Program notes:

Someone falls asleep next to you, a head on your shoulder, a paw stretched out on your lap. When you start to hear gentle snoring you are acutely aware; they are here, they are alive, and they are comfortable enough to fall asleep in your presence. 

Snoring has had a band rap far too long,

don’t you agree?
