I will pass that on, but I believe that this is
restricted to NPR members. WKHR is not a
Bolshevik organization and, so, chooses not to
participate in NPR. They do not do
news. Weather emergencies and traffic problems,
but that is the all of it. It is rather the
reverse of the Rollei List, where all we seem to discuss is politics!
These guys are really in a world of hurt. Your
$5 might allow me to keep listening through the
night Better yet, it will allow YOU to keep listening.
I have never asked you guys for any contributions
since we shifted over to Freelists and I quit
doing the Brian Reid fundraisers. That was what,
six years back? Well, get off your bottomsides,
you ward-heelers and worthless souls! Make your
lives of some merit! Quit beating your slaves
long enough to write a check. <he grins>
Shucks, I would hope that Mark Rabiner, that fan
of Hip-Hop and whatever is passing for music
today, will contribute. And I can go on, but I
shall not do so: names do not matter, but money does.
This station is close to being out of
business. It is unique in the world. It is a
non-NPR publicly supported station. They get NO
government or state or local funds. They are an
outgrowth of a High School program and they still
rent space there for their studio and provide
training for students as on-air jocks -- and,
yes, they are shocked at the names of some of the
performers and mangle them. So what? They are
learning. We are learning, and the music is
every bit as sweet as it ever was, albeit the
name of the producer was mis-spoke.
And Richard Knoppow might like to know that on
Sundays, from 8 to 10 Eastern Time, WKHR runs a
Sunday Evening Bijou of old radio shows. I have
had a LONG argument with Bob Wilkin, the
producer, but he recently has started running
more than Jack Benny and Bing Crosby and Bob Hope
shows. He actually ran a RICHARD DIAMOND episode
the other night that I had previously not
heard. It was not one of the best, but, what the
hey, it is always a delight to find a radio
episode you previously have not enjoyed. Richard
knows nothing of BLAIR OF THE MOUNTIES, I suspect ...
Anyway, you slackers, get off your duffs and give
a bit to WKHR. For me. You guys STILL have
never bought me a 2.8FX despite my mothering of
the List, but so be it. Many on the Rollei List
must be frustrated at their inability to buy me
such a camera. I can give you an alternate which
I would really appreciate: send $5 or $10 $500
towards a 2.8FX to some amorphoush and non-existent fund on my behalf.
Thank you!
Marc
