Musical Interlude: Well, here's a new discovery. Listening to Mountain Stage this morning, I heard one their guests, the Langan Band, folk musicians I was unfamiliar with. I liked their sound and plan to investigate their work. Here's a sample, from the 2022 Orkney Folk Festival.

"Djelem Djelem/Drunken Dwarf," performed live by the Langan Band.

Musical Interlude: Violinist Lara St. John generated a bit of a stir when she posed topless for her first album cover (with a strategically placed violin keeping it decent). She sniffed at those who objected, pointing to all sorts of classical albums featuring art with nude women on the covers. I liked her spirit and like her playing even more. Here's something from later in her career.

"Czardashian Rhapsody," played by Lara St. John on violin, Matt Herskowitz on piano.
