Lynne joined as guest DJ in August and will air every other Thursday*, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.  The program is primarily about music.  On Ecclectic, Classical, Retro Thursdays, we mix education with the music, with history (Dred Scott), current events (Civil War Commemoration, and people (musicians, poets, and authors).  

Education through music is a wonderful opportunity to share our history and emphasize our comemorative, educational, and reconciliation efforts that the foundation promotes.  Tune in every other Thursday and enjoy the fun.
