  10. Musical Interlude: Composer Claude Debussy never described himself as an Impressionist, as he was a composer and not a painter, but many later critics felt he managed to translate the visual style of the Impressionists to music. Whether or not that makes sense to you, here's a piano suite that many feel encapsulates his musical Impressionism.

    "Estampes," composed by Claude Debussy, performed live by Nikolai Lugansky.

  12. Musical Interlude: Today I discovered the new, Grammy-nominated band American Patchwork Quartet, made up of musicians of different ethnic backgrounds, singing traditional American folk songs but with a unique style, that pays tribute to America's immigrant heritage and cultural diversity.

    I mean, how I can I resist a band that pays homage to patchwork quilts? I need to see these folks in concert sometime.

    "Wayfaring Stranger," performed by American Patchwork Quartet.

  22. Musical Interlude: A rain came through this evening, and I spent some time just sitting on the porch watching it fall. It wasn't blustery or anything, just a gentle summer rain. I felt very calm and secure in my rocking chair.

    Songs about rain usually are sad ones, but this tune just about captures my feeling sitting on the porch, watching it fall...

    "Times Like This," performed by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians.
