  • Classical Music Radio Support Elmer Bernstein Special

    Classical Music Radio Support Elmer Bernstein Special

    Thank you all for your financial and moral support yesterday. While I doubt it will do much for me in terms of ensuring regular live air shifts, it was heartening to see so many familiar names. At the very least, your contributions help maintain a classical music presence on the radio, including specialty shows like “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord.”

    Speaking of “Picture Perfect,” the show will air at a special time this week, on account of the pledge drive. I hope you’ll join me this afternoon at 4 ET for a selection of film scores by Elmer Bernstein, including “The Magnificent Seven,” “The Age of Innocence,” “Stripes” and “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

    Next week, “Picture Perfect” will return to its regular time, Friday evening at 6. You can always enjoy it at http://www.wwfm.org. Shows are archived as webcasts for approximately three months following broadcast.

    Owl Jolson Richard Strauss Oops

    Don’t you hate when you write a time-sensitive Facebook post, and then you realize that you had your days mixed up and that you’re actually a week off? That’s precisely what happened to me when writing my appreciation of Richard Strauss to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth on June 11. This is a hazard of working in radio and as a journalist. Everything always has to be ahead.

    Anyway, since I’ve already wasted enough time this morning, here’s Owl Jolson.

    He loves to sing-a about the moon-a and the June-a and the spring-a.
