PODCAST MUSIC
Don shared a few videos with me to include in this episode. The first two are from a feature on Fox 5 Broadcast News - the quality isn’t the best as they were recorded on VHS and then later digitized, but I think they’re so fun so wanted to include them! The last clip is a performance by the Army Orchestra of Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Four Winds. Enjoy!
