Studs discusses his book AND THEY ALL SANG: Adventures of an Eclectic Disc Jockey.
"It is the only interview that I know of done with Studs where he discusses in detail his passion for opera and opera singers including Rosa Raisa, Lotte Lehmann, and "his" diva, Claudia Muzio. Studs also talks about his disc jockey days in general and the music editions of The Studs Terkel Program on WFMT. We play opera scenes with Raisa, Lehmann, Muzio, and a song by Woody Guthrie as well." -Andrew

Wow. This music is thrilling and inspiring to me, a dancer. The creative wheels are turning. Thank you for sharing!
Just heard gay gorillas on fmt, and it was beautiful, inspiring and powerful. Thank you for opening my ears up to such an excellent composer.
