GM Report




We have some special programming lined up for this month.


In commemoration of the tragedy, we will be rebroadcasting the amazing "The Hartford Circus Fire: An Audio Recollection," produced by WWUH volunteer Brandon Kampe, at 1pm this Monday, July 6th, the 82nd anniversary of the catastrophe.

And at 6pm the same evening, we will resume our 50+ year tradition of carrying the wonderful Paul Brown Jazz Concerts from Hartford's Bushnell Park. While we encourage people to go down to the park to experience this world-class series of Jazz concerts first hand, we realize that not everyone is able to do that so we bring the concerts to those who cannot attend.


You can learn more about these wonderful concerts at hartfordjazzsociety.com


Elsewhere in this Guide we continue our popular feature of looking back at the station's history.

WWUH History: 1991



From the November/December, 1991 issue of the Program Guide.

The year in review, by John Ramsey:

"This, the last issue of the WWUH Program Guide for 1992, seems to be a good place to take a look at what the station has accomplished over the last year or two.



Nationally, we have seen the right of freedom of speech repeatedly challenged. This has been a cause of great concern for all of us here at WWUH. In response, we have renewed out commitment to the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The station has always been, and will always be, dedicated to the concept that the free exchange of ideas and viewpoints is vital to a healthy democracy.


WWUH will continue to be a forum for alternative viewpoints, viewpoints often not allowed on other media outlets. Along these lines, many of our public affairs programs came of age during the last year. “Cease Fire News,” which was created during the war in the Persian Gulf, when the military seemed to control the information released to the public about the war, has evolved into an outstanding program which explores alternative viewpoints and news stories, both local and international in scope. I’m not exaggerating when I say that this show is worthy of a national audience.


Our award winning “Focus on Health” program has changed its name to “New Focus” and has expanded to take a new look at some pressing issues, both old and new. The “Refrigerator Club” has widened its scope to cover such issues as the economy, business, privacy issues and the technological revolution in the collection, dissemination and the security of information. “Gay Spirit” still going strong after more than a decade of weekly broadcasts, has earned a reputation as one of the best researched and produced programs of its type in the nation. 


“Assassination Journal,” the country’s longest running public affairs programs dedicated to a single topic, became the focus of national attention and press thanks to the hard work of producer George Michael Evica, and to Oliver Stone’s popular film “JFK”. “Asian American Forum”, now in its second year, continues to explore the many issues that affect all American’s of Asian ancestry, and indeed, the rest of us as well. And Bruce Kampe, producer of “The Shortwave Alternative” was recently interviewed in a New York Times article on the increased popularity of shortwave listening due to the international situation.

During the summer, the station devoted many hours to the coverage of the Democratic and Republican national conventions, with much of the programming provided to us by Pacifica station WBAI in NYC. Judging form the calls we received, these broadcasts, which featured a refreshingly alternative perspective on the political process, were very popular. Look for more political coverage in the months ahead, including special Election Night coverage.

Our extremely diverse alternative music programming continues to expand and improve in 1992, helped along in large part by our many dedicated and knowledgeable volunteer programmers.  


Live music performers could be heard often on 91.3 during the year as we, ranging from classical from the Hartt School of Music to our own bluegrass broadcasts. Our five-hour “Folk Next Door” concert in May was a huge success, and featured 23 of Connecticut’s top acoustic and roots artists. This concerts was digitally recorded in our new recording studio and has just been released as a CD, a first in UH history. Record companies throughout the country recognize the reach and popularity of our programming: In fact, they donated over 2000 new recordings to our extensive record and CD collection in 1992.

While many volunteer based organizations complain that finding volunteers has become increasingly difficult, volunteerism is alive and well at WWUH. We have long waiting lists for just about all of our programs. All of the people who produce and air programs are volunteers and only two people out of our staff of over eighty individuals are paid. Using volunteers as programmers keeps the programming fresh, and also helps greatly to keep down the cost of running the station.

WWUH has always been fortunate to have a very supportive listening audience. This is especially important considering the fact hat nearly 70% of the station’s budget comes from our listeners. We raised well over $60,000 in 1992 in just two, one week over the air fund raising events! While many stations have been forced to add days or even weeks to their fund raisers to make up for a drop in listener support, this has not been necessary here at WWUH thanks to the generosity of our listeners and the University. Financially, WWUH is in good shape.

