Tuesday Tones
Continuing our series exploring classical music about or inspired by water, in one way or another, we have one of the most evocative tone poems of all time: The Fountains of Rome by Ottorino Respighi. Respighi lived 1879-1936, and his gift … Continue reading

This one‘s pretty quick and easy! 1) Has anyone ever told you “I love you” but you didn’t say it back? I don’t think so. 2) Do you consider yourself organized? Hahahaha! No. I try, but I do … Continue reading
It’s so bright here on the outside….
