FUNDER TRANSCRIPT "Hi, I'm flutist and conductor Ransom Wilson. Now, please note I said flutist - not flautist. I'm on a campaign to get everyone to stop using that other word. We're flute players and as my late teacher Jean-Pierre Rampal used to say, 'I play the flute, NOT the flaut.' I'm equally passionate about something else: supporting classical music on Public Radio. Classical music is heard on your Public Radio station only because of your financial contribution. Please help me eliminate the flaut and keep the flute on Public Radio. Make a pledge. Thanks."

SUGGESTED HOST OUTRO Please call (insert station phone number), or make your contribution online at (insert station web address).
