Sat. 5 pm ET – We start with Michael Waters, a guitar piece called Velvet Letters from the Acoustic Psychedelic Chill album. Michael flashes from one mood to another while keeping it all within the framework of the rhythm and tonal quality. It’s a longish piece but worth listening through. Christopher’s Song is from Jon Schmidt, who should not be confused with the Jon Schmidt of the Piano Guys. Oh wait, it’s the same person – but his solo tunes really differ from his work with the group. Then something different from Keith Jarrett with a group, Yiruma, and Lindsey Stirling. 02/02/2019

Sat. 5 pm ET-A little serendipity this week. I’ve played the music of Greg Reiter, who is a guitarist that I admire. While looking for more of his music, I fat-fingered the entry and found Greg Reitan, who does some very thoughtful piano work. How do I find my music? Sometimes by falling down the manhole. I also have Greg Schmidt, who is not Jon Schmidt of the Piano Guys, but an interesting pianist in his own right. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, P.T. wonders about the meaning of it all and decides he doesn’t have the right dictionary. Join us.01/26/2019
