Tune of the day: 'The Queen's Court.' A rare suite for electric viola da gamba by Matt Keegan Music Hub. I don't often record for solo viol but LOVE this piece!

Thanks to all those who supported my two groups The Marais Project & Elysian Fields during 2025.

A pity that streaming platforms pay musicians so poorly!
