im not sure what is stranger: the first week back at the station or the station not having any records.

as ive mentioned before, wprb is in the process of moving to a new building on campus. for the last 2 weeks the entire music library – thouands upon thousands of LPs, CDs – has been slowly packed up in boxes. the only thing which remains are rock compilations and new releases. it was suggested that we bring in our own stuff but even my own music collection is currently in storage!

so the playlist is what it is. i offered to sing the requests i was unable to fill on-air and only one person humored me [”here comes your man”].

the station must know we’re leaving because the equipment was acting up. turntable one refused to cue and cd player 2 started unpausing cds on its own.

as you may or may not have heard, WPRB is in the midst of moving its studios to a new building on campus. we’ve been packing everything up and broadcasting at the same time - certainly no easy feat for a station thats more than 50 years old!

chances are, we will probably not have your request available.

i propose this: if you call up during my show [3-5 PM EST] and request a song, i will sing it on the air.

WPRB is accessible by radio and the internet: 103.3FM or http://www.wprb.com/
