In defense of NPR, they did dedicate an hour of Performance Today the day
he died to his life and music.  And that evening on All Things Considered
there was a 10-minute piece about him as well.

Back to Karl Haas, I am one of those who is highly critical of his show,
but I still listen to it after all these years.  Mr. Kisch is quite right
about how Dr.  Haas tries to garner a large audience for his show, not just
playing to the hardcore CM buffs.  For all his quirks he's a treasure.
