If you”ve had a chance to listen the past couple of mornings, you”ve noticed that I”m back on the air here at WDAV. It has been an interesting couple of weeks as I”ve been recovering from the cancer surgery, but the healing has been much smoother and quicker than I thought it would be.
It”s terrific to be back and to once again share the wonderful classical music with you…we”re all very fortunate to be able to enjoy that together, aren”t we?
As a final note, I”ll never be able to do a complete job of thanking all the wonderful, supportive people who posted messages here on the blog. Reading the kind, gracious words of so many WDAV listeners was a real inspiration, and I”ll always be grateful for your thoughtfulness.
So back to the studio, and back to the wonderful chance to work here and be a small part of the great things that happen here – I”m far more blessed than I deserve!

As I hope you know from being a regular WDAV listener, I’m privileged to be with you Monday through Saturday mornings on the station. I also get to host and assemble the weekend programs Carolina Live and Artist Spotlight. No doubt about it — if you don’t like listening to me on WDAV, there’s not a day in the week when you can get away from me! I hope that’s not what you want to do, though…
You won’t be hearing me for a while, beginning soon. I have prostate cancer, and the nature and size of the cancer dictate my having surgery rather than using another form of treatment. With the surgery and subsequent recovery period, I think I’ll be away from WDAV about two weeks. I’m going to keep the absence as short as possible, but if you tune in and don’t hear me for a while, don’t worry — I’ll be back as soon as I can.
If by chance you’re a person who prays, please keep me in your prayers the next few weeks…that’s the best, most thoughtful thing you can do. All the best to you during this period, and keep listening to the matchless music on WDAV!
