Did she write the song that the group Huey Lewis and the News had a hit with?

Different song, and one I prefer.

You may have misunderstood me.  I prefer the Huey Lewis song.

I guess this counts as "non-classical": starting now, Emily XYZ and Myers Bartlett are celebrating the release of OMSHIVA MICHIGAN, a new LP recording of poems for two voices written by Emily.

The evening is being livestreamed by The Poetry Project, and if you have never heard the duo, they are something to behold.

I haven't seen that one, but I've watched other ones from those broadcasts; pretty neat!

I love both Robt Fripp's characteristic candor and modesty in confessing to a gap in his playing, and Daryl Hall graciously passing it off.

Another outstanding collection from Yazoo. Baffling that these artists recorded only two sides or four sides and then were done.

I'd guess lack of resources to record and reach an out-of-the-area audience in the Depression era segregated South had a heavy impact.

Most likely, we can expect some new recordings from Keith Jarrett, beyond the release that just came out recently. Jarrett isn't for everyone—and he doesn't have to be. For me, he's an endless, boundless fragment of my life, starting from the mid-seventies. I'm not expecting revelations, and this is one of those cases where that doesn't disappoint me—instead, it brings me pure joy.

Dipping into the original Broadway production of Sondheim's Passion, an unusual musical based on the 1981 film, Passione d'Amore by Ettore Scola. The ravishing score has some of Sondheim's best work, which is saying something.

I quite agree; I tend to think of it as my favorite of his shows.  Donna Murphy is phenomenal.

Listened to Miley Cyrus' new album. Didn't like it. Fake heaviness.

Better stuff:
Anouk - Set this thing on fire

Very nice

I shared a video with a friend (we were yakking away about music); it was one that I saw some years ago on a late night talk show and remembering being really impressed by it.  It's a song by the Canadian artist Alessia Cara and is called "Here":

Her music somehow passed me by, but her recent acting work was a pleasant surprise. House of Gucci, etc.
