00:00 - Introduction

03:44 - Free-for-All (Rockin' in Prague)

25:53 - Main Topic (Luther on Music)

On episode ONE HUNDRED AND SIX of Let the Bird Fly! Mike sits down with Dr. Jeremy Zima once again; this time to discuss Martin Luther on Music. Before getting to the main topic, though, Mike asks Dr. Zima to discuss his recent trip to Europe....with his rock band (well, he says a country band, but whatever). That's right, Dr. Zima's not just a professor, he's also an INTERNATIONAL rock star! But don't let this rock star fool you, he's also a music historian (is there anything this guy doesn't do?). It's hard to overestimate the role of music in the Reformation, and in this episdoe Dr. Zima makes that abundantly clear.

A big thanks to Dr. Zima for joining us again!
