It’s Memorial Day. At the tail end of a very wet holiday weekend, and a limiting year of pandemic, you probably can’t wait to cut loose with the burgers and the quoits and the three legged-races and the gumboot tosses; but I hope you’ll also take a moment to reflect on our comparative good fortune, and those who laid down their lives in the conviction they were defending our interests and securing our safety. We honor our fallen, even as we pray for peace.

I’ll be on the air LIVE for the first time in well over a year this morning, but it won’t be through the source you might expect. Instead, I’ve been invited to provide color commentary for Captain Phil on WUSB, the radio station of Stony Brook University, as he hosts a program of music for Memorial Day. Among some of the selections we’ve discussed are works by Kimo Williams, Aaron Copland, John Williams, Jay Ungar, and Romeo Cascarino. Listen today at 11:00 am EDT.

WUSB plays all kinds of music, so don’t be thrown if you tune in and happen to hear blues or progressive rock.

You’ll find the gray play button at the upper left-hand side of the screen, once you follow the link to wusb.fm.
