After cajoling, the BBC Radio 3 programme listeners' choice is going to play
some of Pound's first opera 'La Testament du Villon' between 2-4pm on
Saturday the eleventh. Doubtless they will also read out my embarrassing
letter. If you're not in Britain and want to hear it, you can point your
browser @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/classical/listeners.shtml

Where I'm pretty sure you can listen to it live. Hope someone hereon finds
some joy in Pound's work, even if it is only an extract.

   Best,

     Richard
