Craig Maynard, host of Core Memory Music, has been interviewed several times by Mike Maino of WCRI Classical 95.9, the classical music radio station for southern Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. These interviews turned out rather well so we decided to share them here. The music heard during the interviews are excerpts from the listed recordings.
