Billy Bang Tribute TONIGHT at 6pm on WHFR

Submitted by Susie Q on Tue, 04/19/2011 - 2:11pm

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.
