    Thank you for the flowers.

    I’m speaking figuratively, of course. Maybe it was my pep talk using the skull of St. Valentine.

    Whatever the case, we were successful in making our goal yesterday. We crossed the finish line last night with about ten minutes to spare and managed to mop up the shortfall from last month’s Mozart campaign. So it’s celebratory bonbons for breakfast this morning.

    As we get back to our regular programming, please enjoy it in the knowledge that it’s made possible because of concerned and engaged listeners just like you. Thanks once again for keeping WWFM – The Classical Network close to your heart. We love our listener-members! xoxoxoxo

  • St Valentine Skull Classical Music and Mortality

    St Valentine Skull Classical Music and Mortality

    Roses are red; Rosses are blue.

    Here’s my annual posting of the skull of St. Valentine. Think of it as a memento mori.

    Relationships die. You’ll die. I’ll die. Everything and everyone we’ve ever cared about will be gone eventually. But while we’re here, we can at least keep classical music on the radio.

    Call now and make your Valentine’s donation to WWFM – The Classical Network at 1-888-232-1212. Or be bitter like me, circumvent humanity, and contribute online at wwfm.org.

    Thank you for ensuring a modicum of beauty in our bleak existence.
