FUNDER TRANSCRIPT
"My first cello was a box of Rice Krispies with strings drawn on the box and the end pin was an old tooth brush. A little imagination and a good set of crayons can go a long way. I’m cellist Alisa Weilerstein. Your contribution to your Public Radio station goes a long way to ensure classical music will be here to enjoy for a long time to come. Please call or go online – and thank you."
