I am moved nearly to tears. For the past few years, Andrew and I communicated, sometimes briefly, sometimes at length, nearly every day. I miss his wisdom, his kindness, his consideration–the very things Maestro Muti expressed so eloquently. Thanks to WFMT-FM and David Polk for this.

Andrew’s 2005 interview with Studs Terkel

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 Best of Studs Terkel on WFMT. We play opera scenes with Raisa, Lehmann, Muzio, and a song by Woody Guthrie as well." -Andrew
