The Ramble
Dec. 1

Indiana musicians re-created the concert in a performance last summer at Radio Radio in Fountain Square. For those, like me, who are kicking themselves for missing it, news that the concert is being re-created again, albeit in Bloomington, warrants some road-trip planning. Details here.
