Everyone who came to the Studio last night was blown away by the beautiful songs performed by Bryce Milligan and Don Stephens. Even though these two poet/pickers had never met before in person, they played a song swap that blended perfectly – every song sounded more breathtaking than the previous. Seriously. I tend toward hyperbole (really??), but these guys were so good. And Roberto Pachecano was the perfect moderator. It was a privilege to hear them. I’m putting together a more comprehensive video soon, but here’s a short clip to give you a taste of the evening – Don sings first, a short selection about life’s changes, then Bryce sings a longer song about Dante and Beatrice, then Don finishes the clip:
The gentle power of music as poetry
