[Membroj] In the Land of Invented Languages

[Ralph Dumain]

I made notes on the radio broadcast, which I will type up when I get 
a chance. The discussion was quite respectful towards Esperanto and 
towards the whole realm of artificial languages. Two musical 
interludes featured a punk rock song in Esperanto (the title or the 
group was "Esperanto-Desperado") and an Esperanto rendition of "Send 
in the Clowns" by Alberta Casey (whom I recall meeting some decades ago).
