It was Friday around 11.30AM and I was sitting in my downtown office, watching live NASSA-TV broadcast from Cape Canaveral of the Atlantis’ launch. As the Shuttle took off from the launching platform the commentator said “America will continue the dream.” In context of everything that is going on with NASSA I felt that it was such a phenomenal thing to say, the dream will continue…
As last night BSO proceed with opening the Berlioz’s Requiem (a wonderful performance BTW) I felt very much the same about the recent development with WCRB. Those 3 live broadcasts from Tanglewood per week – we, the New Englanders, are back in the celebrated Boston radio broadcast haven! The dream of all those people who started and supported the BSO broadcasts in 50s, even before the FM era came, is certainly continuing. It was depressing to observe for the last 2 years how the former WCRB moronic-management vandalized whatever was built-in in Boston for years. With Ben Roe arrival it looks like the whole attitude of the station begin to change and now we have 3 concerts from Tanglewood!
Well, the least that I can do at this point is to call to on Monday to WCRB and to donate money, something that I did not do since WGBH moved to WCRB. The BSO broadcasting dream is continuing, so the support to the radio station that is makeing is possible…Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
