Monday we'll have Theodore Dreiser's incredible story The Lost Phoebe, and on Wednesday, Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum. Believe it or not, when this episode of The Pit and the Pendulum was originally released, The Classic Tales Podcast was the #3 podcast in all of iTunes (Apple Podcasts) not just fiction, but in ALL podcasts, in between This American Life and Car Talk. Times have changed, and I'm glad we've kept up, to some extent. If you'd like more Vintage Episodes, head on over to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com and let us know one way or another. And thanks for your support! Today's story is about a gifted musician who fell in love, and eloped to the frontier, forsaking her promising career as a professional musician. It's interesting to think of this time when her life was wholly unconnected. Talk about off the grid. No internet, television, movies, or even a band concert. Hymns in church – that's entertainment. Beautifully written by the great Willa Cather, A Wagner Matinee takes us to a simpler time, while still capturing much of the darker complexities we don't want to talk about. And now, A Wagner Matinee, by Willa Cather.
