Review of Music At Sea

Great April 15 Anniversary Piece! With the 94th anniversary of the sinking of the Titantic coming up in the days ahead, here's a short segment that very well fits the day with historical facts and voices.
I respectfully disagree with an earlier evaluation. I felt the transitions all worked fine for what this piece has to say about the history of the music and the musicians aboard the Titanic's fatal voyage. The interview with the Captain who obviously knew his history well really grabs ear. This one just whet my appetite to hear a little more on this subject. -- a good way to leave an audience (wanting more!). Come again, my dear!
