Just for fun, Classical Idol on WQED-FM

I know sometimes I come across as overly serious and always talking about spiritual and profound elements of music. But at the end of the day, I do see music as fun, and a recent project will prove that I do indeed have a sense of humor about music.

Our local classical music station, WQED-FM asked me to participate in a series of goofy promotional spots, and I dove into it. In a quasi American Idol style, I will appear in spots as one of several local classical-music 'experts' who are judging which great composers are 'better' than the others and which will move on in the 'competition.' They recorded me saying some silly stuff that played off the composers' bios and their compositional hallmarks -- such as Haydn's wit or Brahms' fear of Beethoven.

I hope you tune in to hear them, just don't take this  seriously yourself; it's all in fun to help raise $ for the station.
