I have always appreciated the quality of NPR live broadcasts. The music and recording quality have always beenof excellet. It hass been albeit primarily limited to Classical European music. I stumbled over a series with Eryka Baddu singing her broken heart out " My eyes are green because I eat I lot of vegetables." Of course the performance was heart wrenching but surprisimg was the quality of the music over a you tube, a smartphone and headphones.
I will be posting some of the better ones here over the next few weeks. Feel free to access them directly on you tube.

Sorry. I am having eye problems again. I meant NPR(National Public Radio) not MPR. It's not just for nerds anymore.
