This Saturday’s selection is dedicated to the beautiful Tango, which inspired this short story of mine, A Long Tango Across A Canopy of Whispering Leaves. All of these pieces are on classical guitar because that’s my current obsession right now, wanting to learn more tango pieces on the classical guitar. Hey, if you can’t dance … Continue reading Saturday Soiree 19/07/2020: Tango (via Classical Guitar) Edition
The theme for tonight’s Friday Night Mixtape is “Bittersweet Mellow”, mostly because I started the day listening to Jesca Hoop, and because I injured my knee and therefore am hardly in the mood for dance-y type music.

Today’s music post is dedicated to all of the brave, brilliant and experimental musicians and artists out there of African American Descent. The feature artist for this week is Leon Bridges, whom I rather belatedly discovered this year thanks to his collaboration with Khruangbin on Texas Sun and I’ve been besotted with his voice ever … Continue reading Midweek Listening 09/06/2020/ — #BlackLivesMatter edition
