Скачать или смотреть WUSB Radiothon: April 9, 1990

Notes from Emmanuel:

This is now the third day of recording for the WUSB fundraiser of 1990, the fifth day overall, captured on Monday, April 9.

This is a rather short recording that captures some of the flavor of that day. We see the determination of our on-air staff to raise money no matter what, plus a bit of back and forth as we torment each other with the video camera. The running gag was telling people "the red light means it's not on."

It was Opening Day in Major League Baseball and someone had a radio tuned to a game in the tally room. We hear a classic story from 1972 told by Jim Wiener and Norm Prusslin as only they could. And during the Monday evening traditional folk show, we hear Jim Dexter's account of how he first talked with the head of the Long Island Traditional Music Association, WUSB's own Gerry Riemer.
