...track changes with your mood. That's what Tracey Moore and Mercedes Martinez have created. The neo-soul singer-songwriters may have a ridiculously unwieldy group name, but their CD is fabulously smooth, good from start to finish. With old-school heart and new-school attitude, they're Roberta Flack plus Sade with a little D'Angelo thrown...
...told the Associated Press that Furrow simply walked into the office, said "You're looking for me, I killed the kids in Los Angeles," and offered an explanation: "He wanted this to be a wake-up call to America to kill Jews."

However, when Joseph Lin '00 appeared on stage, violin in hand, the concert began to offer the special excitement that comes with a live performance. Roberta Flack introduced him as a theology concentrator (well, she actually said major) and introduced Tchaikovsky as "that guy who wrote the 1812 Overture." Using the cardboard binoculars that were handed out at the door (one idea that Symphony Hall should actually consider) the audience could take in the amazing passion...
