Hi!

I just thought I'd tell you that I was interviewed by National Public Radio (NPR) for a newsmagazine program "Weekend Edition - Saturday" earlier today. The interview will be edited, probably mixed with some background music and, I was told, broadcast "live" this Saturday over NPR stations across the United States.

If you can't receive National Public Radio in your area or if you are busy living your life in another way (sleeping, for example) this Saturday morning and you'd like to hear the interview, there are 2 alternatives...

1. "Live" over the internet at the WNYC - New York website...
www.wnyc.org/indexPicks.html
between 0800-1000 (U.S. Eastern Time).
Pull up the page and click on the Ear Symbol on the lower left hand side of the page.

2. "Archived" over the internet at the National Public Radio (NPR) website...
http://www.npr.org/programs/wesat/
for up to 1 week after broadcast.
When you have the page in front of you, just click on "latest show." (The NPR site also allows you to search for a station which may be in your reception area.)

Listening via the internet requires a sound card, speakers and the computer program which you either have already or is available as a free download from WNYC and other stations.

With me in the studio were 2 of The Johnson Girls, Deirdre Murtha and Bonnie Milner. Deirdre led us in a lovely song from the Nantucket whalers. The topics of the interview were The New York Packet's sea music program at South Street Seaport Museum in New York City and, briefly, sea music in general.

All the best,
Dan Milner