‘…What do we have in mind for 1993? A lot! 1993 will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of WWUH, and we have many special events planned to help celebrate that milestone. In addition, the WWUH Antenna Project, years in the planning, should be completed during the year, further expanding the reach of the station’s signal and improving reception for our current listeners. More live music of every kind (and perhaps a Folk Next Door II) is planned, as is the further development of our news and public affairs programming. But probably most important, you will hear on 91.3 just what you’ve come to expect from WWUH; alternative community service programming that can not be matched anywhere.” 



From the Station History Document: 1981



The station’s Community Affairs Department presented a series of special programs in 1981. 


The political situation in El Salvador was the subject of a number of programs during the year. A special two-hour live program on El Salvador was aired in an afternoon Synthesis slot. Moderated by George Michael Evica, the program featured several local professors and the head of the US State Department Working Group on El Salvador, who appeared on the show via telephone from Washington.  People listening to the show heard a thorough discussion of the crisis, with the Administration’s point of view being offered by the State Department spokesman.  


About 90 minutes into the show the spokesman was asked the following question by Dr. Evica: “Has the US State Department ruled out the murder of one or more of the El Salvador’s political leaders as a possible solution to the crisis?” Dr. Evica had tossed out the question expecting a “stock” answer, but he, and the many people tuned in to 91.3 at the time, were shocked when the State Department’s spokesman responded that "murder had not been ruled out!” This meant that the State Department was considering the assassination of foreign leaders, something that was a violation of US Law.  Moments after this statement was made on the air by the State Department official, the telephone call was interrupted by a series of clicks and the line went dead. Attempts to raise the gentleman from the State Department continued for close to an hour to no avail. The spokesman would not take our call! Coverage of the crisis in El Salvador continued with the broadcast of a campus forum on the situation in April.


Later in the year, Professor Evica moderated another in-studio forum, this on the safety of the nuclear power plants in Connecticut.. The live program was heavily promoted and aired in an afternoon Synthesis time slot to get maximum exposure. Participating in the program were two members of the Union for Concerned Scientists, a group that had questioned the safety of the Millstone plants, and two representatives from plant's owner; a director of nuclear operations and a senior engineer of the plant.


The program focused on the alarming number of plant incidents that had been reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the last few years, and the fact that the plants had received unprecedented reprimands and fines from the NRC for safety violations at both Millstone and their sister Connecticut Yankee atomic power plant in Haddam.


Toward the end of the program, the NU engineer referred to the reactor containment dome as being the “first and only line” of defense should the reactor experience a “worst case” loss of coolant accident, which he said would result in a build up of highly radioactive steam to a pressure in excess of 2,000 pounds per square inch inside the dome. He was asked by one of the reactor safety experts if the dome had ever been tested to this pressure, and the NU spokesman said in a condescending voice “of course, we can’t do that”. Surprised by the flippant answer, Dr. Evica asked if any pressurization testing had ever been performed on the dome at the plant. NU engineer confirmed that pressure tests were routinely conducted, and that the dome had been tested to a pressure of 20 pounds per square inch. When challenged as to why they only tested the dome to 1/100th of what would be experienced in an actual accident, the NU spokesman replied “because we don’t want to damage the dome”! Realizing how bad that sounded, both NU employees got up and walked out of the studio while the show as on the air live leaving the remaining participants, and more than a few listeners, dumbfounded.


Like most cities in the northeast, Hartford had experienced a crisis of unaffordable housing during the decade.  WWUH addressed the problem by adding the "Housing Crunch", a half hour weekly public affairs show dealing with housing issues and hosted by John Merino in March. This show, which aired in the noon public affairs slot, would be a mainstay of WWUH’s daytime public affairs programming for a number of years. 


Volunteer John Merino also produced a five-part, locally produced forum on Housing Issues which aired in November. He was joined by co-hosts Abigail Sullivan from the Hartford Courant, Mary Messina from The Herald and Cynthia Jones from The Hartford Advocate. Guests included the State Commissioner on Housing, the directors of various neighborhood housing services and representatives from Housing Code Enforcement programs from several area towns, including Hartford. The program generated a considerable amount of press.

Forgotten Village Abandoned and Hiding in Isolated Woods


The Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village has an exceptionally unusual backstory. The village of around 100 residents was occupied for about 100 years in the 1700s and 1800s in a very remote section of CT’s northwest hills. It was abandoned and virtually forgotten until an archeological team stumbled across it and put the pieces together. The story includes a Romeo and Juliet type of love story, coupled with a fascinating twist explaining how a village 70 miles from Long Island Sound got the name lighthouse. The story is told by Ken Feder, Professor Emeritus of Archeology at Central Connecticut State University, who led the archeological digs.



