Iegor Reznikoff, Vézilay, France
This is the story about Iegor Reznikoff, a 70-year-old French professor whose song soars inside cathedrals and caves. He signs his emails, "Light and joy." I visited a cave in early July 2008 in Burgundy, France with Reznikoff and an American skeptic named David Lubman. Have a listen to my first piece that aired on The World. Read the full description.
