It is supposed to air at 9pm on Friday night, but I can't find it on my local PBS station.

Almost half of the views I have on my Youtube channel are just for this clip of Nilsson singing the end of Siegfried live. The comments are fun to read. Nilsson still has a big audience! The rest of my speeches are my Toastmaster speeches, where opera plays second fiddle to the organist Cameron...
