That time Bach met Frederick the Great – what a ball they had.

Only five days left until March 21st – Bach’s birthday! We at WWFM – The Classical Network would love to celebrate by sharing Bach’s music on that day, all day. But in order for us to do so, we need 500 altruistic music lovers to help make it happen.

Every March, we pitch the “Bach 500.” We request that 500 listeners step up and make a contribution IN ANY AMOUNT. When we reach that goal of 500 contributions, we immediately shut our pie holes and start spinning the platters like nobody’s business. No more talk of filthy lucre. Only pure enjoyment of some of the most transcendent music ever written.

In order to make this paradisal vision a reality, we need to have those 500 contributions in hand by March 21st. So if you’ve received a renewal notice in the mail, get your check in that return envelope and send it back to us ASAP! We’d like it to count toward this important goal.

Of course, you can contribute ANYTIME over the weekend at our website, wwfm.org. Click on “Donate.” You can also monitor our progress there by watching the mercury rise in the giant thermometer on the right side of the page. We’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is Bach!

Thank you in advance for your generosity, and here’s hoping that Thursday is a day of music, and not some bastardized version of a celebration interrupted by tiresome fundraising . Bach deserves more than that, and so do you!

Note to self: don’t use words like “pie hole” and “bastardized” in front of the king
