTV 'Symphony' series and is a familiar face on the Last Night of the Proms. Together with his wife Emily Pailthorpe and the pianist Julian Milford, he founded the London Conchord Ensemble. The group has rapidly gained an international reputation, performing in some of the world's most prestigious concert series. His recordings, ranging from Poulenc to Bach and George Crumb, have enjoyed many accolades, among them Sunday Telegraph's CD of the week and Classic FM's CD of the month. Singing featured prominently in Daniel's musical training: he began as a choirboy aged six, was a finalist in the UK Chorister of the Year competition, and went on to become a Choral scholar at Clare College, Cambridge. After a year of postgraduate study at the Royal Academy of Music, Daniel was the recipient of the Leonard Bernstein Fellowship at the Tanglewood Music Centre, USA. His flute studies took him to Paris and America and his teachers include William Bennett, Derek Honner, Gaston Crunelle, Thomas Nyfenger and Geoffrey Gilbert. He has gone on to be much in demand as a guest principal with many orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. He is one of London's most sought-after session musicians, featuring on the soundtracks for many films. As a teacher Daniel has been a coach for the National Youth Orchestra and is a Professor of flute at the Royal College of Music. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talking-classical-podcast/message

Deadly Treasure: First Assignment: Enemies Within by William BennettNavy Captain Jim Shepherd spearheads a pilot program to fight terrorism on a global front through a black-on-black operation paradigm. Their enemies are not just foreign nationals, but men and women in their own administration, working with terrorists abroad to attack America. Jim and his team fight against great odds to uncover a plot to put key people in power in America who will serve this new terrorist organization. Bill Bennett served as a pastor for 37-years, taught U.S. History and English, served as a special deputy sheriff (marine search and rescue, lake patrol, shore patrol in Indiana), and currently serves as Director of Education, Family Visitation Center Program Director and teaches at Grace Resources, Inc. in Lancaster, CA. Married 44-years, he and Cathy have three children, all grown and married, and at present, eight grandchildren.https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Treasure-Assignment-Enemies-Within-ebook/dp/B09YGC6RL2/ref=sr_1_1?crid=6IJSC71D8X9H&keywords=9781648958069&qid=1650650674&sprefix=9781648958069%2Caps%2C836&sr=8-1http://www.Stratton-Press.comhttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/82522sp3.mp3    

Bill Bennett was widely criticized for claiming on Fox News last week that the root cause of mass shootings is spiritual. The fact that our secular media reacted so strongly to that statement is evidence that he's right. 5) Former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe assassinated; 4) Megadrought causing political headaches over water us in American West; 3) Strategic Petroleum Reserve oil sold to Chinese government-owned oil company linked to Hunter Biden; 2) William Bennett identifies spiritual cause of gun violence; 1) Record-low 20% of Americans believe Bible is the literal word of God.

Among the many Jesuits who have left their mark on Gonzaga, a name that comes up a lot from students during the mid 1950s and 60s was Fr. Anthony McHale, SJ, (1920-2006). From 1955-1967, Fr. McHale was the revered headmaster of Gonzaga. When he passed in the Fall of 2006, it was clear from the notes of appreciation sent to the alumni office how special he was, and we share a portion of the remembrance from Glen Slocum '59 in S1E22. Next up previous podcast guests (S1E19) Michael Dolan '68 and Paul Warren '68 share their recollections of Father McHale. But the main part of our visit this week, is with Bill Bennett '61. The former Secretary of Education has vivid memories of Father McHale. How did Bill sum up Fr. McHale, the man? And how did Bill's interactions with Fr. McHale shape him into the public servant he became? Bennett also shares fond memories of his time on Eye Street: the challenging course load, the legendary homework, (one memorable role in a play), sports and more. After laboring at Gonzaga, everything academically for Bennett seemed easy, even Williams College, and Harvard Law School. Eye Street has changed a lot since the days of Headmaster Fr. Anthony McHale, SJ, and over sixty years ago, when a young Bill Bennett walked the halls, but McHale's impact still ripples today. During our visit, I quote the June 1985 Washington Post series Elsa Walsh did on Gonzaga. If you would like to read more (including her quotes from Bennett about Fr. McHale) use this link. Another student who was a contemporary of Bill Bennett was the late Pat Conroy. The prolific writer shared his encounters with Fr. Anthony McHale with such beautiful prose in his book "My Losing Season." An excerpt from the book appeared in the Washington Post in December of 2002, that I was moved to read, find whole excerpt at this link. As Gonzaga celebrates 200 years, God Bless the work done by Jesuits like Fr. Anthony McHale, and God Bless Gonzaga!

