Comments on the interview AfriClassical had with violist Eliesha Nelson, posted in two parts, have appeared on the blog, in email and on Eliesha's blog. We present a selection of remarks. Eliesha sent us two emails after the first post:
(1) Thanks Bill! It's a nice interview, very personable! Eliesha
(2) Hi Bill, It was nice talking with you the other day! I thought you might be interested in an interview I did with Naxos of America about the Porter album. You can see it at: http://naxosofamerica.blogspot.com. Hope you are well. Eliesha

New interview on AfriClassical Blog
I had an interesting chat not too long ago with Bill Zick, who runs the Africlassical blog. It focuses on Africans and those of the African diaspora throughout the world who play and compose classical music. I was happy he wanted to do an interview about the Quincy Porter Complete Viola Works recording. Please check it out...

Thank You for the Bill Zick chat. It was most informative about you, the Quincy Porter Project, the composer, Porter. I await the recording. Ruth Nelson

Taylor V commented on AfriClassical:
What a fantastic interview! I always find it interesting when musicians and artists hail from seemingly remote places. Somehow it adds a bit of mystery. Congrats on releasing your album!
