Each week, you join us as we bring you timeless songs. But really… what makes those songs timeless? Is it because of their age, or is there something deeper within them? We explore that idea with violinist Aaron Weinstein; his latest album is called 3x3. We’ll talk about the album as well as his musical collaborations with the late Bucky Pizzarelli. But first… we’re going to talk about something very near and dear to Aaron... bowties. More at aaronweinstein.net.
