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:  I'm not sure the Parasol actually improves on the Pisco Sour (how can you improve on perfection?).  But it's nice to try something a little different every once in a while.  Pour 1 oz. Pisco, 2 oz. Aperol, 1/2 oz. each of lemon and lime juice, 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup, and 1 egg white into a cocktail shaker with no ice.  Dry shake.  Then, fill the cocktail shaker with ice, and shake again.  Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.  Add 4 dashes of Angostura bitters and do that connect-the-dots thing with a straw or toothpick.
