In this episode of the Casey Stratton Podcast I answer many of your questions, including one that brings me to another Music Theory 101 lesson since the last one was a big hit with everyone. I then perform Kites from Orbit. Music recommendation is Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark....sudden, expansive shift toward a much larger canvas--a sleeker, orchestrated pop style pulsing with jazz elements.
