HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOZART!

This morning, we’ll honor the master over his preferred breakfast of hot chocolate and white rolls with an ebullient playlist including his “A Musical Joke,” the composer’s catalogue of compositional crimes.

Also on the program will be musical salutes by Victor Borge, Benny Goodman, Red Ingle, Florence Foster Jenkins, Raymond Scott, and others.

I hope you’ll join me for an hour of “Eine kleine Leichtmusik” on a special birthday edition of “Sweetness and Light,” this Saturday morning at 11:00 EST/8:00 PST, exclusively on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
