CCW contributors—Jeff, Veronica, Andrea, and Cynthia—each recorded a line for this recording.
I would like to share a message from a highly respected scholar. (His articles appear in distinguished journals such as Études grégoriennes and Oxford’s Early Music.)

If I say to John Doe, “that’s the pot calling the kettle black,” frequently John Doe will go around telling everybody I called him an ugly pot. It’s quite disturbing. I’ve also noticed that many Americans believe the definition of “possible” […]
Including the “official statement” regarding the Coronavirus.
I’m not even sure what to say about this.
