Michelangelo's Jonah
You remember Jonah, right? The prophet who ran away and got swallowed by the whale? Great story, but worth attending to a little more closely. You’re invited to attend with us, to this little literary masterpiece, with lots of interesting, and even sometimes relevant, music to help us along the way.

Congratulations on an excellent programme of music and conversation held together by the retellng of the Jonah story–artfully announced, delayed and presented in sections: juggling with two oranges. Also well-timed–a third orange–with the final Dylan song, starting at exactly the right point to take us to the end.
