    Over the weekend, I found myself in the mood to bake. As you might have noticed from this column, I’m not always a big baker, but this time I had special cause. My husband, Austin, had a fairly intense medical procedure the week before last – completely out of the blue. Monday he was fine, Tuesday he noticed something was off, Wednesday we saw three doctors, and then on Thursday we were told to come to the hospital for an outpatient surgery. What an absolute whirlwind it was. Last week he spent

But that’s what 12-year-old Virgil Hawkins did last weekend, after releasing his first album, “Don’t Forget,” under the name Puppeteer Ava. “I recorded it all in my bedroom,” he said. “I don’t really mess with anything. No effects really. You can hear the washing machine in the background.” “I’m very inspired by early to mid-2000s indie guitar,
