Utican Bob Hubbard on French Radio!!

Not just because Bob is my brother (and is brilliant) but this was pretty damn impressive:

Hello All,

I'll be on French radio on Friday - it will be available on 99.1 FM in France or as podcast. See attached flyer - solo drum improv I did as well as something with Catherine and Francois. Also at "The Living Theater" with Catherine Sikora and Francois Grillot on July 2 . Then John Zorn's Club "The Stone" with Ken Filiano and Bob Feldman on July 13.

Bob

This program will be airing live at 1:30 PM Eastern this Friday on Radio HDR 99.1.

"Potent Potables" May 9, 2008

(Week 122)

This RADIOLA! is a virtual bender in honor of a station-wide email sent last week by WHCL's General Manager: We will NOT be airing on Friday evening. It is ILLEGAL to be on the air when one is intoxicated, so don't even try it.

First of all, RADIOLA! will be on, as usual, at 8 PM Eastern on WHCL (with streaming HERE)--and the evening broadcasters tend to be "sober men and true." Although tonight anything might happen. I'll upload the broadcast to Live365 once the room stops spinning.

Also, we toast the memory of Chicago tenor sax legend Franz Jackson, who died May 6.
