Music

• We open with Mary Lattimore's Jimmy V • . I love Mary Lattimore.

• We hit Hatian guitarist Frantz Casseus' Lullaby • from 1954 a few times.

• We hear Drifting • , by Matthew Robert Cooper.

• And A Fool Persists • by Infinite Body.

• The two piano things are Open Window - For Piano • by Yuichiro Fujimoto, and Pale • by Akira Kosemura.

• We also hear Gareth Dickson's Friday Night Fever • for a bit.

Notes

• I learned about Ynes while flipping idly through the 1974 edition of Notable American Women: A Biographical Dictionary (volume II, G-O, incidentally), "prepared under the Auspices of Radcliffe College," as it says on the frontispiece.

• By far the most comprehensive thing I read was biography for young readers called Ynes Mexia: Botanist and Adventurer by Durlynn Anema.
