Show #243 – Post Pledge Party on The Airwaves

Today was the first day after a 10-day pledge drive ended.  KWMR does two 10-day pledge drives each year to raise much needed funds to keep us, and all the programs, on the air.  With a $50,000 goal, we almost hit it.  Just under a thousand dollars shy.  We are hopeful that folks will continue to bring in the cashola to get us to our goal.  Almost there.  Thank you everyone.

Show #241 – October Birthdays

Now that we have an official spreadsheet of Bakersfield-esque birthdays, we made sure we did some celebrating.  Some folks are still alive, some are not, but the music they left us is the best.  This show, we celebrated Bonny Owens, Chris Gaffney, Susan Raye, Tommy Collins, and Marty Stuart.  And then we played some old, some new, and all of it fun.
