PS - It is especially exciting for me to be presenting this broadcast because 20 years ago I attended not once but twice the premiere performance in New Hampshire of the "Loon Lake" Symphony and actually saw the lake after the performance as well. We spent a couple of wonderful days with Alan and his wife.  Unfortunately this lake is so damaged environmentally that no more loons can survive there.