Leadership means different things to different people around the world, and different things in different situations. For example, it could relate to community leadership, religious leadership, political leadership, and leadership of campaigning groups. The dictionary version of leadership is “to lead a group of people or an organization.” It's creating and planning, securing resources, and looking out for and improving errors. Leadership is about motivating people to work together and to achieve a certain goal. In today's episode, Effective Leadership, I will be joined by Mr. William Bennett, a true entrepreneur and talent acquisition professional. In our discussion today I hope that you are provided a solid snapshot of what leadership looks like.

Episode 47 April 24, 2020 CLP Topic Category: Democrat Police State Socialism. Shutting Up The Democrat Socialists Shut Down Nazis. Introduction. Our podcast today is titled, Shutting Up the Democrat Socialists Shut Down Nazis. We begin with a recent quote from a shut down Nazi named Susanne Donahue Gray, telling a small business to shut down: Susannne Patricia Donahue-Gray, on LinkedIn “I am sorry but I have to tell you. You guys need to close. You are not an essential business and you are passing germs with the virus. Do you want us all to die? Close the                fuck down, Mother Fuckers.!!!" Our podcast takes issue with the premise of Glenn Beck's recent book, Arguing With Socialists. Beck begins his book with his premise that “all Americans agree on goals.” Beck writes, “All Americans want to send their children to high-quality schools. We all want a lower-cost health care system that works. We all want an increased standard of living and better job opportunities. And we all want to live in peaceful, stable communities. don't forget that in most cases, Americans agree on the problems we face, it's the proposed solutions to the problems that divide us. We all agree that America has a long way to go before it reaches its full potential. On that point, we all stand firmly on common ground.” We disagree with the premise that socialists agree with conservatives about the mission of the Nation. The attitude of Shut Down Nazis is captured by the quote above, “Close the Fuck Down, Mother Fuckers.” Instead, we believe that the ideological differences between shut down socialists and conservatives are irreconcilable and that conservatives must prepare for what comes after the conservatives realize that arguing with socialists is useless. We use the case of the Democrat shut down rhetoric to make our case about the futility of arguing with the socialists. The ultimate outcome of arguing with socialists can be seen in what happened to both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Both denominations let socialists begin preaching the social gospel, and not  the gospel of Jesus. After 20 years of arguing with the socialists about the meaning of Jesus, both denominations finally concluded that nothing changes the behavior of socialists because the socialists are intransigent and intolerant of any opinion, other than their own. In other words, the shut down Nazis are totalitarians. They are the fifth column of the political forces in America that are intent on imposing global socialism on conservatives.  One of the worst parts about any dialogue with socialists is that they are smarmy arrogant people and have a unshakable moral arrogance that they are always right. This arrogance makes them act out in rage when they do not get their way. Both churches split into two parts, a traditional part that follows the gospel of Jesus, and the socialist part that preaches the social gospel of global socialism. We argue that the divorce in both churches provides a model for the divorce between the socialist shut down Nazis and natural rights conservatives. Beck's argument is weak because Beck offers no political resolution to the irreconcilable differences between socialists and natural rights patriots, other than continuing to argue with them.. Beck fails to acknowledge that Madison's constitution has a fundamental logical flaw that leads to endless do-loops about the mission of the nation. Some days, Madison's more perfect union means that Black slaves could not be considered citizens and that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories of the United States. Some days, a more perfect union means that racial segregation, and the ensuing 70 years of racial apartheid, was constitutional, as long as the segregated facilities for Blacks were equal in quality to those of Whites.  Determining what is “More perfect” depends on who sits on the Supreme Court. Michael Schulson, in his article, “The Peril of State Power Amid COVID-19 Pandemic,” points out the Supreme Court can as easily use the government police power to both compel obedience to a vaccine, as to compel involuntary sterilization of Black people. Schulson cites the case of Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which addressed the constitutional issue of how democratic societies respond to the profound threat of highly virulent pathogens, like Covid, while staying democratic. In that case, Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote for the majority.           "On any other basis, organized society could not exist with safety to     its members. There are manifold restraints to which every person is           necessarily subject for the common good.” This would be the argument today of the shut down Nazis. Several years later, the Supreme Court cited their decision in Jacobson as precedent for their decision in Buck v. Bell, in 1927, that upheld a Virginia eugenics law permitting the forced sterilization of Black people thought to have intellectual disabilities. Writing for the majority, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes cited Jacobson in stating,           "Society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing           their kind (uppity Blacks)…The principle that sustains compulsory           vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian tubes." In North Carolina, the decision in Buck granted the state Democrats the power to sterilize 50,000 blacks, against their will. The forced sterilization in North Carolina ended in the 1970s. The term used by white Democrats in North Carolina to describe insane blacks, scheduled for sterilization, was uppity. This is the same logic used today by the Democrat shut down Nazis, that the re-open protestors are insane and selfish because they want to infect other people. In Jacobsson, Buck and Covid Nazis today, their logic is that Constitutional rights can be overridden by emergency orders in the interest of public safety. Which brings us back to the argument that Constitutional rights mean whatever the Court say they mean. As Kenneth Arrow's Impossibility Theorem explains, Madison's Preamble did not connect the mission of the Constitution to the principles of government declared in the Declaration of Independence. The recursive proposition in Madison's logical flaw is that a “more perfect union” can mean anything, at any time, depending on what the majority of the Supreme Court decides that more “perfect union” means at that time. The danger to liberty that results from Madison's logical flaw means that socialists do not ever have to agree with conservatives about the mission of the nation. The socialist interpretation of a more perfect union is as equally valid as the natural rights interpretation. Sterilizing uppity Blacks is as equally valid as the lock down rules. In the absence of a national goal in the Preamble, it is impossible to resolve the conflicts under Madison's representative republic. (Who Is It In America That Is Responsible For Implementing the Trade Agreements With China?) Voters have no method of choosing nationalism over globalism under Madison's two party, first-past-the-post political system. The nation will continue to recursively fluctuate in a system that leads to chaos. All the socialist have to do is promote mail-in ballots, and win total control over the lives of conservatives, as the two globalist health experts did in promoting the Covid shut down.  “Do you want all of us to die?” asks Donahue-Gray, a shut down Nazi, intent on imposing her views on conservatives. “Then, stay the fuck at home.” Or, in response to William Bennett and Seth Leibsohn's article “Coronavirus Lessons: Fact and Reason vs. Paranoia and Fear,” another shut down Nazi claims that the “The fools who wrote this should be tried for attempted homicide by disinformation.” The statements by shut down Nazis about Covid underscores the fundamental differences about the mission of the nation and belies Beck's idea that arguing with the shut down Nazis will change their behavior. We argue that conservatives are in a constitutional crisis with shut down Nazis over individual freedom, and that Madison's flawed representative republic does not provide conservatives with a method to modify or abolish the contract. We begin our argument with the observation that in the last week of March 2020, there were two possible government responses to Covid. If the agents in government viewed citizens in their capacity as individual rational beings, the correct response of the CDC and Surgeon General would have been to issue warnings to citizens to wash their hands and avoid crowded areas. If the officials in government viewed citizens in a collectivist group identity perspective, they would issue orders to lock the citizens down, because the central tenet of global collectivism is that the “experts” know better than the citizens themselves how to pursue the public purpose. The lock down Nazis won a significant victory in their silent coup to convert the nation from an individualistic society to a communal collectivist society, without ever firing a shot. The lock down Nazis promote the public relations panic about Covid death rates, and believe themselves morally superior to tell other citizens not to disobey agents of government. (“Close the Fuck Down. Mother Fuckers.”) There is overlap between the fifth column of lock down Nazis and the Democrat voters that favors mail-in ballots, and oppose voter ID. The correct title of this group is anti-democratic totalitarians. In totalitarian societies, there is only one official version of the truth, and all other opinions must be eradicated. The lock down Nazis, also known as Karen, are the foot soldiers in imposing the official globalist version of the truth. When Zuckerberg, and FaceBook, shut down Reopen protest groups because of “misinformation,” he was enacting 1984 doublespeak. It was not “misinformation” that Zuck disliked, it was content that did not support his totalitarian views of globalism. The lock down