Happy 4th of July from WBJC! |
|
The WBJC staff would like to thank all our donors and friends who helped make fiscal year 2022 one of the best! In fact, we were able to reduce the number of days of fundraising thanks to your fantastic support. Thank you!
We have great things planned for this next year including the resumption of international travel, more programming in concert with local arts organizations, and some needed technical upgrades of our studios.
Thank you for listening and supporting the magic that makes classical music possible at 91.5FM.
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend,
Richard & The WBJC staff

Way back when I started working at WBJC in 1993, I quickly learned that, in addition to classical music, two of the most popular topics of conversation in my workplace were food and movies. These days, of course, we’ve added streaming various TV series to that list. Something that Jonathan and I have pondered more than once is the disappearance of classical music from films as either an activity or a profession for the characters. In some vintage comedies, the music is almost a character in its own right. Remember Dudley Moore’s lascivious maestro in “Foul Play?” The extensive use of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta “The Mikado” has always been a highlight of the film for me... READ MORE HERE

Last November, I was feeling very sick, and my son took me to the emergency room at St. Agnes hospital. It turns out I had Multiple Myeloma, which is a form of blood cancer. I began treatments and within a few months went into remission. Now that I am in remission, I am able to get a bone marrow transplant at Johns Hopkins. It is a long procedure, and will take me out of commission for the entire month of July, and the first part of August. Believe me when I tell you that I would much rather be in the studio every morning sharing the world’s greatest music with you, but I need to do this so that I can continue to share that great music with you in the coming years. Abhin, Kati, Jonathan, Dyana and Judith will be covering my shifts at one time or another. I can’t thank them enough for their generosity of spirit. I can’t thank you enough for the support you have showed me over the years. I’m going to be back just as soon as possible. Thanks again, and keep listening!
