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
