    I remember Cyro Baptista from Paul Simon's Concert in the Park, which I had on tape and now on DVD.

    I still play it after all of these years, and it is still fresh.

    Hey Soundcheck listeners-

    Are you aware that you can listen to John and his guests on FM and stream wnyc2 music on you computer?

    All computer in your situation? Well, I can actually launch one stream, e.g., Soundcheck, with one player, and wnyc2 in another player.
