A concert of special interest to this list will air nationwide in the USA at
9 p.m. EST on WETA-FM radio. Dan Leeson wrote about the Library of
Congress's online package, but I didn't realize until I went to the website
that this concert is also being broadcast on the radio.

Dan wrote,

I went to the concert--every bit as outstanding as Dan says! Dan, thanks
for the heads-up.
