October 12-22, GPB's Fall 2007 Fund Drive
Well, it's been thrilling to hear from listeners in recent days. If you inadvertently let the final day of the drive slip by without calling, you can still contribute online and be factored into the total, as we inch as close to that overall goal as possible. Thank-you gifts are listed here as well. Thanks so much for supporting public radio for Georgia and playing a vital role on the GPB team.
Late but not forgotten, below are condensed Midday Music playlists from the past week. In addition to the works listed, I also sprinkled in many selections from CDs offered as thank-you gifts: Handel's Messiah (with Boston Baroque on Telarc) and the Menus and Music CD-and-cookbook sets.
