Musings on the versatility of a box with strings

By Diana Ross | Posted in Staff Blogs | 3 Comments

A recent newsletter “First Time” submission reminded me of this post…. So I brought it back around for a fun conversational piece. The violin is one of my favorite instruments (along with the cello).  I love the violin’s ability to express so many moods.  From a foot-stomping fiddle tune to mournful, soul-aching dirge, the violin […]

Your first time… installment #3!

By Diana Ross | Posted in Member Blogs, Staff Blogs | Comments Off on Your first time… installment #3!

Today’s stories are beautiful reminders of how deeply intertwined family and music can be in our lives. Does anyone out there take the time to pay it forward?  I think a future write-in topic should be stories about how we influence the younger generations with our love of music.  🙂   Member Patrick Kelly of […]

Your first time…. part 2!

By Diana Ross | Posted in Member Blogs, Staff Blogs | Comments Off on Your first time…. part 2!

What fun! I personally have enjoyed hearing from listeners about what helped shape their musical tastes and it got me thinking of my own story. I was a fortunate child to grow up in such a culturally rich area.  My first elementary school field trip was to see the Baltimore Symphony and they performed music […]

The other day, Kati and I embarked on our semi-annual pilgrimage to Tyson’s Galleria for a much needed Perfume Sniffa.  For a few […]

Website wrinkles

By Diana Ross | Posted in Staff Blogs, WBJC News | Comments Off on Website wrinkles

We’re going through some growing pains!  But don’t fret, we’re aware of the gremlins our tech gurus at G.1440 are working hard to exterminate them for us.  Please bear in mind we might have to take down the site for major tweaking at an inconvenient time.  It’s temporary and we will try our hardest not […]

Spam spam spam eggs and spam!

By Diana Ross | Posted in Staff Blogs | 5 Comments

If you build it, they will come… and they WILL SPAM! I’m sure that more than a few of you have noticed the weird comments that have nothing to do with anything popping up on every blog post here.  We’ve seen a high-volume of comment spammers in the last couple of weeks, and while they […]
