** U S A. 20/21
November 25th, 2015 -- Goodbye --- Joe Truskot, host of 20/21 [caption]
http://blogs.kusp.org/aeolianimpromptu/
Thanks for your support of classical music on the Central Coast and your gifts
to make our programs happen. It’s been my special pleasure to host local
classical music organizations and to create programs for all the weeknight
shows, especially Monday Night at the Opera, KUSP OnSite and my special love —
20/21.
With the dramatic change in format, classical music no longer fit in the mix of
3 to 5 minute pop songs (mostly in easy keys, mostly with electric guitar, bass
and synthetic drums, usually with one singer and back up vocals repeating the
same words over and over again.) The new format is what it is and will find
some people in our community who enjoy it.
Please support the Cabrillo Music Festival, Carmel Bach Festival, Chamber Music
Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, and the Monterey and Santa Cruz
Symphonies. These local organizations perform or present at the highest level
and need you to attend live music concerts. They can’t exist without your
financial contributions.
Many other individuals and groups play regularly in our area, too, and they
deserve to have an audience to enjoy their efforts.
Be generous and classical music will continue to find individuals seeking
musical experiences beyond the ordinary. After all, we have Bach, Beethoven,
Mozart, Brahms, Aaron Copland, John Adams, Leonard Bernstein, Joan Tower, John
Williams and Philip Glass — to name just a few — on our side (via DXLD)
I was shocked and saddened to hear Joe say goodbye toward the end of his show
last Tuesday night, on KUSP webcast. However, listening at the same time this
Tuesday night (UT Wed Dec 2 at 0315), I am still hearing classical music. Maybe
it`s just temporary, but the new program grid of KUSP has continued to show
*some* classical in the mix. In fact, 5 different shows stripped M-F at 7-9:30
pm PST = 0300-0530 UT Tue-Sat, tho I guess 20/21 is to be replaced by something
else. Listening further, it`s not Joe, incomplete announcement at hourtop, just
playing some classical CDs (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 88.9, UT Sat Dec 5 at 0300 I bring up the webcast of KUSP Santa Cruz
CA, for the local classical music show, `On Site`. Host Robin Whitehouse
announces that this will be the last classical music show on a week night;
there had been a strip of different classical shows M-F at 7-9:30 pm PST. From
Dec 13 this show will migrate to Sunday mornings 7-10 am PST [15-18 UT]. It`s
exciting, he says. So that explains why another classical host, Joe Truskot,
announced this week that he is leaving the station. On tonight`s finale, a
classical group new to the area is featured after 0400 UT, Espressivo, ``a
small, intense orchestra``; see http://espressorch.org/index.html (Glenn
