Good luck.
I had to do three takes.
CCB
p.s.- I only got $125.00. CBC is not too loose with the purse-strings.
Should I be nervous? What if I freeze? What if I say something stupid? What if I misrepresent something? What if I say something wrong? What if I start crying live on the radio?
No Problem....
....business as usual! Rob Atkinson

Good luck today on CBC. WE WILL ALL BE LISTENING!
and just incase you need something to talk about, I have pulled some notes for you on one of CBC's favourite topics on All in a Day:Throat Warbling. Mating rituals of the east nairobi dung beetle may be to salacious for radio. Enjoy!
Tuvan throat-singing, or Khoomei, is a type of harmonic singing and chant.
All styles of Tuvan Khoomei involve controlled tension in and manipulation of the diaphragm, throat, and mouth. However, there are great differences between the different types of throat-singing; for example, some styles are multiphonic whereas other styles are not. Even this description must take into consideration the hearing, or conditioned hearing of the listener as much as the intention and execution of the singer.
There is no real consensus on Khoomei categories; this is a complicated issue due to a number of confusing factors. For one thing, affecting western scholars, there have to date been very few texts about Khoomei in Western European languages. The most commonly cited source was translated from Tuvan Folk Music, a book published in 1964 by A. N. Aksenov, a Russian composer who surveyed Tuvan Khoomei styles in the 1940-50s.
There are major discrepancies between Aksenov's descriptions and other older sources, and those of other more contemporary observers, and several plausible explanations. One is that Aksenov's survey of Tuvan styles was limited in scope, though he was a highly educated and skilled composer and musician, who seemed to take his research most seriously. Although a definite factor, it is also apparent that there has been an appreciable development and metamorphosis of common Khoomei styles since Aksenov's time. Also, many performances now include mixtures of styles much more extensively than in the past. Whereas many singers in the old days tended to sing mostly in one or two styles, and there was greater regional differentiation, many modern singers perform in numerous styles, hybrids, and develop their own takes on "the classics."
So, although there is no widespread agreement, many contemporary Khoomei cognoscenti designate three or five major styles:
1. Khoomei
2. Kargyraa
3. Sygyt
4. Borbangnadyr
5. Ezengileer
As noted below, #4 and 5, Borbangnadyr and Ezengileer are sometimes considered to be proper styles, and sometimes to be ornamentations added to Khoomei, Kargyraa, or Sygyt. I would add to the top of the list Xorekteer, as it underlies most of the various styles
