I’ve been robbed–ROBBED–I say! Celeste, a long time commenter and reader of this blog, pointed out to me that National Public Radio (NPR) has taken one of my old posts and stolen it, without reference, without a “hat tip,” without anything, in their feature entitled “Playing Five Beats To The Measure.”  My post entitled “5/4″ obviously is the victim of an NPR five-finger discount. Now it stands to reason with NPR you’re going to get a much more polished product than with lil’ ol’ me, but the spirit of my post clearly comes through, and with the added literary/dramatic touch of a second, autobiographical voice feeling an “odd” kinship with this asymmetric time signature.

I invite you to read mine first, then see the NPR feature. Afterwards, tell me whether or not mine gives those thieves a run for their money!  heh
