Music and conversation with Philip Glass
There's an urban legend about composer Philip Glass. The one about him driving a New York City cab just when his first opera was being staged at the Met. A passenger looked at his cabbie's license, and declared that he had the same name as a famous opera composer. Turns out, it's true. Glass says he didn't have the heart to tell her that famous composer was driving her home. Today and tomorrow, tune in for music and conversation with Glass from New York's Caspary Auditorium, hosted by Fred Child.
