Really?????? The Smithsonian is doing that? As it turns out my eventually to be brother in law works at the Smithsonian as the editor in chief of an online magazine for music they just started. I'll have to ask him if he was aware of this, I'm sure he would want to know that folks outside the U.S can't access his mag.

What's he supposed to do there? Does the guy have any musical training?

Yeah it's weird. I _can_ see the 2nd video that's hosted on youtube, but not the first video.

That is bizarre indeed. I tried to see if I could find this on youtube for you but no luck.

Yes he has a masters in Musicology I believe. He interned at the Smithsonian and has a lot of experience with networking, plus he is bilingual (which they were looking for in that position for some reason) My sister just earned her PHD in Musicology but so far hasn't been able to find a job yet... well apparently she's working as an adjunct professor at some college in DC. Right now, she's just another vagabond in the realm of academia.
