The Poet

Respecting the classics while sharing the odd and unexpected musical gift. If the music you love doesn't occasionally move you to tears, do you really love it? I play what I love and spin lots of new artists and albums. I'm currently grooving on the Crane Wives, Bartees Strange, Vijay Iyer, Terence Blanchard, Arlo Parks, and the Glass Animals. I would describe my setlists as a slow simmer, punctuated by the odd apoplectic shift. Lend me your ears.

Children's Advocacy Center (click for more info)

The Children's Advocacy Center leads the local effort in supporting suspected victims of child sexual abuse, as well as providing community education to prevent such assaults.

Talking about child sexual abuse is emotionally challenging ... but what's even harder is ignoring the facts.

One in ten children will be sexually abused before they turn 18.

If a child tells you they've been abused... it's crucial that you carefully listen, believe them, and report it to police or CPS.
