Thanks John for sharing the WMMT piece! (check’s in the mail.) And also for the
Music Man Soundcloud link: I hate that the Beeb has geofenced Sounds, and
BBC.com <http://bbc.com/> (purportedly for the rest of the world) is
ridiculous…a big mess. The Music Man piece which was for Radio 3 never showed
up there. WS programs seems to be the main ones that do.
