I’ve blogged about Richmond’s independent radio station WRIR 97.3 before so it’s no secret that I dig it. Why? Because of the shows. Shows like Bill Lupoletti’s Global A Go-Go to name just one. Nothing gets me in the groove for the weekend like the music he plays on Friday nights from 5-7p.m.
And this Friday his already great show gets even better. How? Think two hours of kick ass accordion music from Texas to Africa and everywhere in between. And I’m lucky enough to be one of two guest hosts who will help Bill wax rhapsodic about one of the the greatest instruments on the planet. Barry Bless, the fabulous accordion player for Richmond band Happy Lucky Combo is the other one. We spent three very fun hours picking out 70 minutes worth of our favorite accordion tunes worldwide.  I think you’ll dig them.
I may have teeth-clenching, nausea-inducing anxiety when it comes to playing the accordion in front of people, but I have no anxiety when it comes to running my mouth about it. So if you’re around a radio tomorrow night from 5-7 and within the city limits (WRIR is a low power station) tune into 97.3FM. And if you’re not within the city limits, you can listen to it through live streaming on the radio’s website. Bill also does Podcasts of all his shows.  Here’s Bill’s blog post about the show.
Hope you give us a listen.