Sunday July 12


How Ethan Allen Created a New State 



Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys made Vermont possible. Formed by Connecticut natives Allen (Litchfield) and Seth Warner (Roxbury), the group fought to retain land grant rights in the 1700s in the wilderness between New Hampshire and New York. Their efforts paved the way for Vermont to become a separate state. The story is told by historian and author Gene Procknow.


Sunday July 19


Island of Miracles



Retreats at Enders Island re-instill virtue and provide hope. A Catholic ministry has a remarkable record with 12-step programs held on the island. But, it almost wasn’t so. The island was nearly closed 30 years ago due to financial struggles. Now, it’s flourishing. It’s beautiful. It’s serene. Its dahlia gardens are internationally renowned. Delicious jelly is made from local fruit trees. Its sacred art program has achieved distinction. And there’s a highly unusual religious relic – an 800-year-old arm. All of this on just 11 acres. You must hear about Enders Island from Father Thomas Hoar, who runs it.



Sunday July 26


Skydiving’s First Jump



Skydiving became a sport in the U.S. in the 1950s. The first commercial jumping operation was at a rural grass landing strip in Litchfield County that catered to college students with money and nerves of steel. The special guest telling this story, Russ Wheeler, was at the airstrip and was a stunt skydiver with hundreds of jumps to his credit, including in several locations that will absolutely amaze you.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA

Programming for July 2026



SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA

your "Lyric Theater" program

with Keith Brown 



SUNDAY JULY 5TH Bernstein, Wonderful Town, DiPietro & Bryan, Memphis American lyric theater music is absolutely a must for the Sunday of the Independence Day holiday weekend. Leonard Bernstein (1918-93) is the colossus of the American lyric theater in the mid twentieth century. His West Side Story (1957) is a veritable monument of the American theatrical genre. Some think it's the "Great American Opera" for all time. Selections from West Side Story always get programmed into Fourth of July holiday concerts. Runner-up to it in repute might be Bernstein's On The Town (1944), his lyric theater tribute to New York City as it was at mid century- a classic era in the city's cultural history. Much lesser known but still a classic of the genre is what might be considered the sequel to On the Town: that is, Wonderful Town (1953), Bernstein's ode to the funky Greenwich Village neighborhood of the city. The show opened at the Shubert Theater in New Haven, going on to Broadway in a production that ran for a respectable run of 559 performances. But thereafter-strangely- it disappeared. I broadcast the original cast recording of Wonderful Town, starring Rosalind Russell, exactly 34 years ago on this date. Wonderful Town was triumphantly revived in London in 1998 at the Royal Albert Hall, then recorded in EMI's Abbey Road studios. Sir Simon Rattle led the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. "Wonderful Town, wonderful recording," so says Fanfare magazine's reviewer Martin Anderson (Fanfare,Jan/Feb, 2000 issue.)

   Nothing could be more unmistakeably American than the singing traditions of the Black American Gospel choir. Memphis (2010), with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music by David Bryan, is a Gospel music musical, with a story of interracial love set in the segregated city of Memphis, Tennessee in the 1950's. It's based on the true story of the love between a white radio deejay Dewey Philips and a black singer Felicia Farrell. Listening to Memphis the musical you'll understand how Gospel music gave birth to soul and rock n'roll. Memphis won a Tony Award in 2010. The original Broadway cast recording of the Gospel musical was issued on compact disc in a special limited edition.

