In Celebration of Earth Day, Physical Elements, Part 2: Earth & Water on Theme Attic!

This week Theme Attic, the musical show that picks themes and then plays music from various genres about them, is celebrating Earth Day by examining songs about the earth as "well" as water. Join DJ Phil Maq as he explores part 2 of his Physical Elements theme.

Check out an acoustic set and interview with the Wall Clocks from 3-4pm on the Mid-Day Mix today April 20! The Wall Clocks is a great supporter of WHFR and have appeared on the Motor Live Drive at Five and was on of the bands that performed at our 25th Anniversary Party.

Billy Bang was a violinist and intense spirit who touched many of our lives. Although we lost Billy last Monday, we still have the vast memories and recordings of his music to keep that spirit alive.

Hopefully some of us (thanks to Peter Cox in NY) had a chance to hear WKCR in NY broadcast an incredible tribute and memorial to Billy last week. With their incredible resources they truly do justice to the lives of our beloved artists.

Thanks to everyone who donated and came out to support WHFR at our Radiothon events. We cannot do it without you! The kickoff party at Bailey's was a lot of fun and great to see so many friends of WHFR to come out and support us and local electronic DJs. The Blues Benefit was a great way to end our week-long pledge drive - we saw several loyal WHFR supporters and lovers of the blues! Thanks to everyone who came out and for the artists who donated their time at these events.
