You know how it is, I hope. Personal and holiday obligations have a way of burning through dates on an Advent calendar.
Nearly two days after the fact, I wanted to take a break from attempted Christmas shopping in order to thank those of you who supported The Classical Network during our annual Beethoven Bash. Thanks to you, and listeners just like you, we were able to reach our fundraising goal of $8,000 before the end of the day on Friday.
I hope you will take especial pleasure in the music this time of year, knowing that you did your part to make it possible. Personally, I always take extra care when putting together my playlists in the days leading up to Christmas. Enjoy holiday favorites, both jolly and meditative, during the course of my air shifts in the coming afternoons (4:00-7:00 pm M, W, F, and 12:00-4:00 p.m. Tues.). It is my gift to you, brought to you courtesy of the generous support of WWFM listener-members.
What’s that, you say? Didn’t have a chance to pledge? Still looking for a gift for that certain music-lover? We’ve still got some of those 12-CD box sets of Beethoven’s orchestral works, all eager for a last-minute ride in Santa’s sleigh, for your donation of $120. You’ll find it, and a list of other options, by clicking on our “Thank You Gift” drop-box here:
Happy birthday, Beethoven! Thanks again, all the warmth and good cheer of the season, and best wishes for a new year of great music from WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
