A visit from ETHEL

She's definitely not your aunt Ethel. Not stodgy, not conservative. Not set in her ways. She's actually a string quartet named ETHEL, whose members are dedicated to making exciting music that spans almost every genre. The members of ETHEL dropped by our studios recently for an interview and performance. We heard part one yesterday; today is part two.
