Music Calendars

I’m trying to catch up from being dormant last year, so I’m looking over everything and doing some necessary maintenance. These are a few initial changes.

Music Calendars

I updated my Music Calendar pages, as well as the Music menu options. I created  new Music Calendars for Jan 2020 and Feb 2020, as well as an annual index for 2020 and a master index of all music.

Piano Haven Concerts

Also, I updated the Piano Haven Concert Series post so more visitors would get to enjoy this wonderful music. I made it “sticky” so it always appears first (even before my Welcome page), embedded the concert videos inline rather than links to separate tabs, and included links to more music for many of the artists.

Feedback

I would love to hear whether you like these features, and if there is anything else I can do to improve my site. Comments are encouraged here, and I really appreciate the feedback and suggestions. Of course, you can always use the Contact page under the About menu as well. Thanks.
