Thinking Out Loud: Love Matters part 2

Tonight on Thinking Out Loud, Darren visits with Debra Hardin, the writer and inspiration behind the CD Love Matters, which will be released at an event at the Blue Note in Columbia on Friday, Dec. 18. The project blends Hardin’s poetry with a symphony created by local musicians. It was conceived during a time of poor health for Hardin, who has cancer, and at one point was expected to be a tribute to her after her passing. Instead, she expects to participate in the debut.

Work continues on restoration of the Columbia home of Ragtime composer and concert pianist J.W. "Blind" Boone. On this week's Thinking Out Loud, the Reverend Clyde Ruffin visits with KBIA's Darren Hellwege about the progress and the process of making Boone's home a useful community space.
