    The Mississippi Arts Hour| Patrick Sansone
    Aug 3 2025
    Larry Morrisey sits down with musician and Meridian native Patrick Sansone about his radio show “Baroque Down Palace,” which has recently been added to MPB Think Radio’s Saturday night music lineup (6 p.m. on Saturdays). Sansone features a wide range of music from the 1960s and 1970s that incorporates classical or orchestral elements as part of the arrangement. “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles is a well-known example, but Sansone delves deeper, playing music by legends of the era, as well as obscure “crate digger” record finds that he has collected over the years.
