FUNDER TRANSCRIPT "Hello, I'm Ransom Wilson. Great music has a way of demanding our attention. Sometimes you're connected immediately from the very first note, while other pieces slowly grow on you until you stop what you're doing and just listen. As a flutist and conductor, I appreciate the opportunity to help create those "stop what you're doing" musical moments on the radio. During this important fundraising period, I'd appreciate you taking just a moment to become a member of your Public Radio station. With your contribution, you'll help create many attention-getting moments in the future. Thanks."
