Texas Public Radio Texas Public Radio reporter Terry Gildea filed a story for NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday.

Rough Road For Military Families With Special Needs : NPR

Deployments are usually hard on families. Spouses must become single parents for months on end, managing households with little outside help. These challenges become even more daunting for families with special needs children.

50 Great Voices: Help Us Choose : NPR
Source: www.npr.org
In January 2010, NPR will launch a year-long exploration of 50 great voices in recorded history. The series isn't an attempt to catalog the so-called "greatest" singers. Instead, we hope to discover and re-discover awe-inspiring vocalists from around the world and across time. ...

Nathan Cone writing: Yeah, wouldn't it be great to hear them all on the same tune? I had a hard time choosing five, started to go for the different genres thing, but ultimately went with the voices that moved my heart and spirit, and chose Willie Nelson first!

Check out Jeff Wayne's musical tribute and version of War of Worlds. It is a two CD set. CD one is excellent. The second CD may disappoint. Richard Burton narrates.

Texas Public Radio Pink Martini on Morning Edition this morning.

Pink Martini: A Tale Of Two Songs : NPR
Source: www.npr.org
The songs "And Then You're Gone" and "But Now I'm Back" began as one, with a little help from Franz Schubert. With some ingenious songwriting and a little help from NPR's Ari Shapiro, together the songs tell the tale of a love lost — and perhaps won again.

Texas Public Radio Great first listen for KPAC listeners.

First Listen: Cecilia Bartoli's 'Sacrificium' : NPR
Source: www.npr.org
Inspired by the emotionally charged and virtuosic music of the Baroque era, the adventurous mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli's new CD is devoted to the dazzling music associated with the age of the castrati. Hear the album in its entirety for the week leading up to its Oct. 27 release.

In the last few years TPR had challenges designed to encourage (i.e., reward) online giving. Seemingly to promote the trend and take up less air time. If we gave our permission, could you post the names of us silent preemptive members on Facebook or somewhere? We are like green members who don't add to the onerous on-air drag-it-out-of-me talk. I just didn't hear you really pushing that this year. (But the FB pix helped personalize the campaign, and this was a good drive.)

@Judith: You're right, every fall we've usually had a "web pledge challenge" from a foundation. That didn't happen for us this year, though we do encourage web pledging, especially in advance of the on-air drive.

It's my pleasure. I listen to KSTX almost full-time while I'm in the car. Now I can have a sense of pride of knowing that I'm helping to keep them on the air!

Texas Public Radio #39 on the KPAC 100 is Debussy's "Clair de Lune." We thought you might enjoy seeing this deleted scene from Walt Disney's "Fantasia," featuring the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stokowski.

This is a deleted scene from Walt Disney's Fantasia. It is a really nice calm mood piece. (May get taken down, F.Y.I.)

Kim, we'll meet again soon at a TPR event, I'm sure! I love talking movies, especially Disney. And since I love classical music, too, Fantasia and its sequel, Fantasia 2000, are favorites!

PJ, one of my favorite CDs at home is Stokowski leading the Houston Symphony in Shostakovich's Symphony #11. An amazing, hauting, cinematic performance!
