I don't pick it up often anymore, but when I do, it brings me such joy, and then I don't want to stop playing. Then, my lips insist! LOL I do love string music, though -- especially string quartet, and Puccini's Crisantemi has definitely become one of my favorites! #MusicPlantsHope

I’m delighted to share this interview with my dear friend @tonnyef.bsky.social about her beautiful pb MUSIC PLANTS HOPE 🪴 🎵 🎻 Based on a true event during the 2020 pandemic, this lyrical book is filled with gorgeous illustrations & interesting back matter. marianariosramirez.com/music-plants...

This week, I'm sharing some personal facts and interesting tidbits about myself. Those of you who know me won't be surprised by any of this. Feel free to share with a friend who doesn't know me but might enjoy the book, #musicplantshope.

4 years ago, with very little knowledge and very much passion, I jumped into the world of PBJamz—part video podcast, part multimedia blog! I’ve interviewed more than 75 creators and hosted over 90 episodes!

If you have a copy of #MusicPlantsHope, Amazon reviews are now open & it would mean the world if you would leave us an honest review. It doesn't have to be long, but it would bump us up in the algorithm! Here's the link if you're willing: a.co/d/06PeExfJ 🥰🥰🥰

OK, I'm doing a big paraphrase here. This is not word-word with the Spanish. But, it's the gist of it. Natalia says that she wanted to include a little story underneath the main story of the concert for plants .

Pre-orders are starting to arrive early! 🥰 As a bird-lover, I adore that Natalia included a bird in such a poignant way! #musicplantshope is winging its way to a store near you! There’s still time to pre-order… check out the links by scanning the QR code! #backmatterblitz

#musicplantshope features illustrator Natalia Bruno this week. Today’s #backmatterblitz shares snippets of her work space and her work in progress!
