Did anyone just hear "Theme for English B" ?

It was just read on the Garrison Keller "Prarie Home Companion" show. Here on KQED 88.5 FM.

2. Thanks for that. I edited my post.

That was great to hear. The reader talked about being at the White House. I got his name then a phone call and lost it... excuse me. If Garrison mentions it again I'll post it.
