He's a great guy.
Having seen him in action at Stanford over the years (during summer festival & workshops) he's also really exceptional when it comes to motivating and inspiring student muscians.

[Mike Schwartz]

I'll continue to post that we broadcast on the web for the moment; that said we haven't streamed the past 3 weeks consecutively. Sorry for the inconvenience if you've tried to tune in. Have gotten all kinds of calls to the studio from regular listeners who miss receiving us on the WWW.

Summer at the university is a combination of misc. fix-up projects at the same time reduced staff and less communication than other times of the year. I'll try to find out what's up and post anything we find out regarding this.
