Bruce P. Mahin

The composer writes: “One of the songs, “Eat or Be Eaten,” from my new musical comedy The Time Chronicles was featured on the NPR program 'Open Mic.' It can be heard by linking to the main NPR web site and then searching for Bruce Mahin. The 'Open Mic' page should come up as a link after the search.”
