[wisconsin] FW: Documentary with blind musician Henry Butler and students, on Milwaukee Public TV

[Steve Heesen]

Very interesting. Thanks for forwarding Dave. I hope it goes well. Not only 
do they not have any money for marketing, but the show is right up against 
the nationally televised Packer Viking game. That'd be a tough sell indeed, 
with or without money!

Have a nice weekend.

Steve
