“For the times, they are a-changin’.”
And we are changing with the times. The Coronavirus pandemic has necessitated many changes in our operations at WUMB but one thing has not changed — our commitment to bringing you the music you love, 24-7, to help all of us make it through these difficult days, together. Read More…
Well it’s certainly a unique time out there….I hope you’re safe and healthy these days. It has most certainly been a unique few weeks. I’ll try and catch you up as quick as I can…. Read More…
Hi everybody, I hope you are keeping healthy, safe, and sane. Sometimes a time like Sunday morning is just the right place for a re-set. And Sunday Morning Brew will continue to present you with that kind of sound track. Read More…
I’m going to welcome Spring and April with some upbeat songs for you to check out and to keep us movin’ and groovin’. Let’s start off with two tunes from Memphis’ own, the late Preston Shannon:
1. Preston Shannon-“You Gotta Move” from his Dust My Broom cd
2. Preston Shannon-“Honky Tonk” (Dust My Broom) Read More…
well, we ‘speak’ again, this mode being the MO these days for everything we’re going through…as you’ve noticed, we’ve been allowed to work, to stay on the air, which hopefully is at the very least lending you some sort of comfort and companionship during these admittedly odd times…so, here’s what you can look forward to as far as H61 goes for the merry month of April… Read More…
I hope you and yours are doing well. Here at WUMB we are grateful for the opportunity to try to keep you company, entertained, and informed during these unsettled times. Music has a wonderful way of bringing us together through shared experience, and through celebration of our culture. Music can be catharsis, and it can be a great escape. It can say what we’re feeling, and it can make us feel better. We intend to continue bringing you more music while heading into April, both on The Morning Show and on WUMB as a whole. Thanks for listening and thanks for your support. Read More…
All these years that I’ve felt resistant, sometimes disdainful of the techno-remote life. Online universities – ha! No learning of social interaction skills in that college experience. Last month I was interviewed online by three people from a medical patient support company. “Your office is in Back Bay, I’ll meet you in person,” I suggested. “No, that’s OK,” they insisted. And the people who webcast their fantasy gossip shows in hopes of becoming “online celebrities.”
Thanks to the current virus situation, they all look like GENIUSES. Read More…
