Audra McDonald, PBS Shill  Audra McDonald in Concert was on tonight as part of the PBS pledge drive. �Audra generously participated in pledge break interviews and urged viewers to donate money. �I always feel really guilty during PBS and NPR pledge drives, because I've never called in. �Hopefully when I get a job next year, I'll have some money to donate.

As for the concert, it was wonderful. �I have more respect for her as an actor now, because she interpreted the songs beautifully. �I got to hear many of my favorite tracks from her recent album, (including I Won't Mind). �But I just about blew my nut when the strains of Sondheim's So Many People started (it's my favorite Sondheim song and I didn't know that she was going to sing it).
