I’m usually doing my annual Halloween show about now, playing classic Halloween songs and greeting trick or treaters at the door. This year I was doing all of the begging and pleading because Fine Arts Radio was practicing the fine art of fundraising! So with my penchant for throwing subtlety to the wind, I played an evening of duets and duos to urge listeners to put their money where my mouth is. (Making it clear to the more eager in my audience that I was only stating a metaphor.)
