Back from hiatus, after traveling for 2 weeks through Europe, including visiting my old stomping grounds in Albania, where Dr. Lori Amy has been teaching and researching on a Fulbright and kindly hosted us in her Tirana home.  If you’re interested in pics from the 3 countries, and detailed notes on Albania from my wife’s perspective as a first-time visitor (here, here, & here), just visit my Facebook page.  (Also keep an eye on the news on Albania’s election results from yesterday, available in any major news sources online.)

Also, the Savannah Music Festival has posted streams online for your listening pleasure, from Schubert to Gershwin with a dose of boogie woogie.
