     And I'm Michele Norris.  Christopher O'Riley is at it again
with a new release called Home to Oblivion. O'Riley is a
classical pianist with a love of rock and roll that borders on
obsession. He was so taken with the British alt rock group
Radiohead that he recorded two entire albums of his classical
translations of their work. When performing, he now incorporates
those compositions in his classical repertoire.  His latest CD
is a tribute to Elliott Smith, the singer-songwriter who died in
2003 of an apparent suicide. Smith never achieved real stardom,
but his melancholy songs attracted a cult following after an
Academy Award nomination for Miss Misery, a song that appeared
on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack.  O'Riley sat down at the
piano in studio 4A to talk about his tribute to Elliott Smith.
He says his fascination with the artist began with this song,
Speed Trials.  (Soundbite of Elliott Smith's Speed Trials)
