Thump and Growl is preempted until June 4th.

So this was a pitching program that came after a lot of time has been spent pitching for the antenna/transmitter fund since the Winter 'thon in February. Well, we appear to have not raised a dime. The report on any Web donations is still out. Maybe we raised something on the Web.

This will be yet another temporary archive blurb. I really have got to get these things fleshed out. And I will indeed try. Right now, however, I am facing the usual problem I face with these things on a Saturday afternoon after the program: I'm fried after having been up for so long. I will really try to get these things all updated soon.

Uncle Sidney was ill this morning, so an archival program was aired.

We were the last live radio program for this weekend. WBAI's operations and Engineering Departments are spending the 48 hours after this program re-wiring the place. I will really try to get caught up on all of my archive blurbs, including the one for this program, this weekend.

The Wailers are in fine form at this Leeds 1973 Concert featured here as part of Connections. 40 years on and Bob Marley and Peter Tosh on lead vocals take you to a setting that sounds intimate, irie and intense. In the 2nd Hour, former First Lady of Jamaica, Beverly Manley, wife of the late Michael Manley, speaks extensively on the book she wrote, The Marley Memoirs. A powerful one if ever one was written. It will be worth you listening if you seek an understanding of life from the perspective on one who has seen and done it all. Connections next appears on Mon. May 6, 2013, 3-5AM. Do be listening and make sure to tell a friend!
