Of interest to GPB music fans: Though you might still hear Terrance McKnight's voice on Studio GPB for now, those are actually reruns. Terrance pulled up stakes last month to become an evening host at WNYC in a little town called New York. A meaty article about Terrance appeared in yesterday's New York Times. "Eclectic Public-Radio Show Has Found Its Voice."
If it's dark and wet where you are today, keep your spirits dry with the three big symphonic works on Midday Music.
