New Sounds

How lovely it is walking around my neighborhood every day, saying hello to people bringing their kids home from the bus, walking their dogs (like me), raking leaves. When I run out of NPR podcasts--Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, Fresh Air, This American Life, etc. -- I've started listening to New Sounds from WNYC in New York. It's a great mashup of traditional instruments and modern experimentation. The world is one on New Sounds. Sometimes it is really phenomenal, and the host, John Schaefer, is great. When I lived in The City, I went to his live tapings. By listening while I walk, I am experiencing my Bethesda present with my eyes and nose and my past and the rest of the world with my ears. Anyway, check it out.
