Tune in this morning to Sunday on Blue Lake from 9 until noon on Blue Lake Public Radio and help me celebrate my anniversary with the program, which I began hosting on this date nearly 30 years ago (I'll have to check further—it might well be 30), with a celebration, in music and words, of the birthday of one of music's great "bohemians," French composer Erik Satie. This year, with his May 17 birthday again falling on a Sunday, we'll celebrate again with his music as well as that of two other composers greatly influenced by his life and work--Federico Mompou and John Cage--and will also honor a great Bohemian (in the literal sense, capital "B"), the "Father of Czech Music," Bedřich Smetana, the anniversary of whose death was just back on May 12--a date which now marks the start each year of the Prague Spring International Music Festival, which always begins with his epic masterwork, Ma Vlast, or "My Country," which we will on the program today as well. Hope you can join me!
You can hear Sunday on Blue Lake With Foley Schuler every Sunday from 9 until noon on Blue Lake Public Radio.
