(Jim, I don't think you're on this email list, but if you want to follow 
up, if nothing else, I'm sure Barbara will be happy to do the honors in 
fwding any comments to/from you.)

One of my dreams from last night: I was (dunno why) visiting David 
Letterman (really dunno why) in his apartment (presumably) in New York 
City, taking phone pics of the amazing (although geo incorrect) views from 
his full-wall windows... our conversation segued to his mentioning WBAI, a 
long-standing non-commercial NYC radio station (which I listened to, a 
bunch, back when I was a teen in NJ).

So I started telling Mr Letterman about the wire recorder (a precursor to 
the tape recorder, you can look it up) that I'd borrowed, decades ago, 
from Mel Most (I knew Mel's daughter, was visiting, saw it, he let me take 
it home to play with), and which, a few years ago, I'd passed on to Jim 
Freund, who had been and was still doing a show at WBAI ("Hour of the 
Wolf"). Jim recognized the machine as having originally belonged to WBAI, 
and that Mr Most had worked there. (Note, everything in this paragraph is 
true IRL.)

I was about to convey Jim's regards, or at least name-drop, to Dave 
Letterman, when, dreams being dreams, something shifted to some other 
scene, or our dog barked, whatever. Jim, I'm sure Dave woulda said hi 
back. And, come to think of it, I have no idea whether you two already 
know each other, but I'm thinking odds are good you do.

This isn't my first media dream, here's a blog post from some years back:
