WTPB-LP 99.3 FM RADIO IN SEPTEMBER

 

Happy September!

This month my friend Don Ferguson will be playing these one hour shows in rotation: Sound of Music; Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66; Seven Brides for Seven Brothers; The Music of Perry Como; and Pal Joey.  You can hear Don’s programs at 10 AM on Monday and Friday, and Wednesday and Sunday at 4 PM.

Most of you know that my friend Mike Williamson and I are both natives of Albert Lea, Minnesota. So often we enjoy reminiscing about growing up in Albert Lea and share with each other news of what is happening there currently. Although Mike is several years younger than me, we have many friends we have both known for years. You can hear Mike Williamson and Friends at 730 PM on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and at 130 PM on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Mike and his band also sing at the Butterfly Club every Friday and Saturday night, except on the last Friday of the month they are at the Stockholm Inn from 530 to 730 PM.

Every night listen for more music with your host John “Radio” Russell from 8 to 10 PM on 99.3 FM and online at www.wtpblp.com  My longtime friend, John and I both love music and radio, but still, we often spend even more time talking about baseball! John is an Indiana University graduate who is a veteran of over 50 years of local broadcasting having worked at 15 Chicago and suburban radio, TV stations, and newspapers.  John has also written 15 books including “Valley Voices,” the history of Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana Radio.

We all wish you good a month of listening this September!  Thanks for listening!
