This was our designated night for seeking pledges from listeners as part of
the Spring Pledge Drive for the WSHU Radio Group. We were indeed gratified
as our audience cast a very strong vote for folk and acoustic music on the
airwaves. We more than doubled our goal for the evening. To show our
gratitude, we remained on the air an extra half hour to program music
rather than beat the tub for money.
My sincere thanks to WSHU Chief Engineer/Webmaster Paul Litwinovich who
joined me in the studio to pitch for pledges. And an equally big thanks to
WSHU's Ellen Litwinovich and Cameron LiDestri and listener and old
folk-friend Ken Dixon who handled the pledge room telephones. A tip of the
hat as well to Green Linnet Records in Danbury and Judith Joiner for the
contribution of albums to use as premiums.
Most important, a big bouquet of thanks to all of you who made pledges or
are annual members of the stations.
