Hey Bill -
Just got back in. Thanks so much for tuning in and glad you enjoyed it!!
Hmmm- should of realized that the voices wouldn't come through unless we leaned in towards the mics since we never went into the control room for the interview interludes - we just sat in our seats in the live room, They just had close mics on our instruments - although really nice ones at that - TLM 170's on the cellos and KM84's on the violin & viola. With how quick we had to set up for this thing I was just glad some care was taken towards actually trying to get the instruments to sound good - but guess they forgot to think about making sure our voices would come through also. They don't call it "WFMU - home of dead air!" for nothin

Actually I was pretty impressed with how smoothly & quickly the dj/engineer, Irene Trudell got everything going - she was micing us up in between cueing up cuts.
Anyway - WFMU is probably one of my favorite stations in the world - it's one of the last independent truly free form stations where the dj completely decides what to play and can hop genres and play obscure stuff at will. It was mighty fun getting a chance to play live on it again.
