"Presqu'ile" - French for peninsula, or more literally: "almost an island"

Almost-Island music...... Peninsular Music.....

We are surrounded on three sides by the hope of freedom, but also the dangers of the deep.... From here we can contemplate and dream, retreat if we must, to the strength of good tradition, the solid mainland...

We can also jump in and swim, set sail, and sometimes drown in the cosmic undertow..... the musician as amorous adventurer, as scientist seeker of primal sound, as prophet eking out the song of God; as heroic cultural diplomat, as crab-walking poet-fool and crank, the musician as child playing in the waves with his friends....

Do good things. Think good thoughts. Thrive in adversity...
