Blending the acoustic warmth of the double bass w elements of minimalism, folk, & modern classical, the music of Garth Stevenson is special to me. It invites exactly what I need right now: stillness, reflection, and a slowing down of time. Highly recommended!

Florida vs. Virginia score, takeaways: No. 13 Gators off to best start in 19 years with SEC-ACC Challenge win
