Today

Today would have been Marion's 52nd birthday. She was looking forward to visiting a friend in Maine for a few days, and to the upcoming release of the new Hobbit movie. Something happened on WHRB this afternoon that would have had her laughing hysterically. The announcer found himself unable to cope with the sudden loss of audio on the station, and went on the air with a long, rambling apology, first for the dead air and then for not knowing anything about classical music, which he had to play until the start of the next Orgy® program. I can hear her delightful laughter. I miss her.

A radio tribute

WHRB's David Elliott included this tribute to Marion in his Saturday afternoon vocal music program yesterday (if that link doesn't work, try this one).
