John,
On Wings of Song will be broadcast tonight at 9:30pm EST: http://www.wqxr.org/schedule/2010/apr/12/
Will you please tell me where on your site the broadcast time is published for Wings of Song. i've looked on the Monday schedule and playlist and don't find it.
Is this related to your unwillingness to publish the content of broadcasts until they run? And why is it that you don't?
great concert!!
