It's hard to believe, but this week's show marks the 18th anniversary of the first All the Traditions program, which hit the airwaves on October 13, 1996. We celebrate with some long-time favorites, and, as always, with lots of great local music and previews of upcoming shows in the VPR listening area. Thanks to everyone for listening, and for your support of all the fine locally produced programming on VPR and VPR Classical !
This program will air on Sunday October 12th from 7 - 10 p.m.
