The radio station studio is closed. do what you can to be a part, be apart.

this edition starts with an encore presentation, or at least an hour from a show that aired on april 23, 2016, a few days after prince died, meaning the first hour features the music of prince.

new installments of the coronus diary in part two & part three featuring the music of prince (nothing by ) and weirdly a sidetrack into early rupert holmes, and recordings of boiling pasta, some hallmarks of spring, projects done with existing materials (not going out to consume), and birds.
