New Music Monday

I'm stealing this idea from WFUV. Two weeks ago driving to Maryland and back I tuned in their City Folk program for about a third of the ride. And it was New Music Monday. All day long they played cuts from the new music that had come into the studio.

So here's how New Music Monday will work on A Ripple Over These Thousand Hills:
Every Monday you're invited to list "new" music. It might be a new release from a favorite artist. Or it might be a new band. Or it might be some music that is new to you. And new doesn't mean today only. Just music that you've discovered in the last few weeks or so.
