We zoomed out. Took a hiatus. Stepped away. Couldn't overcome the scheduling challenges. And, here's what we learned: the cliches about absence making the heart grow fonder, distance leading to clarity, and how missing something leads to greater commitment, increased energy, and way more gratitude are all true. They're all true! So, we're back to recording this podcast because we missed it, and we missed the connections it creates for us...connections between history and music, teachers and students, teachers and others teachers. Welcome back to For the Record, where we pick up right where we left off and dig into the intersections of music and history- with gusto.
