The Socialist Origins of International Women’s Day (Cintia Frencia and Daniel Gaido for Jacobin, 2017).

Last night, at a club where I play regularly, a group of older women with European accents specifically asked me to play a set for International Women's Day. I can't say that I had a huge trove of appropriate sheet music, but my efforts were appreciated. I dedicated the music to my mother, my wife, my daughter, and the table of International Women.
