"Just
wanted to let you know I was able to access your newly upgraded
webstream for The Sounds of Brazil last night and it worked
wonderfully! The music is so beautiful. I've told a number
of people about 'The Sounds of Brazil' and told them that
although they may not understand a single word, it doesn't
matter because the music really is beautiful. My only regret
is not having 'discovered' the program years sooner! Thanks
so much for your help and for personally reaching out to
me."

get caught up!... [Pop/New
