Wayne on VPR

Wayne was invited by Music-Comp and Vermont Public Radio to be October's Student Composer Showcase.  

 I picked Wayne up from school early today and we drove down to the studio in Colchester. Kari Anderson gave us a tour of the historic building, explaining that it was once the veterinary hospital of old Fort Ethan Allen.  She showed us where they would bring the horses in (now the front door) and take them out the back.   She showed us the mug wall, where all the fund drive mugs are on display along with the framed original artwork  that eventually becomes the mug. She showed us the newsroom studio where a live broadcast was taking place. She even showed us the kitchen area and invited us to make ourselves at home and make a cup of coffee or tea if we wanted to. VPR is a very friendly and laid back place.

Wayne let me take just a couple of photos before kicking me out of the studio, so you will hear the interview as soon as I do!  He was in there for about 1/2 hour, but I know they edit the interview down to 6 or 7 minutes. It will air sometime in early October. I'll keep you posted!
