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:  Whatever time of day it is, it's always time for a Lily's Cartel:  pour 1 oz. Pisco, 3/4 oz. Aperol, 3/4 oz. orange juice (blood orange juice by preference — if you've got blood oranges), 1/4 oz. lemon juice, and 1/2 oz. simple syrup into an ice-filled cocktail shaker, shake, and strain into a Champagne flute.  Top with Champagne.  You'll never look at an Aperol Spritz the same way again.
