Music 101 for Saturday 2 May 2009
It's NZ Music Month, so we'll play even more good local tunes than usual, including some interesting requests from musicians.

At 4:10 pm 'See Me, Feel Me' - The Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre
In Maori mythology, Hine Raukatauri - daughter of Tane Mahuta - is the goddess of music and dance.
Hine Raukatauri is also the namesake of the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre, New Zealand's first music therapy centre. The Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre was established to work with special needs children, with music therapists using voice and musical instruments to initiate musical dialogue. In 'See Me, Feel Me', Sam Wicks spends time at RMTC's Auckland City headquarters, talking to therapists, students and musicians who are involved in the centre's work.
And we have a double live session from up-and-coming local acts Dear Time's Waste and Yule.
