Every Monday morning at 9:15, I join John Birge on Classical MPR to talk about the stories we're featuring on our websites. Here's what we'll be discussing today.
What does the world's oldest playable harpsichord sound like? Our readers have been fascinated with video of a 16th-century instrument that's recently been restored by a South Dakota museum.
As local audiences thrill to the Guthrie's new Music Man, Cinda Yager reminisced about her Catskills childhood, where "76 Trombones" was just one of the songs played by her community band while young and old enjoyed all the Neapolitan ice cream they could eat.
Would you put your baby to sleep with the music of legendary local punk band the Replacements? How about if the music was arranged into lullaby form? Take a listen—and when your young one tires of "Bastards of Young" in lullaby form, our 24/7 stream of classical lullabies can come to the rescue.
