Hi all, For the last few years public radio stations around the country have been celebrating Public Radio Music Day to recognize public radio’s special role in the nation’s music scene, and to unite stations, fans and musicians. This year PRMD is on Wednesday, 10/26. We’ll celebrate by featuring Central Coast musicians in our playlists all day, and Neal will have a live-in-studio guest (singer-songwriter Max MacLaury). We’ll also have recorded “drop-ins” and IDs to play from performers who sent them to us over the last couple of years. Please let our listeners know PRMD is coming. I’ve attached scripts and pasted them below for the days leading up to Wednesday. Thanks! Marisa *Public Radio Music Day scripts for Friday through Monday* -Wednesday is Public Radio Music Day.
