Exploring Music is always delighted to hear ideas for topics from listeners and stations across the
country. This week’s topic on “Musical Dynasties” comes from a station in Arizona!
“Hi, I’m Andy Bade, music host for Classical 90.5, KUAT-FM, Tucson. I have a few ideas for program
themes…” Bill McGlaughlin responded, “Hey Andy, great to hear from you. I mean REALLY great.
After recording some programs up in Vermont, I arrived back in town, happy but bereft of inspiration. At
this precise moment, your email shows up with three great projects. Since I need to get to work right
away, I’m inclined to favor number three of your suggestions. So, Musical Dynasties: Gabrieli, Bach,
Mozart, Mendelssohn, Robert and Clara Schumann, Strauss: the Johanns and Richard and pop, Haydns:
Joseph and Michael. Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Keep up the good work!”
