Comment: On Monday, September 8th, 2014, I left work early and headed with my Sony hand-held digital recorder to the sight of the former World Trade Center towers. Once there, I did twelve short interviews with random people, trying to tap into what those individuals felt about the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. It's been 13-years since that fateful September morning. Still, strong emotions surface when people are asked to remember where they were, what they were doing, and how the experience touched their llives. Thanks for joining me for this 9-11 Editiion of The Dusty Show.

Comment: I hope you enjoyed this edition of The Dusty Show on WFMU. It's always gratifying to return to Ground Zero and collect the thoughts and feelings of tourists, New Yorkers, and actual eyewitnesses to the attacks of 9-11. It was a bit of a challenge executing this episode as all interviews were edited on a laptop and then bounced one-at-a-time to cassette. Likewise, all the newsbytes were recorded to cassette, so I spent the whole of my airtime juggling cassettes and LPs, cueing them up as I went. It went by very fast. Always remember those who perished in the attacks of 9-11. Years pass, but the pain and immediacy of it is very real for so many who still live and miss their friends and relatives. Peace. Love.
