Blogs Noted: Carl Banner, Mummenshanz, Chore Wars, Smaller Box, Juniper Ridge and More

Carl Banner plays Beethoven (brief video). And check out the blog, too: DC Musica Viva, and in particular, You Know You Are An Artist When. (People, please stop saying DC is all about the rat race... )

Beltway's newest issue is now online, the Langston Hughes Tribute Issue, co-edited by Katy Richey and Kim Roberts. Contains 34 poems inspired by Hughes's legacy, commemorating his residence in DC in the early days of his career.
