John Blow was the most significant English composer in the generation before Henry Purcell, ten years his junior, whom he outlived by thirteen years.
Born in 1649, the year of the execution of King Charles I, he was young enough to benefit from the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, with the revival of church music.
Blow's masque Venus and Adonis, a charming masque designed for the king's entertainment, influenced Purcell's better known short opera Dido and Aeneas, by the side of which it deserves a place.

The St. Paul's choir is way out of its depth: the blend is awful and the poor trebles are reduced to shouting.
John Scott's unvarying plod makes no distinction between soft, beautiful sections for soloists with flute or strings and triumphant climaxes for choir and brass.
The Blow and Boyce come off better, if only because there's less music for the choir, but they're not worth the price of the disc.

 CANOE -- SLAM! Sports - Basketball - NBA Toronto: Raps give St. John's blow off
The Raptors have a long tradition of playing pre-season games in other Canadian cities, starting with Halifax, Saint John, N.B., Saskatoon and Winnipeg during the inaugural 1995 season.
The Raptors travelled to St. John's for a pre-season game against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Mile One Stadium on Oct. 23, 2003, but the game was cancelled at the last minute because of moisture on the court.
Then-general manager Glen Grunwald, who made the final decision to cancel the game, promised the disappointed fans, many of whom climbed down from the stands to help wipe the moisture off the court with towels, that the team would return to St. John's in two years for another pre-season game.
