AMERICAN HIGHWAYS #14: WATER MUSIC FOR EARTH DAY • Earth Day is an international festival to promote understanding of nature, and a less wasteful lifestyle. In honor of the occasion, pianist Guy Livingston presents water music by composers from Edward MacDowell to Thelonius Monk. In this episode of American Highways, we hear the Wind in the Willows, Seaweed's Dance, Rialto Ripples, the Housatonic at Stockbridge, and more watery music from the American landscape. LIVE CONCERT: tomorrow (Saturday April 18, 2015 at 2pm) Guy Livingston will be performing a mini-recital on the same theme (water) for the Earth Day Celebrations in Den Haag.
