About a week ago Dave DuBrow asked Maria and Phyllis how they would program one hour on WABC. I then thought how would program a radio show. I would chose WFUV since it is the closest thing to a true free form radio station in New York excluding satellite and internet radio. As a not for profit station associated with Fordham University they are very dependent on listener donations. I give them about $100/year and wish I could donate more. I also support jazz and blues station WBGO. WFUV pays tribute to Bob Dylan on May 24th, his birthday. If I could program WFUV on that day I would play my favorite cover versions of Dylan songs. My list is below. I am sure that as soon as I post this entry I will post more.
