Fall Pledge Drive / Songs of 9/11

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

This show features musical responses from the folk community to the horrific attacks and loss of life of 9-11 on this weekend during which America marks the tenth anniversary of the al-Qaida assault. It was also the first weekend of WSHU’s fall pledge drive. The musical selections underscored the therapeutic qualities of music as a healing agent.

My thanks to WSHU Chief Engineer Paul Litwinovich, who pitched during the night, and his lovely wife Ellen, who manned the telephones. And our thanks to all of you listeners who took the time to phone in or use your computer to make a pledge to keep folk and acoustic music as an important part of WSHU and WSUF programming.
