march 28

Thursday, March 28 was a wonderful time to discover Maxim Gorky, the great Russian writer. I read from his diary various stories of his.

Selma to Montgomery

Thursday, March 21 will be the anniversary of the march that finally made it to Montgomery from Selma. So I will be playing a sermon by Martin Luther King, Jr. and reading some of his writings.

Thursday

Karl Marx

Albert Einstein

March 14th is the date Karl Marx died, Albert Einstein was born and the Grapes of Wrath was published. So it will be a mixed show this week, celebrating these three events.  Check it out.

Snow and rain

Kenneth Grahame

Sorry for not having a show on Feb. 28th. I was looking forward to it. It was going to be much about George Herbert. He wrote great poems and had a great story.  But the weather kept me in bed.  Too much snow and rain this year. I am happy that February is over.  This week I am looking to read from the Wind and the Willows by Kenneth Grahame.  His birthday is this Friday, March 8.  The book was written in 1908. What a timeless classic.

Next Thursday - Feb 28 will celebrate Wales

Friday, March 1st is St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales.  So, Thursday, Feb. 28th show will be a celebration of Wales. I am sure there will be something by Dylan Thomas, but there will be more.

W.H. Auden

This Thursday will be a morning dedicated to W.H. Auden, 21 Feb. 1907 - 29 Sept. 1973. We may have Erika Pfander come join as a guest reader. Check it out. 7 am Thursday.  

valentines day
