Thank you. I took advantage of your invitation to play a couple tracks on CATCH OF THE DAY, a brand-new hour-long segment devoted to new recordings on the first and last Sundays of the month on a the Alpha and Omega Show, hosted by Paul Janes-Brown on Maui’s non-profit station Manao Radio. It streams worldwide, and we’re going to post segments for free streaming, though we’re not quite up to speed on that yet. It was my special pleasure to spotlight your work and your ethos as an artist who wants above all to share the music. A lovely recording. I look forward to further exploration.

We closed [our October 30 radio program, Catch of the Day] with tracks from the pianist Peter Schaaf’s 44 Waltzes on 88 Keys, which includes, in their entirety, sets by Schubert, Brahms, Dvořák, and Ravel. Released by the artist on Schaaf Records, the material is also available free for streaming and downloads at schaafrecords.com. Our teasers came from the little-known Dvořák set, meditative, mercurial vignettes rendered with an unassuming poet’s touch.