Nazis are everywhere, including my tiny home community of Sunset Beach, N. C., where they have been successful in closing access and parking to the beach, and unleashing the police to enforce the emergency rules. Jacqueline Trovato is the lead shut down Nazi and has her own FaceBook page with 370 members. In response to the Reopen NC protest in Raleigh, she wrote,           “Can you understand now why we don't want people from Raleigh           here? This is so disturbing. The good people who are staying home           and safe in Raleigh are going to be infected now when they go the           stores. Activities like this will only prolong the suffering. The protest   is allowed as long as protestors follow social distancing rule. They           aren't. Her husband, Jim Thomas, an attorney, added,           “They do not have the right to protest in violation of distancing rules!           When did everyone start ignoring the law???” Jim's logic is easy to understand, an executive order, for him, has the same force as a law passed by the General Assembly, or a provision of the Constitution.   Except that North Carolina and Sunset Beach are governed by a system of separation of power and checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches, not a police state regime. The Governor of North Carolina used the Covid extended duration of time to seize power, that is different than the shorter duration of a hurricane or civil riot. The Governor's order is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the Governor, who both makes the law, as he goes along in an extended period of time, and enforces the law that he makes. Sunset Beach, N. C. has a total population of 4000 citizens and 19 police officers, for a ratio of one officer per 210 citizens. The national average ratio for towns less than 25,000, is 1 officer per 600 citizens. In collaboration with the Governor's unconstitutional seizure of power, the overbearing police state presence in Sunset Beach bolsters the shut down Nazis in their desire to lock down the citizens. Our podcast uses the arguments of the lock down Nazis to provide three perspectives of American citizens in the Covid battle, all of which support our conclusion that conservatives must divorce the socialists. The first perspective of citizens is the global leftist perspective of conservatives, which is based upon group identity politics and the pursuit of social justice. In their minds, the re-open patriots are terrorists for showing up at protests with guns. We argue that unless conservatives understand how lefties view them that the full realization of how dangerous they are will not be gained. Our second perspective is how the left's perspective of conservatives affects the self-perspective of natural rights conservatives. Conservatives have been co-opted by the language and tactics of socialists. We argue that unless, and until, the conservative movement breaks free of the leftist mindset that they will become useful idiots in the coming socialist slavery. Finally, we argue that the correct perspective for viewing the Nation's mission begins with a restoration of the principles of Locke and Jefferson about the function of government in a natural rights republic. We conclude that the advice given to conservatives in our book A Civil Dissolution: Solving America's Intractable Problem of Socialism provides a better way to deal with the lock down Nazis than the banal advice of Beck about continuing to arguing with them. Madison's Constitution is not doing its job, and the natural rights of citizens are being destroyed by the consolidated, centralized, tyrannical power of political elites in Washington, aided and abetted by the lock down Nazis. On every single principle of a natural rights republic, the socialists have an alien, subversive view of America, based upon communal, socialist values. We explain that socialists do not have a moral allegiance to the constitutional rule of law, and that they have no concept of God-given natural individual rights, because they have no concept of God. We conclude that a civil dissolution of the nation into socialist slave states and liberty free states is the best possible strategy to avoid future bloodshed.

In the week leading up to our celebration of International Women's Day, a series of essays celebrating five women who have been unacknowledged movers and shakers in the world of classical music down the ages. Each of these women overcame societal expectations or personal adversity to have real influence on the music of their day, and subsequently ours.Nadezhda von Meck was 46 and had recently lost her husband when she first wrote to Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky, who was in his mid-thirties, asking the rising star for some pieces to be played at her country house. Money followed in a registered envelope - an amount so big that it slightly embarrassed - but also dazzled - him. And that payment was only the start. For the 13 years that followed, Madame von Meck kept the composer in grand style.But the money came, and kept coming, on one condition: that the composer and his benefactor should never meet.Author and journalist Vanora Bennett, the eldest daughter of the flute player William Bennett and the cellist Rhuna Martin, tells the fascinating story of one woman's single-minded dedication to a cause she passionately believed in.
