A very happy New Year to the readers, writers and editors of The Riff! May 2022 be filled with joy, healing and grace—all of it accompanied, of course, by great music.

To start 2022 on a brilliant note (pun intended!), we meet on Sunday, January 9 for the first The Riff Album of the Month discussion of the year.
