Consider, dear listeners, the unresolved interval between Christmas and the New Year. Some of us work, some don't. Some socialize with friends and family, some enjoy a good book. A fortunate minority take vacations in warm places; the rest of us return unwanted gifts, make resolutions for the new year, clean out closets, take in a movie, and keep busy to disguise the lack of normal purpose.
In general, it's an ill-defined and unsettled week in our national calendar until New Year's eve parties and a massive day of football bring some all-American clarity back to the picture. In the week to come, we start the new year and whatever the 'new normal' is.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE we wish you a stellar new year, and bring you a soundtrack for this phantom period on a program called INTERLUDE. Music is by JEFF OSTER, MARK ISHAM, KATHRYN KAYE, TIM STORY, LUDOVICO EINAUDI, BOB HOLROYD, DARSHAN AMBIENT, and introducing JONATHAN HUGH.

I want to thank Stephen Hill and everyone at Hearts of Space for sharing not one but two of my songs on their last show of this year. It is always special to be a part of your program, in the company of the other fine artists you bring to your program.
If you haven't listened to HOS, you're missing one of the great joys in radio. They have been sharing our music with the world for many years, bringing peace and reflection to an otherwise hurried planet.
May you continue your fine work for years to come.
Happy New Year, and for the lessons of this year gone by...
