Two distinct parts here. We’ll kick off with a couple long-ish, flowing tracks, endure a short talky bit, then head off again where things get a bit…peppier. (Did I just use an old-guy word? Oh, well. Enjoy!)

I quite enjoyed digging around in the library in the previous episode, so I’ve decided to ride that train a little longer here. Eighteen luscious tracks, aided and abetted by the shuffle (but mindfully, mind you!). And you never know…there just might be one of those. Yeah, one. Sure. That’s what I meant.

Not much to say here other than it’s a 50/50 ride, with tracks in the back half going back to 2013. Although I do get to teach you what a ney is, so there’s that. Enjoy.

Call it a landmark without fanfare. Instead, just another 90 minutes of dang fine music, including an unplanned “Ladies of the Piano” section. The flow dictates the show…

And that’s a wrap on 15 years in production! The podcast turns 16 with a two-hour bash in the library and let me tell you, it’s a pretty eclectic blend. Thank you for listening, whether you’re first time or long time, and for indulging my frequent foolishness. Trust me, it comes from a place of pure joy in having the chance to share amazing music with you. All righty, let’s get the party started!
