I think about each one of you; my friends on my mailing list I call from time to time; audience members at some of my past events; then there are some of you whom I have never met in person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are like me, the news these days are hard to take. I thought we were almost on the other side of this. …That soon, we will go back to our lives as we knew it before Covid-19. But now, things seem to be going backward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are dealing, not just with Covid-19, but its economic impact and issues of social injustice and inequality. While all of these feel overwhelming, music and arts can serve as inexpensive\/accessible resources that can reduce our stress and manage our pains. And because its effect is relatively easy to distribute, it can serve as a social equalizer. My knowledge in the area exasperate the urgency I feel to share my music. It is like a present – all wrapped up with ribbons and all. If I have to hold onto it, it becomes a painful reminder of the opportunities I am missing; opportunities to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that 6AM is early for many of my friends on the West Coast, but you can watch it as a recording later as well. Here is the link to my 6AM session on Monday. I am going through one variation from the Goldberg Variations. I will do Var. III on Monday, then IV on Tuesday, so on and so forth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
