Joyful Exiles: in memoriam Lief Moi (10-11-1962 to 9-22-2022)

Joyful Exiles has published the following:

Lief Moi has died. 

I alluded to it last week the day of at the end of a post, but only regular readers with a ton of background on MH would've spotted that.

I've written a few things about my friend over the years and there's a tag for anyone who wants to read or revisit that.  At the moment I don't feel especially inspired to write about the passing of my friend.  I met all three co-founding pastors of Mars Hill but Lief was the one who became my friend over the course of the last twenty years.  Later I may get it together enough to write something at Wenatchee The Hatchet that's more extensive but now is not the time.

Condolences to friends and family.

Dusan Bodganovic has a Sonatina homage to Haydn, played by Daniella Rossi

In what might be one of the jazzier homages to Franz Joseph Haydn, here's a sonatina for solo guitar by Dusan Bogdanovic, who does not just so happen to be one of my favorite living guitarist composers.

I'm not feeling nearly so inspired to write posts lately for reasons long-time readers may have inferred from an oblique and passing comment last week.  2022 has not been the best year IRL on several fronts. 

This video reminds me that I've wanted to blog through the Bogdanovic guitar sonatas for years.  We'll see ... and I hope to get to that.

I may posts video links and ... maybe links for the weekend stuff ... but not feeling inspired lately to blog as I have in the past.
