A little something different on today's show for Labor Day. For the first two hours I played music from five bands that have recently been through my studio for my weekly Friday at 2pm local music series. If you tuned in today, you would have heard My Instant Lunch, Joe Stevenson, John Kolbeck, Jazz Collective, and John Krueger. Without these guys' help, Augusta wouldn't have the vibrant music scene it doe today (and my show would have been awfully quiet from Noon to 2pm today!).
My special guest today was Fred Gehle of the Veterans History Project. Fred, with the help of the Library of Congress and the Augusta Richmond County Historical Society has interviewed over 400 local World War II veterans and placed those interviews on DVDs to be given to the veterans' family, the Augusta State Library, and the Library of Congress. Fred and company still have 200 identified local veterans to interview and they could always use your help fining area veterans and preparing them for their interviews. To help, you can contact Fred Gehle at 706-738-8242 or fpgehle@bellsouth.net.
Tomorrow on the show, we'll listen together to the oh-so-seditious back to school message that the president is beaming into kids' classrooms, chat with Betts Murdison about the upcoming Ronald McDonald House Golf Ball coming up this Sunday, and get a library update from Gary Swint - and hopefully an update on his wolf stool collection! Tune in for more seditious talk!
