I hope the rain stops, but neither sleet nor snow nor rain nor a dead generator will keep me away from the Columbus Arts Festival. WOSU and Classical 101 will be there tomorrow and Saturday. We'll be on Civic Center Drive near Rich Street. Classical 101 By Request will broadcast live from the Arts Festival tomorrow from 1 to 3 pm. Come by and say hello. Be sure to take part in the fried dough, beads, bangles and baubles and Mozart, Haydn, Brahms and hopefully a pretty day. Some mystery guests will join me for brief chats live on air. You'll hear more about what's coming up in our terrific arts community. See you tomorrow at The Columbus Arts Festival. Here's a favorite request: http://youtu.be/5PYt2HlBuyI
