SUPPORT WFUV! Become a member! Go to the web site and join us ... were the only place on New York broadcast radio for quality adult eclectic music played for quality eclectic adults! Commercial radio is no longer interested in intelligently presenting quality music. Public radio is our only hope ... it must be supported ... or it will not survive.
THERE IS AN IDIOT’S DELIGHT T-SHIRT!!
I designed it myself. It's simple, low key and to the point. It's short-sleeved, in heather gray, with very dark blue (almost black) lettering. The "3 essential commandments" are on the front and the show name is on the back, all quite unobtrusive, with no station, corporate or commercial logos anywhere. The shirt is only available through World Hunger Year (it was a Hungerthon '99 premium), for a $50 donation to that fine organization. For further information, call Sue Leventhal at W.H.Y. – (212) 629-8850 or visit http://www.worldhungeryear.org
My friend Engineer Paul has a personal web page http://www.engineerpaul.com, which also contains "The Songs I Played" every week, as well as some of the digital photos he took of guests during our K-ROCK and WNEW days together.
Listener FiL Wisneski runs an indispensable archive of the show lists at http://cherk.com/vin/ for which I am most grateful.
I am also indebted to Listener Scott Perschke, who maintains the Idiot's Delight Digest, an email discussion forum with a wide-ranging scope.
