Live From My Living Room seeks to reconnect musicians with audiences and music lovers with each other while remaining socially distant. Fans can comment to the performer and discuss with each other in real time. This week, we're happy to be joined by composer Philip Schuessler, a native Birminghamian, who is now a professor at Southeastern Louisiana University. This performance will stream on our YouTube and Facebook pages. Direct links will be posted soon.
