Bonus: pre-concert talk with former US Attorney John McKay

Also available on YouTube is a pre-concert discussion between composer Melissa Dunphy, conductor Justin Raffa, and former US Attorney John McKay, who was fired by US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in 2006. His dismissal, which is referenced in the Cantata ("What is One to Think?") was one of the catalysts for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings which led to Gonzales's eventual resignation.
