My apologies to those listening to the "live" broadcast. The CKCU computer started the show 15 minutes late and cut the first 30 minutes. Click on "Listen Now" to hear the show from the beginning.

I was wondering what was happening. Then I clicked listen now and got the show from the beginning. David Amram is my number 1 musical hero.
