May is "Take a Friend to Orchestra Month," a new initiative started by Drew McManus, author of the blog "Adaptistration" at Artsjournal.com, in order to bring newcomers to the concert hall. In the spirit of the month, Drew has taken host John Schaefer's brother Jerry to a concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Jerry has previously never been to an orchestral concert, busy as he is running a lumber yard in Queens. Today, we get Jerry's reaction to the experience when both he and Drew join us on the program. Also: a look at the staying power of rock 'n' Roll's biggest franchise: The Rolling Stones.
