YES, YES YES.  Even if it weren't recorded in our town I would be vitally interested. It is essential and we will be doing the full court press on it.  We're big-dealing it on Lincoln's Birthday, and have already used part of it three times. We won't rest easy until every household in Spokane has one.

We ARE one of the sites of the Lincoln-Douglas debates and are doing a fair bit for Lincoln's Birthday so we sure can oblige on this one. I'll fit a piece in today and then on ‘Gallery’ on Saturday, and find some other slots through the weekend for a start. I'll also ensure it gets in Intermezzo for Monday. This is a well written, well executed, approachable piece that will be popular with listeners.
