When the Moon Sings

Sat. 5 pm ET- This week, P.T. chats with some members of Pa Daffins, a local rock and jazz group. We’ll also have music from the British TV series Broadchurch, Michael Hewitt, and Cathy Oakes. Yiruma and his winsome piano wlll be back, as will the guitarist William Tyler and Patrick O’Hearn his electronic ensemble. P.T. took out his sandals this week and left off the socks. Boy, that feels good. He might declaim from his soapbox on that. Join us. 03/02/2019

Sat. 5pm ET- Saturday is a busy, busy day in Savannah. It is the main day for the Savannah Book Festival, at three different squares, and there’s a marathon race around the streets starting in the morning. We begin with a piano and violin duo by Brian Crain. Brian is the composer and pianist, but he’s given lovely chunks of the melody to the violinist. The tune is called Wind – the breeze on a warm summer’s day in some meadow, not the gale that makes the sand sting your ankles on North Beach. Then a soft meditation called The Good America by Keith Jarrett, another unusual piano take of a tune by Don Shirley (of The Green Book movie) and Diana Krall’s cover of an old Sergio Mendes tune. On the Soapbox, P. T. certifies that the music is gluten-free and non-GMO, though he himself probably isn’t. He is biodegradable however. Join us.02/16/2019

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

Sat. 5 pm. ET – Here it is, five days into the new year, and P.T. already has muddy footprints all over it. We start with Eumir Deodato’s take on Richard Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathrustra. Then comes an oldie from Judy Collins, a solo piano piece from Jon Schmidt of the Piano Guys, a cut from the movie A River Runs Through It and much else. The path from Richard Strauss to Eumir Deodato meanders just a bit. Strauss originally wrote the music inspired by the book of the same name by Fredrich Nietzsche. And …..01/05/2018

Sat. 5 pm.ET – This week, we’ll sprinkle Stewarts around in preparation for Christmas. Xibalba is the Mayan underworld – if you don’t speak Mayan, literally, The Place of Fear. Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet did a beautiful interpretation for the film, The Fountain. There were lots of different opinions about the film, but the music was put up for several awards. We will also have Walk Off The Earth with an old hippie tune, Jacob Gurevitsch contemplating a female Da Vinci, Ryan Stewart, and a jazz group called The Quintet. 12/22/2018
