This afternoon we offer Requiem in D Minor by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The music is solemn and magnificent. The next 60-90 days may get a bit tough in Central Ohio as Covid 19 Testing/Countermeasures improve but we'll get thru this as a community. Have a store of food, water, cleaning supplies and medicine in your home. Stay there if you can . . . and . . . begin to paint again . . . write that song . . . book or poem that's been been running around in your head . . . Stay strong . . . Be optimistic . . . These difficult and unusual times will pass.

One of my very favorite Kpop bands, AOA (Ace of Angels) is back with a brand new EP. It is absolutely the best work they've done since ChoA left in 2017. Alternative World Music . . . . Nothing Better

Very few people today know about a remarkably talented and idiosyncratic band called "The Blue Nile." While eschewing the spot light they gained the admiration and support of Peter Gabriel and Rickie Lee Jones. Today we offer tracks from "Hats", an album that earned the highest accolades from Mojo, NME, Pitchfork, Q and many other musical/cultural magazines. If you look for hidden gems to impress your audiophile friends . . . . consider this a lucky day.
