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

The list includes Helen Jane Long, a favorite pianist of mine. She toured briefly on the West Coast last year, after not touring at all for much of her career, and she lives in England, so I thought she might repeat a US tour this year. Alas , nothing so far. If that changes, I’ll let you know.
This week, P.T. Bridgeport rejoices that January is over and we are in the merry month of February. Well, it might be merrier than January anyway
