First drop

Hello all......one or two of you? Three, maybe? Fluxblog this ain't, but I intend to have some fun playing DJ a while.

First post is the song for which this site is named. Jeux d'eau translates as "fountains" or "water games" or "playing water," or so I am told. I love this recording of the piece, recorded by Emilia Flegel for the Star Tribune a year or two ago.

No, this will not be a classical music blog.

I fell in love with the loose beauty of this piece the first time I heard it, and could not find a commercially available recording to match it. So I streamed it from the Strib and share it with you now. Please enjoy.

Also, an M Ward song that feels so right right now.
