(Week 455)
This RADIOLA! returns from Carnegie Hall with glad tidings.
Recent RADIOLA! programs may be streamed here at your convenience. Just Gladiolus to see you-cast here. Each RADIOLA! program is sent to subscribers on my mailing list (email here).
RADIOLA! is brought to you sporadically by (and in spite of) The Syncopated Times. Please consider subscribing. My (not disinterested) opinion is that it's a delightful paper. (The article on pianist Richard Dowling from the July 2016 issue of The Syncopated Times may be viewed online on this page.)
You may purchase the three-CD set of Scott Joplin's complete piano works directly from Richard Dowling here.
