Tell Me A Story
On this episode of Concerts Plus, host Robert Sherman and guests treat listeners to an evening of musical storytelling in a program of live music and conversation. Martin Bookspan hosts the intermission feature.
This program was broadcast live before a studio audience in the WQXR Concert Theater.
Note: This recording contains an additional fifty minutes of performances and conversation which were never broadcast.
From host Robert Sherman's notes:
Children of all ages love a good story, and when it has good music too, our delight is doubled. Multiply that by our three broadcast fables and a couple more in our bonus pertod, and it should be an evening of astronomically high pleasure. Anyway, once upon a time...
