Resolutions for my Imaginary Museum

I've been writing more blogs than usual this month: I'm up to three! There's an inane one about anthems for stadiums, and I really do wish I could be in a huge stadium crowd singing Shambala. There's one about a conductor's ability to understand the expressive potential of notated music, and to perform it as he imagines it, even if no one in the composer's lifetime probably ever heard it done so imaginatively. And then there's the one about my imaginary New Year's resolutions. What if I were a volunteer in a local museum? That's the one that starts with objects and ends with people.
