I’ve been given a bit of leeway to offer some great new packages for new subscribers, as well as deals on the booklet and our previous LP, The Widow’s Joy)…a good Xmas gift for someone you love? http://soundamerican.org/store … The proceeds going toward a print version of the journal and more money for interviewees.
