(I have no idea what this image is supposed to mean except it's called "connections" & the original version of it is here.)
During Spring Break, when students go home or go to Austin for SXSW or go to the beach or just plain go, campus is pretty deserted, as is the radio station, & I assume, with forty thousand or so people no longer in the city, so is the listenership of WRFL. It's of course at that point that Self Help Radio decides to make a radio show about connections. Connecting with people, connecting things, managing things that connect us (like telephones). All when there's less of a chance for people to be listening than usual. Timing! One day the show will master it!
Luckily you can now connect with the show anytime at the Self Help Radio website, which itself is someplace where connections are made. The show is in two parts, & what songs I play in the two parts are below. What's not below is that I talked to a person who makes connections, to the inventor of the "loose connections" section of the classifieds, & to my spiritual mentor the Rev. Dr. Howard Gently. But that happened too!
Thanks for trying to connect. I find I try less & less as I get older & older.
