May the 4th be with you...and NPR. Raise your hand if you knew this: Back in 1981, the juggernaut that was Star Wars came to...NPR. How our network dove into the radio drama business...how George Lucas sold them the rights for a buck...and how sound engineers edited it all together the old-fashioned way (with a razor blade and sticky tape!)...right HERE.
Tiny Desk at The Blue Note. Talk about sublime: Take a renowned NYC jazz venue, add a legendary bassist, throw in a Tiny Desk...and magic happens. Take a listen as Ron Carter and his trio play some tunes for NPR's Tiny Desk at The Blue Note in Manhattan. Perfection.
And please...stay safe, friends.
