Thursday, February 14
For Valentine's Day, GPB sets the mood with tuneful, dreamy and passionate music. Off the air, the Columbus and Albany symphonies play lovey-dovey concerts tonight, and there are lots more (sober, clear-headed) concerts of all sorts across Georgia in coming days - read all about it!
A note on Midday Music-al chairs: Alan Cooke in Augusta hosts Friday requests as usual. Then our man in Savannah, Eric Nauert of WSVH, hosts the show February 18-20. (Alan's playlists live here; WSVH's are here.) I'll be back next Thursday. Happy chocolate till then!
