Oh, my!

KING-fm, my usual internet radio companion, was having "atonal annoying 20th century music day" today so I dialed around in Real Player a bit to find if I could find something more work-inducive.

I hit on KAMU-fm from College Station/Bryan Texas (it's a campus station). But anyway, it was playing Vivaldi, the tone was good, and so I left it on.

And then a familiar voice boomed out: Karl Haas! Karl Haas! Adventures in Good Music! Waaaaaaay back when, when I was just a tiny little classical music fan, I used to listen to him on WCLV in Cleveland. Well, a quick Google search turned this brief bio up.

Apparently, he is still with us, and that makes me very happy to know. And here's a little more from the WCLV home page.

Oh, and his picture on the Radio Hall of Fame site - I'd never seen him before, but he looked just like I pictured him in my mind.

I wish I could pick up "Adventures in Good Music" more regularly. It's a good program, and Karl Haas has a wonderful, soothing voice to listen to.
