L&BH Radio Hour Nov. 18

My featured guests were Armando from Armando's in Martinez and Maria Billingsly from the Martinez Opera. Among other things I learned that the Martinez Opera is about two hundred years old, and has an educational program that brings opera to very young people and also the elderly. We also spoke about what's going on in downtown Martinez, California and what it takes to keep the doors open for live music at these venues.

I made some arts grants announcements, and played "Einstein's Mind" a story I originally recorded live on WBAI Radio about 10 years ago. At the end of the show Bill Vartnaw called in from Petaluma California to announce a reading with Q.R. Hand jr. in Sausalito on Wednesday night.
