Hi all;
Yesterday I ran across a NPR feature from July of '98 on the shakuhachi
festival in
Boulder. And I remembered that someone was asking about where they
could get
a transcript or tape of it. Check out the NPR web site at
www.npr.org, and check
out the All things Considered archive. You can listen to the real
audio program as well
as order tapes. It is the last story in the feature that day.
Couldn't remember who was asking about it, but thought could send it to
this e-group
and would get out there.
