Great Music, Re-discovery of a group I love: Steeleye Span
Way back in the 1970's, when they were new, I discovered a British band called Steeleye Span. They play and sing medieval and Renaissance English folk songs, with modern rock instrumentation. Sounds weird, but they were, and are, simply wonderful. I still own a bunch of vinyl albums from their early years, and we play …

I’m Up to the Challenge: Dinner Party Edition~History’s Best
This week's challenge is a great one for me, as I have already given lots of thought to who I'd invite to my "ideal dinner party" table.

The second half of the program was as described above, Simply Sublime …
Something for your after-Christmas Listening Pleasure
I'm about to head out to play the complete (yes, all three parts) Messiah with a church in Seattle. This particular selection is my favorite. I found this very nice rendition on YouTube.

A Truly Magical Place
Last week, my husband and I visited Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Curtis is probably THE most prestigious music conservatory in the US, and maybe the world. It's been around since the 1920's, and is located in a beautiful old building on Rittenhouse Square. They train young musicians, singers, composers, and conductors, who will …
