Phil Merkel of Captain Phil’s Planet has been very kind in inviting me onto his radio show this afternoon on WUSB – the radio station of Stony Brook University – to talk a bit about composers and musicians of Ukraine.

So I’ll be dropping by around 3:30/3:40 EST. Maybe we’ll even get to enjoy some music by Valentin Silvestrov and Mikola Lysenko. This is free-form radio, mind you, so if you tune in a little early, you might get an earful of Ukrainian metal! (It’s primarily a prog rock show.)

Then stick around! At 4:00, Roy Bjellquist will join us to help drum up interest in tomorrow night’s program of classic television themes on our Facebook livestream, Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.

Just putting it out there, in case you’re interested. You’ll get to hear us babble about music a bit. Maybe you’ll even have your interest piqued, so that you’ll want to check out some of the composers and performers who have contributed to making Ukraine such a rich cultural resource.
