<div>I was driving home from work last week, listening to the
local NPR radio station, WAMU 88.5 FM. At the end of a news
story, the interlude music starts playing.<br

<div> WAMU has a new initiative, Capital Soundtrack, where
they play only local musicians for their interlude music. I
had submitted some of my music to them last year -- and<br
data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>forgot completely about it.<br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div><br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div> Truth be told, it would have been courteous for
them to send me an email alerting me that my music was being
used. (They don't use all the submitted music.)<br

<div data-marker="__SIG_POST__"> For those IPG'ers who
might be curious, here is the music of mine this radio station
was playing. It's an instrumental homage to Woody Guthrie --
titled Woody Speaks.<br>
</div>
<div data-marker="__SIG_POST__">In this piece, I tried to
capture Woody Guthrie's optimism -- and I rather surprised
myself at what came out.<br>

<div data-marker="__SIG_POST__"> The co-author of this
piece is someone I need to track down. He is the uncle of a
former guitar student of mine. This student was late for a
guitar lesson, so I told the uncle, Rico Livingston,<br

<div data-marker="__SIG_POST__">about this musical piece I was
working on -- and he spontaneously joined in on the church
organ at their house. Totally unrehearsed, I recorded this

<div data-marker="__SIG_POST__"> Words
cannot describe what it feels like to hear your own music on
the radio -- even if they play just 15 seconds of it. IPG got
talent.<br data-mce-bogus="1">