SUNDAY JULY 12TH  Gretry, La Caravane du Caire This French opera-ballet by Andre-Modest Gretry (1741-1813) falls into the operatic sub-genre of the exotic "Turkish" opera so popular in the eighteenth century, the most famous example of which is undoubtedly Mozart's "Abduction from the Seraglio"(1782). Gretry's "Caravan to Cairo" was first presented before royalty at Fontainebleau Palace in 1783 and went on to entertain Parisian audiences the following year at the Academie Royale de Musique. It remained one of Gretry's most popular lyric stageworks, receiving nearly five hundred performances in revivals well into the earlier part of the nineteenth century. And no wonder! Like his highly successful fairytale opera Zemire et Azor (1771), his "Caravan" opera had a tuneful score with plenty of sprightly dance numbers. You heard Zemire et Azor for a second time on this program quite recently on Sunday, June 14th. Now listen to La Caravane as recorded in 1991 live in performance at Namur in Belgium in connection with the Wallonie Festival. (Gretry was a Walloon, born in Belgium in the nearby city of Liege.) The American conductor Marc Minkowski, a specialist in baroque repertoire, leads the period instrument players of the Ricercar Academy and the Chamber Choir of Namur. The vocal soloists are also specialists in eighteenth century vocal practice. The Ricercar record label released Gretry's La Caravane du Caire in 1991 on two compact discs. The second of these discs includes excerpts from Gretry's Le Jugement de Midas (1778), recorded at a different date and with different performing resources (Leonhardt/Herreweghe/La Petite Bande). The voice of bass Jules Bastin, however, is heard in both of these recordings.

SUNDAY JULY 19TH  Bizet,Carmen Across the nation it's pops concert season, thinking of those large outdoor Summer evening music events that often culminate in fireworks displays. Any decent popular classics concert has got to have numbers from Georges Bizet's Carmen (1875), which is probably the single most popular opera of all time. The last previous time I broadcast this vintage Carmen recording was on July 1, 2012. New York's famous Metropolitan Opera delved into its audio archives and issued to the public a number of its historic airtapes of live Met performances. These radio broadcast reel-to-reels were digitally reprocessed for issue in compact disc format through Sony Classical in a special "Live from the Met" series. Carmen was taped live-in-performance in monaural sound on February 16, 1952. Soprano Rise Stevens stars as the tragic Gypsy girl, opposite tenor Richard Tucker as her paramour Don Jose. Fritz Reiner directs the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. The 1952 Met Carmen came out in Sony's "Met Opera" series on two CD's in 2011. I last presented this historic Carmen recording on Sunday, July 1, 2012.

SUNDAY JULY 26TH Sullivan, The Beauty Stone Normally this would be the Sunday in the Summer seasonal lineup that I reserve for one or another of the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan. Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) wrote much other lyric theater music both before and after his longtime collaboration with the wordsmith William Schwenk Gilbert (1836-1911). The closest thing to G & S minus the"G" might be Sullivan's The Beauty Stone.  Following the considerable success of his English grand opera Ivanhoe,based on Sir Walter Scott's historical novel, in 1890, The Beauty Stone was a flop when it premiered at the home G & S venue, the Savoy Theatre, in 1897. Like Ivanhoe, it was a medieval romance for the lyric stage. The Beauty Stone is a light opera, to be sure, although not a comic one. Sullivan's music was as engaging as ever, but the book and lyrics by Pinero and Carr failed to hold the Savoy audiences' attention. This Sunday you can rediscover and appreciate once again the beauties of The Beauty Stone in its 2013 world premiere recording for Chandos records of the UK. The performing resources are virtually the same as in the Chandos recording of Ivanhoe that I aired on Sunday, April 28,2013. Rory MacDonald directs the BBC National Orchestra and National Chorus of Wales. Tenor Toby Spence was the hero in Ivanhoe. Here he's the knight Philip, Lord of Mirlemont. In this recording, so writes Fanfare magazine's reviewer Ronald E. Graemes,"...this is the best case that one could ever have hoped for on behalf of this neglected opera." (Fanfare,May/June, 2014.)

Boomer's Paradise


Monday's 1-4 PM with your host, The Turtle Man


We enter the depths of summer and the hope that the weather will cooperate. No matter the weather your Monday afternoons will always be sunshine here at Boomers Paradise from 1-4 PM.


We celebrate the 250th anniversary of this wonderful land of freedom and what better way than to hear music from albums released in July 1976 (our 200th anniversary). We'll also delve into songs whose song titles reference "time" and jump back into time once again to the era of 1964-1966 and here what was on AM radio.


Next we head to the West Coast to listen to artists who hail from the San Francisco Bay area and songs whose titles reference the varying types of air movement from a breeze to a hurricane and in between.


From there it's more Power Ballads and songs whose titles reference words about speaking and talking.


We end the month with another batch of tunes from New Wave, Power Pop, Punk and Punk Rock artists.



Enjoyable variety is what you'll find each Monday from 1-4 PM on Boomers Paradise with your host, The Turtle Man on WWUH 91.3 FM/wwuh.org, 1-4PM. See you then.
