	Reflecting on the Sacred Roots of Classical Music In St. Louis and most urban centers, music and spirituality interact abundantly. Churches, synagogues, New Thought centers and even some Buddhist institutions often sponsor choirs and instrumental groups; it is not uncommon to see and hear instrumentation as diverse as flutes, strings, handbells, electric keyboards, brass instruments and percussion in addition to the ubiquitous organs and (since the '70s) guitars of mainline churches. by Gary Scott	July 2011

	Commentary: Dumbing Down the Culture Commentators over the years have remarked that a country’s psyche can be understood by observing the popular arts. As one who is heavily involved in the arts (music, photography and writing), I have been observing this very closely. When we look at the characters played out in films, in television and in popular music, we see something that tells us about what we really are. While there are exceptions, we rarely find an educated person in any comedy or drama who is not an object of derision. by Dennis Owsley	June 2011

	Two Myths of St. Louis Jazz When I wrote "City of Gabriels: The History of Jazz in St. Louis, 1895-1973," based on oral histories of the musicians that actually were there at the time, I found a number of myths that have been rooted deeply in the St. Louis psyche. I want to deal with two of them here. by Dennis Owsley	May 2011
