TWF, "mock tudor" was my intro to RT, and it never disappoints. i've got some catching up to do! he was a guest on world cafe about a week ago and i was cursing because i was in my vehicle deeper in the mountains and reception was sketchy.

Tonight:

Grieg, Sym in C minor, Kamu/GothenburgSO, BIS LP200 (wonderful music by Grieg at the age of 21, before he found his grounding in Norwegian folk meolodies but showing the skillful orchestration that imbues his later music)

Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, "Speak Love" Pablo D2310888 (from 1983, Ella in great voice still, with a wonderful rendition of "Georgia on my mind" among others)
