Silence = Panic

In a radio station, there are monitors throughout the office so we can hear the station outside the control room. One of our board operators who works outside of normal business hours has a habit of turning down all the monitors, which causes panic to anyone in the station because it makes us think we're off the air.

I told him, it's the equivalent of an art museum security officer removing all the art from the walls at the end of his shift. He's not convinced.

On Tuesday's "First Program," following the Sousalarm at 6:55, I'll play from our Choice CD of Mendelssohn trios featuring Ax, Perlman and Ma. The Movie Quiz prize at 9:25 a.m. Eastern Time is a pair of tickets to the Shaw Festival to see one of three shows: "An Ideal Husband," "The Women," or "The Doctor's Dilemma."

Don't forget: If you can't stick around for the Movie Quiz answer, I post the answer on Twitter. Go to www.twitter.com/queenofthemorn.
