The imaginative and empathetic composer Lisa Bielawa — certainly one of those who have their own sound world that you can recognize immediately — has a coronavirus project in which she's soliciting short testimonies from the public reflecting on coronavirus experiences, writing melodies for them, giving them to singers to record, and then composing backing tracks for them.  She'll post a new "chapter" each Thursday at 3 PM (and leave them up), toward the eventual end of their all forming a big piece — which the participants can get together to perform live on The Other Side!

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  A really good one Phil Ward came up with during his time behind the stick at Pegu, the Cornwall Negroni:  pour 2 oz. Gin and 1/2 oz. each of Campari,  sweet Vermouth, and Punt e Mes, with 2 dashes orange bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, stir, and strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Garnish, of course, with an orange twist.
