Originally the House of Refuge in Pittsburgh; the facility was moved to a healthier setting in 1876; taken over by the state; and converted into an institution for the incarceration of juvenile offenders. Local parents would threaten to send their children there if they misbehaved. Morganza has long been a draw for historical researchers; urban explorers; ghost hunters; and others interested to learn more about those who lived and worked there. Morganza was easily identified by its administration building capped by a striking copper cupola; located prominently just off Interstate 79 in Cecil Township. Its distinctive architecture was also featured in the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs. Over the years; Morganza underwent several name changes. Standing as a containment campus for delinquent youths for just over 90 years; it later functioned as a facility to aid the mentally handicapped until its closure in 2000.

A useful book for musiciansBy Leonard DukeThis is a great book for musicians (or soundpersons) who are not afraid of some high school level physics. Benade; a musician himself; gives details about individual instruments; their playing quirks; and imperfections in intonation. If you like to tinker with instruments; this book is for you. There is an amazing amount of detail. Your respect for instrument designers will grow as you learn about the compromises they must deal with.
