Billy Joel would have written some bops for Pete Grimes & the Borough, or at least the young me that loved Oliver & Co would be on board

I look forward to listening to the episode!

I don't think it was uploaded on Patreon?

Isn't there a theory that Grimes is a repressed homosexual?

Yes! I was having issues with Patreon this week but should be up tonight. And yes the discussion of sexuality is a big part of this episode (in Grimes as well as other Britten operas).

One of my first dates with my husband, about 20 years ago, was a Housing Works concert with Hilary Hahn and friends which was how I saw a baby-faced Chris Thile first play Bach.
