New show on WSMN 1590 : Art in Action!

Last week was the first broadcast of the new feature on WSMN 1590AM's Morning Liftoff show. Morning Liftoff airs from 6-10AM Monday - Friday and is hosted by five-time Golden Mike Award winner George Russell. The Art In Action feature is on every Tuesday from 9:30 - 10:00AM.

Last weeks guest was John Weidman of the Andres Institute of Art in Brookline, NH. Topics discussed were the sculpture he created which was installed at the roundabout on the South end of Main Street near Rivier College. It is one of five which was created in the inaugural year of the Nashua International Sculpture Symposium.

This weeks guest was Robin Clarke who is an instructor at Daniel Webster College, the Vice President of For The Artist, and volunteer for The Andres Institute of Art and The Nashua International Sculpture Symposium.

We spoke about her class which will be starting in January of 2009 and the impact her students will be able to bring to this community with regard to Public Art. She also spoke about her experience hosting artists for the past six years with the Andres Institute and who have created sculptures for display in New Hampshire.

Next week will be another excerpt in Nashua's art explosion which has begun this year and is sure to ignite more within the Greater Nashua community. Don't miss it, tune in next week!

Nashua History makes it on WSMN News, Again!

I was interviewed by Woody Woodland some time ago, you can read about it here in another post.. but this time on WSMN, I am actually ON WSMN. Today, being my third time on the airwaves and the fifth time I've been in the broadcasting room, was a thrilling and fantastic event I believe I had been blessed to experience.

Today, The host George Russell and I talked a little about www.nashuahistory.com and how the site makes use of the World-Wide-Web to display all of our Mayors, all the way back to 1853. Nashua History was not the main focus of the show as was the first time I was on with Woody.. but I do think there is a place for me to talk about Nashua history and also the arts in Nashua to which I am also highly involved.

Currently, I am scheduled again for this Friday - as a back-up co-host to the normal co-host Jodie Callinan. The show is a News, Sports and Talk show -- and I'm doing very well according to all of the people I've talked to who have heard me live!

Maybe I can get a picture or two of the scene while I'm there but for now, I'm going to list the picture promo of the Main Event, George & Jodi. The photo below is the 'live' link -- Click it to listen to WSMN LIVE.. maybe you'll here me ;-)!
