Saturday December 19 , 2009: Going Home, the Holidays
and the less fortunate
Welcome to the member-funded, hydro-powered, volunteer-run studios of WJFF. Thanks to staff and station management for accommodating my health issues and maintaining a chemical and fragrance free environment. Complying with these accommodations allow me to continue to volunteer Saturday mornings.
Folk Plus is a mostly lyrically and theme based show of contemporary singer-songwriters, some older cuts and perhaps a spoken word or broadway entry, all based on a theme.
The station's website and stream are online at WWW.WJFFRADIO.ORG
