Classics for Voice

Host: Heinrich Strauch
Airs: Sundays from 10pm to midnight and beyond

Be it Opera, Choral, or Song − anything in the field of classical music that requires one or more voices is fair game for Classics for Voice. "Opera and Song have only in recent years captured my attention", says Heinrich Strauch, Host of the show. "I grew up with Choral and Symphonic music, and doing this show on WJFF allows me to explore and research the repertoire and discover new territory − although Bach will probably always remain my favorite composer of all times. What I want to do with the show is to cover the whole spectrum of vocal music. Every two weeks or so I´m playing a complete Opera, and in between the programs are a mix of everything. It´s fun to build a program around a focal point and pull in music from all sides that somehow relates to that idea."

A native of Germany, Heinrich moved to the US in 1996, and has been a resident of Sullivan County since 2000, first as a weekender but now full-time. Not a singer himself, he continues to be in awe of the ability of great singers to translate human emotions into beautiful sounds. "The more I listen, the more it seems to me that the voice is the best instrument there is."

Cosmic Calendar

Host: Jim McKeegan
Airs: Monday at 7:19am, Wednesday at 5:59pm and Sunday at 6:59pm
Email: jimandlisa@pronetisp.net

The Radio Catskill Cosmic Calendar is a 90 second feature produced by Jim McKeegan and describes events in our night sky that can be observed locally. The program makes us realize that Astronomy is more than just looking at stars. Jim shows us how myths, stories, mathematics, religion and philosophy all contribute to our culture's awe of the sky. Jim's interest in Astronomy began when he was a child. After he and his wife Lisa Brody moved to Cochecton five years ago—where the skies are very dark—his interest was sparked anew. He is primarily self-taught, and his radio pieces are very accessible. You don't need any prior knowledge of Astronomy to gain from the program. Nor do you need a lot of expensive equipment to get out and see a lot in the night sky.

Old Skool Sessions

Host: DJ Chucks
Airs: Saturday evenings from 10pm to late
Email: djchucks@djchucks.com

What you’ll hear on Saturday nights with Chucks is Old Skool. And that, he says, is “anything that the commercial stations don’t play anymore,” or “real good music.” You’ll hear 60’s, 70’s, 80’s music - rock, soft pop, early rock and punk, maybe even a little honky-tonk drum roll. Chuck’s likes the 80’s sounds because it’s what he grew up with. Rap was part of his street turntabling in the late 70’s, but didn’t get on vinyl and onto the radio until the early ‘80’s. And you’ll hear those early sounds on the Old Skool Session. Chucks’ mother is from Jamaica, and her love of Jamaican music was passed onto Chucks. Tune in for his occasional Rock Steady shows that pay tribute to the blue beat, rock steady, ska and reggae music from Jamaica. And Chucks loves to bring us hip-hop, garage, and disco music. Listen in on Saturday nights from 10pm on—you’ll be in for a treat!

I named the show after a CCR song which rambles in several different directions during its 7 minutes and 9 seconds. There is so much great music around in so many different genres that I would never want to rule anything out. I tend to lean toward Americana Roots, Alt Country, Early Rock and Folk but those are just starting points. Working at WJFF and doing a music show brings me great joy. I have fun doing the show and I hope you will have fun listening. Oh, by the way, I like to throw birthday parties on my show for people like T Bone Burnett, John Prine, Rick Nelson, and Tom Waits to name a few."

Riverside Café

Host: Maureen Neville
Airs: Thursdays evenings from 9 to 10pm
Email: mneville@ptd.net

Maureen originally conceived her program to "celebrate music being played on small stages." This focus continues, but in an effort to achieve more diversity, the show has gradually broadened its spectrum. According to Maureen,"I started out playing mostly contemporary folk on my show. Then I'd hear this great acoustic blues artist that I just had to play. Another day I'd discover this fabulous country song which wasn't considered country enough for the country stations. So, of course I felt compelled to play that too. Basically, the show had its own natural evolution due to the fact that I couldn't restrict myself to any particular genre. Hopefully, when you tune in, you'll hear a great mix of folk, blues,and some of those places in-between." For more on Maureen and Riverside Café, visit the webpage here.
