Let's face it – it has been a long, cold, and dreary month. But don't lose hope - the week of Spring is almost here! Just a few short days later, we will welcome the fetid armpit of Nagoya's heat!

This weekend brings some real joy in the upcoming performance of Kye Goski at Hongo's Armadillo.

Also, we are excited to showcase the work of Louise Haynes, whose Substack "Social Issues in Song" is worth a read for educators, English students, and music lovers of all stripes.
