That particular spelling of music dates back at least to the early 1600's--and--symbolizes our exploration of the antiquarian marrying the modern this Saturday night.  From modern melodies to ancient... old Albion has given us a treasure of  songs and tunes that have survived centuries... sometimes in original but often modified forms that carry the same spirit of the past.

This is the time of the year when I especially enjoy epic adventures...both sonic and cinematic.  That quickly brings us round to this Saturday night's show.   While epic usually denotes "length of time"--thats only one dimension.  The sublime talent of Rachel Bissex was cut way too short with breast cancer.  Yet I define her musical career clearly in the realm of epic when you hear her December Moon which opens the show.

There is a special kind of sonic magic that transforms October.  As the late Nick Drake, acclaimed folk singer once sang “...Autumn reaches her for her golden crown...”  The fresh morning chill in the air, the transmuting of foliage into natural blankets of color against bare charcoal branches against a purple twilight sky and the music that pervades and massages our soul.
