America: Our Country, Our Music
From Charlie Warren
| 00:58:28
Producers: Charlie Warren
This fully pre-recorded program is in two formats:
Format 1: Continuous 58 minutes with two music bed breaks. These beds are unique instrumentals so that no live material is necessary.
Format 2: A 58:30 version split into three segments. The first two segments end with :60 music beds for live station announcements.
My other 4th of July special, a 12-minute sound retrospective of American life, can be found here: http://www.prx.org/pieces/26403.
