They've become a rarity in Maryland bars, but on Tuesday afternoon they filled the Crossroads Inn in Keymar: smokers, lighting up and puffing away without shame or trepidation. What's more, seated or standing alongside were nonsmokers, enjoying themselves without fanning away the fumes or complaining about the hazards of secondhand smoke. "It doesn't bother me," said Robert Howard. The Taneytown resident surveyed the place to distinguish smokers and nonsmokers before spotting regular patron James Brown of Keysville at the other end of the bar. "Hey Jim, do you smoke?"

Playing the baroque (or valveless) trumpet in works such as Bach's vertiginous Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 is, in trumpeter John Thiessen's words, "somewhat like [climbing] Mount Everest." Thiessen, one of the best-known practitioners of the art of the baroque trumpet, joins Pro Musica Rara Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at the Baltimore Museum of Art for a performance of the popular Brandenburg No. 2. The musicians of PMR will also perform Bach's Concerto for Two Violins and music of Vivaldi and Telemann.

In the annals of ungratefulness, the Margrave of Brandenburg retains a place of distinction. Upon receipt of six painstakingly hand-written music scores sent to him in 1721, accompanied by a gift tag bursting with obsequious prose, this brother of the Prussian king put them in a drawer and ignored them. Didn't even send a simple "Thank You, Peasant" note. At least the margrave didn't go in for re-gifting. Otherwise, the world might never have discovered the Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach.

BRANDENBURG, Germany - The stone goddesses are flaking on Big Garden Street. The steel mill started its slide years ago. The textile plant has fared no better. Steeples glimmer above the rooftops, but the hopeful flicker doesn't obscure what Otto Mahler sees as one long betrayal. "When East and West Germany reunified after communism, they promised us the world," said Mahler, a retired steel worker whose factory has shrunk from 10,000 jobs to 750 over the past decade. "They said we'd all have an equal standard of living.
