by John Chacona
When you first listen to Departure No. 1," from John Escreet's The epicenter of your dreams (Blue Room Music, 2024), you might well ask, Who wrote that?

John Escreet: The Epicenter Of Your Dreams

by Mark Corroto

Michelle Lordi: Only Love Can Break Your Heart

by John Chacona
"Only Love Can Break Your Heart," a minor 1970 Neil Young hit, was ostensibly written for Graham Nash after the latter's split from Joni Mitchell (a claim Young later walked back), a breakup song then. It's a lilting waltz with a simple melody more sweet than sad. Cycling eight-bar verse and chorus sections without a bridge ...
