A while ago, around my nineteenth birthday, I had my tarot cards read by a woman named Marlene. Sadly, I don’t recall the faintest bit of what the cards said. It’s kind of disappointing, to tell you the truth. If I came seeking answers to some juicy question, I’ve long since forgotten what it...

I'm really trying to bridge whatever disconnect exists between jazz music and my love of art with applied meaning. Django Reinhardt was a great place to start for me. Not only were his parents gypsies, but the man only had 3 fingers. I can't imagine overcoming any physical abnormality. The ones I...
Share a song you recently realized you can't get enough of... no matter how many times you listen to it. The great Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli and the other guys from the Quintette of the Hot Club of France performing "Charleston." Cut a rug, y'all!

I'll be having news about our activities later. The second semester has come and gone with summer classes taking much of time has...
