If you are a fan of Central Kentucky’s classical music outlet, WEKU-FM 88.9, plan to stop by Joseph-Beth Booksellers Saturday afternoon for a Joseph-Beth Gives Back event celebrating the station.

Roger Duvall

I’m being kind of inviting because I am part of the program. At 2:30 p.m. I will be chatting with WEKU Station Manager Roger Duvall about the future of classical music and some of our favorite music. I think this is a really cool topic because so much is changing locally and globally with classical music, so I am really looking forward to the chat with Roger, and I know he’s selected some great music to bring along.

Preceding us at 1:15 will be WEKU morning classics host Michael Carter and Lexington’s favorite bassman Joe Tackett of the Lexington Philharmonic. I’m note sure what these guys will be talking about, but you know the old line about reading the phone book . . .

Surrounding all of that will be the marimba stylings of Julie Schindall and the Schindall/Meiman Duo.

It should be a tres cool afternoon and I hope to see some of y’all there.

Part of the reason I am participating is because starting in June, I will be contributing to WEKU’s arts coverage. Think of it as Copious Notes podcasts on the air — though probably a lot shorter.
