It will be quite the party as we celebrate Presidents Day this morning on WPRB, what with the rhinoceri, Washington and Lincoln.
We’ll have a full playlist of presidential music, with works inspired by the Gettysburg Address, the legend of the cherry tree, and “George Washington slept here.” We’ll also have room for nods to some other presidents, including Chester Alan Arthur, who disliked “Hail to the Chief” so intensely that he commissioned John Philip Sousa to write a new piece.
Wasn’t the whole reason we tossed out the English because of their pedantic Oxford commas? Join me as we stick a feather in our cap and call it what we want, from 6 to 11 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. Our commas are nothing if not uncommon, on Classic Ross Amico.
