Tune in Sunday night for an hour of local and regional musicians from the 757. There's new music from Jim Masters and also, tracks from Ron Fetner (who was the very first in-studio guest on the program over 20 years ago), Karl Werne, Mare Carmody (who now calls Asheville, North Carolina "home"), Tret Fure, and plenty of others. All local and regional artists who helped make Southeastern Virginia a real hot bed of musical talent. Catch the Highway, Sunday at 9 on WHRV.

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.
