It’s Pledge-O-Rama time again, your opportunity to show your support and encouragement for everything that UMFM does for our community and all that it represents. One week a year we seek a little support in order to help the station survive in an uncertain world and to take on some special projects. We sure would love to hear from you! Tell the Band to Go Home listeners have been especially generous in the past so we’re hoping for another strong showing this year. On today’s show, we heard some rockin’ classics, some new music, and we welcomed some next-generation budding programmers, Austin, Joshua, and Mishka.
