Just pledged a 100 clams to WWOZ – the best jazz and heritage radio station ever! When I first visited New Orleans and heard the most amazing jazz and blues waft out of the crappy hotel radio, I exclaimed, “This is what New Orleanians get over their airwaves for free? Another reason I want to live here!”
Well, it’s not free – WWOZ has expenses to keep those tunes pumping. Today is the last day of their spring pledge drive, so give, give, give via the phone, internet or mail! You can donate to ‘OZ at any time, but this is when you get Jazzfest tickets (at the $100 level and above) and your name is read on the radio right before Fess. Loki called me from the station, “Hey, babe, thanks for your pledge! I’m here to make sure they announce your name correctly!”
Never you fear, Loki, my people are everywhere. Friends from Krewe de CRAPS, Tom Morgan and John Hyman, are on the air right now hosting Jazz Roots. They just gave me a shout-out and asked other CRAPpers to make their pledges before the day runs out. Wheeee!
How many people from how many radio stations in how many cities will do this for you? Join WWOZ or renew your membership now! Pledge online or call 1-800-768-2414.
Thats my girl!
