Bill's latest commentary on NPR's All Things Considered, 9/09

Tonight (Monday 9/14/09) on National Public Radio, All Things Considered is playing a story about my learning experience with the National Anthem at a minor league ball game (yay, McCoy Stadium and the Pawsox!). You can listen tonight during the show (not sure which segment, sorry..) or go here www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112484915. Please comment and spread it around - they need to know that these little stories add something to the broadcast. Some people hate 'em. Some love 'em. Like someone at NPR said to me years ago - "There's two parties here - those that do the hard news and those that want to have fun - guess which one you belong to?"

Well, I want both, I guess, but I know my job.

UPDATE:

Just got a message from my producer at NPR that a news item bumped my piece (What’s that about? What do they think this is, a news show or something?) But so many people had already commented they’re leaving it up on the web. You can still see it there. So thanks for taking a look.
Maybe tomorrow.
Then again, maybe not.
