But nothing beats being in the room with the music & the musicians!
Thursday, 11/21 at 7pm, Walker Brents gives another in his long-running series of talks on topics of his choosing, always at once timeless and timely. These are mostly caught in the live stream, though you’re welcome to grab a chair and join us in person if you like. No charge, but donations really help us pay Walker for his work; so if you see your way clear to do so, please donate!
