Now that the spring pledge drive is over, I can start the daily premieres again. This morning's premiere: "Louie's Dream: For Our Jazz Heroes" was appropriate for April which is Jazz Appreciation Month.

This beautiful disc is a duet between pianist Eli Yamin and Clarinetist Evan Christopher honoring jazz greats Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Mary Lou Williams, Sidney Bechet and others. I hope you enjoyed this morning's music. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and for your support during the spring pledge drive!

Linda Yohn simply cannot remember a day in her life that was not filled with music. Her early life was full of changes as the daughter of a well-respected cancer research scientist who moved his family about, but one thing was constant: the love of music instilled by her mother. So, when it seemed life was too hard to bear, young Linda would listen to her radio, play her guitar, dance her heart out and sing at the top of her lungs. So, it isn’t so strange that “older” Linda still does all those things!
