Hi,

I'm sending this out to (1) update Fred's still-wonderful WBRU site and (2)
stir up our GoogleGroup a little. What's new with everyone? Here's the news
from atop the Third Watchung Mountain (OK, a glacial escarpment 80 feet
about average terrain, but in this part of NJ, it's a mountain!)...

Just connected with Roger Norton on Facebook, another timesuck - Facebook,

Fascinating stuff, Paul. Thanks for sending it along.

And interesting that Sony is in the business of preserving American culture.

Another WBRU music director (from the '70s) gets his 15 minutes of fame.
Worth reading, in my opinion....

I may have mentioned this earlier, but here it is again....
I joined Facebook, and suddenly a WBRU reunion erupted! It has been fun
being part of it; perhaps you'd find the same to be true. Details in Bill's

Happy weekend,

I'm glad we were there when we were there. It seems in most contemporary
radio that anything more than that-was/this-is gets you in trouble. Very
sad.

In a hopefully-appropriate use of the word, I am truly shocked as well as
very deeply saddened.

For Facebook members, there's an "I WOrked at WBRU" discussion group at:[link]

While it's mostly early '70s folks, it's open to all, and you might find some fun stuff there; I did.

Happy summer,

While not directly WBRU-related, GTM was one of my three greatest radio
gurus. Although the article doesn't note it, he was PD at WHCN (short-term
home of several WBRU alumni in the early '70s) from 1964-1976, and really
inspired the station. He had been ailing for a while, but this is still a
very sad day.

For the record, here’s the NY Times article announcing this today. During
our peak influence, I believe there were perhaps half a dozen WBRU alumni
working there in the late 1940s and 1950s.

By the way, I believe there are now SIX full-time Spanish language stations
in the metro NYC market.
