A top committee in the Southern Baptist Convention is facing mounting pressure from within the denomination over issues related to sexual abuse. Many seminary presidents, state leaders and pastors want the Executive Committee to stop delaying and act. They want the committee to accept the terms of a third-party investigation into how it handled sexual abuse allegations. Those terms include the Executive Committee waiving its attorney-client privilege for the investigation. Attempts to waive it have failed so far and pushback is growing.

We continue the Monday rebroadcasts of our American Popular song series, with a program about composer Will Marion Cook. He was born in 1869 and was part of the first generation born after slavery. Cook was one of the innovators of ragtime song, and helped introduce ragtime to Broadway. Cook wrote In Dahomey the first full-length Broadway musical written and performed by African Americans. It opened on Broadway in 1903. Some of Cooks songs reflect the racial stereotypes and dialect of the time. In this program we hear selections of his music performed by singers VERNEL BAGNERIS and TERRY BURRELL, and pianist DICK HYMAN. We also hear from MARVA CARTER who is writing a biography of Cook. She is the director of Graduate Studies at the School of Music at Georgia State University. (original broadcast: MAY 18, 2000)12:28:30 FORWARD PROMO (:29)12:29:00 I.D. BREAK (:59)12:30:00...

A live concert in the WHYY Forum with clarinetist and jazz musician DON BYRON and his "Bug Orchestra." On their new recording "Bug Music" (Elektra Nonesuch) they play the music of The Raymond Scott Quintette, John Kirby & His Orchestra, and the Duke Ellington Orchestra. BYRON has become best known for playing klezmer, but musically he's all over the map: He plays jazz with his Don Byron Quintet, modern classical music with the Semaphore quintet, and he toured Europe with Music for Six Musicians, an Afro-Cuban ensemble. One of BYRON's earlier recordings is "Don Byron Plays the Music of Mickey Katz," (Elektra Nonesuch).
