Good for you. The point about WKHR is that they
are NOT NPR and are not FOX and have no political
agenda. They do not do news. They just do
music. Give us a break and let's not get off on
another tangent. I only ask our Rollei people to
give a contribution to the only surviving public
broadcasting station in the US. WKHR is the
background music for my existence, 24/7, they
play Big Band and Swing. This is a unique
station and deserves to be preserved just as do
British Buttner Pipe Reamers and Whitowrth
Threads. I have never before asked the Rollei
Folks to contribute and I usually get offended
when someone asks this Scottish-heritage soul to
give, but, well, this is my home station, for the
all of it, and they receive, unlike NPR, not one
dime of gummit funding. Just the music, ma'am,
and nothing more, as Jack Webb would have said,
back in the day. Richard Knoppow can tell us all
about Jack Webb and his various radio shows
(there were three of them) and his various
side-kicks (I believe there were three of them,
though Richard understands the transition from
the radio 'DRAGNET" to the TV "DRAGNET" much better than I do.
In the end, I simply ask you to give money to WKHR at <http://www.wkhr.org>
Be well, Rollei People!
