You might be avoiding your NPR station this week (just pledge already!), but if you are, you would've missed a nice 7-minute interview with Kid Pan Alley founder Paul Reisler on this morning's Morning Edition.
I love this quote from the piece:

Linearly and logically? No wonder I'm a lousy songwriter.
(Here's my review of the Kid Pan Alley CD.)
