There and gone. Before and after. A perfect morning, the worst day. "A failure of imagination." 9/11. That day is full of the debris of cliche, and images, pain, anger and loss. Some of the best radio pieces related to 9/11 come from The Kitchen Sisters. PRX is offering an exclusive new documentary about the New York City Police Department from John Rudolph. Look for that soon. Scan the entire collection of memories and sound.
Our lives go on. Labor Day. School begins again. Music helps close out the open expanse of Summer's warmth. Relish the sound of living.
Connect,
-John
