This week I am again privileged to speak with Raz Van Constantine, a participant in the 1989 uprising that served as a catalyst for the Romanian Revolution. Raz breaks a twenty year silence as he recounts his harrowing story. In this second part of the interview, Raz expresses his disappointment with how things turned out in Romania, and the importance of participating in a democracy.

This week’s music
Here are three music snippets I’ve composed on recently. All are free to use under the Creative Commons licence (Attribution, Non-Commercial). All are meant as background music for video, podcasts, etc.
Around the Corner is a sort of generic pop sounding one, but with a slightly different chord progression than you’d normally expect in this kind of thing.
Strolling Through Scarborough is a little jazz ditty written originally for Mark Blevis for use in the Rock Stars of Reading video project for Just One More Book, and also since featured from time to time in Scarborough Dude’s extremely fine DicksnJane podcast.
The last piece Lullaby is a work in progress; the guitar part is done (and is what you get here, so it works as a three verse loop), and I have words written, but have yet to lay down a vocal track that I’m happy with. Someday soon, I hope.
