I had forgotten about this until UofC was mentioned. The interview is with Dennis Draina (sp?) of the National Institute of Deafness and Hearing Loss. Previous studies and the current UofC study, and the scientific basis of it, were discussed in this broadcast. For example they are using pure tone generated by computer to eliminate the possibility of "clues" from resonance of other strings when a piano is used for testing. They are also structuring the study to determine gradation of ability. I think this broadcast was about 6 minutes (I have a config. problem with RA right now so I can't check). Enjoy! ... Dan Plestid

Thanks for the information, Joe. For anyone who misses the program and has RealAudio (FREE download), all "Morning Edition" programs are archived, and you can listen to any segment of any program going back to 1995. Just go to
and click on the "Morning Edition" icon and you will get to the January 1998 calendar, where you can click on 30 (which will probably not be available until tomorrow). BTW, you can also go to the RealAudio home page from the address above to obtain the free software.
Happy listening!
