CLIP TRANSCRIPT "Hello, I'm pianist Anne-Marie McDermott. If you're like me, there's always a long list of things to do each day: grocery shopping, checking e-mail, returning phone calls, paying bills, walking the dog. On a good day, things get done in priority order. On other days, well quite frankly, the easy things get done first. Right now you can take care of something that is both of great importance and easy to do. You can help keep classical music on Public Radio. You know your gift will make a difference, and the call will take just two minutes of your time. Then, take a break from your to-do list and enjoy the music. You deserve it. Here's how to pledge, and thank you.

SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO Please call (insert station phone number), or contribute online at (insert station web address). As Anne-Marie McDermott says, it only takes about two minutes to make your contribution. And with that short investment of time, you'll continue to receive long-term enjoyment of classical music on (insert station name).
