for NPR News, I'm Chris Butler.

Always wanted to say that…and today I got my chance. This morning, I taped a shortened version of the Bebe Bleue story. I think I did okay…we shall see if it actually airs (if I get an air date, I’ll pass it along)…but it was enough of a thrill to be able to say those words into a Neumann U87 with those three letters on it.

Thanks, AS.

The original version is still available:
