Not for any particular reason, this week on “Sweetness and Light,” we’ll be springing off from the show’s signature tune, “Puppets on Parade” by Rudolf Friml, to enjoy an hour of music about – well, puppets. We’ll hear works by Leroy Robertson, John Foulds, Paul Hindemith, Ernst Toch, and Bohuslav Martinu, among others. Punch and Judy, Pinocchio, the malevolent foxtrotting Christmas puppet Tuttifäntchen – we’ve got no strings to hold us down, on “Sweetness and Light,” this Saturday morning at 11:00 EST/8:00 PST, exclusively on KWAX, the radio station of the University of Oregon!
