The Acoustic Highway this week brings you (almost) new music with a new remix of a 1969 performance at the Filmore East by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Also, the latest from singer-songwriter Darrel Scott and his New Modern Hymns album which features covers of classics by Paul Simon, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and others. It is a phenomenal release. Also, local and regional artists Pamela McCarthy, Ron Fetner, and Bill Gurley. And, a track from the legendary Bruce Springsteen 1982 Nebraska release. There’s been a renewed interest in the album in the past few years. Tune in for a trip down the Acoustic Highway. Sunday night at 9 on WHRV 89.5

 

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
