Blanchard residency profiled by regional newspaper

?Skidmore College Class of 2012 Summer Reading Selections? is an inch-thick book of fiction, nonfiction and government reports combining both.

It?s the Grammy-winning, pained, proud mournful music Blanchard made by expanding his soundtrack ? and no tragedy has ever had a finer one ? for Spike Lee?s HBO documentary ?When the Levees Broke.?
