Program May 7, 2010

The applause is for you, WRIR's listeners, who made our Spring '10 fund drive our best yet by generously donating more than $30,000. Give yourself a hand for your hand in making WRIR America's most successful LPFM radio station.

If you planned on making that donation but just didn't get around to it, we're keeping the fund drive going online just for you. Until May 16, if you donate online you'll still receive the full complement of fund drive premiums, and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you helped make "radio for the rest us" possible for all of us.

After two weeks of fund drives programs and great live bands in the studio (thanks again to the Happy Lucky Combo and the Chris Vasi Project for playing live on Global A Go-Go), I have a backlog of great new material to play for you today from Amy Denio, Rana Santacruz, Tony Allen, Bako Dagnon and others.
