Show Notes
Alan J. Tomasetti is back producing this episode of PorterFlute Pod ! This time he has Amy Porter go LIVE in search of 7 people titled Grande Dames appearing in a round table discussion at the National Flute Association convention in Atlanta. Amy goes a bit astray by interviewing other women along the way that she would call Grande Dames... but in the end she finds four of the listed: Bonita Boyd, Zart Dombourian Eby, Lillian Burkart and Sheryl Cohen.
