All the notes seem to ring in my ear

Dear No Such Thing As Was subscribers, followers, and readers: I’ve got a bit on my plate between teaching and traveling, so I could’t get to a new post this week. As Spring is threatening to burst out for good here in northern Illinois, my mind and heart go to the Records, a band that I’ve long associated with warm sunny weather.
