First Day of the Winter Membership Drive

It's been quite active around the station today! 

Many thanks to all who have pledged today, in addition to all of the members who took advantage of the early pledge option. Congratulations to Peggy & Chuck Morris who won the 20,000 Alaska Airlines miles drawing for early pledgers. Be sure to pledge and pay to get into the 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles drawing that takes place after the membership drive wraps up.
There have been lots of fun and interesting "Pick 5" songs today. It's always interesting to hear what songs mean something to other folks around town. We've heard tunes ranging from Hank Williams to Nine Inch Nails. It is a truly eclectic group of folks who support your local public radio station. Including our excellent volunteers! Thank you for your continued dedication and support! Keep listening!

Just received this album here at the station. Hope to hear it in a Spotlight soon, or maybe on another show. The debut album in Mr. Ho's Exotica for Modern Living album series. Stop by and take a listen.

Happy Thanksgiving

Here we are, and it's the Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving. My hopes are that each volunteer has a most enjoyable Thanksgiving day. We're here at the station all day today, so stop on by and say hello. I look forward to putting a face with each name on the volunteer list. There are still plenty of spots available for phone volunteers next week. Answering the pledge phones is a fun way to get to talk to some fellow supporters of local public radio! Good times!
I grew up in Houston, Texas, and it was a public radio station there that I first heard Arlo Guthrie's epic "Alice's Restaurant". It was played in its entirety on Thanksgiving day. Thus began the Martens family's yearly listening to "Alice's Restaurant." And what to my wondering ears should appear... tomorrow afternoon on KMXT, we're broadcasting In Search of a Song, and Arlo Guthrie is a guest. He's also riding a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade tomorrow. So for a song that mentions the Thanksgiving holiday in passing, Arlo Guthrie has become a Thanksgiving institution. I don't mind. My dad and brother went to see Arlo Guthrie & Family in Houston and said it was one of the best shows they've seen. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and don't litter.
