OPB

WOW! I've always enjoyed programming on OPB, but this week is outstanding! Last night was over the top. There was Bruce Springsteen in a concert from England "We Shall Overcome", The Pete Seeger Sessions. I have the cd of this and love listening to it, and seeing it done was so excellent! And there was a show on John Denver which was very nostalgic and sweet. always did love him. Then coming up later this week is Dixie Chicks, who i listen to over and over. I've especially admired them since they publically dissed dubya, got "in trouble" for that and never backed down! All this goodness is even sweeter because Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are still reruns of previous shows... very disappointing!! Just don't know why they think they can take time off and only appear 4 nights/week when they ARE working. They are my most enjoyed source of "news", after all!

going shopping now... to the fabric store to fill in the gaps in the fabric stash so I can work on Zylie's quilt.

oh... and how could i forget? a couple of nights ago they had a show with "the best of Stars on Ice".. and figure skating is another of my gotta see it shows! it is, of course, one of their fund raising weeks, but they seem to let programs run longer before they do their pleasae donate pitching. and, yes, i have donated! wish i could give more. it is worth it to have the kind of programming they do AND to not have the damn commercials.
