With the New Year in full swing,
Thacker
Mountain Radio—Oxford’s
only live radio
show— is on the air again. Last
season Thacker
Mountain treated fans to a great
line-up of authors and musicians,
and this season’s 12 programs promise
to be equally entertaining. The opening
show on Thursday, February 7th,
presented the sounds of Carlos Washington
& Giant People and the words
of author Bernice McFadden. The spring
line-up includes authors James McBride,
Robert Olen Butler, John Dufresne,
Nevada Barr and musical guests
Lynn Drury, Spencer Boren—and more.
Thacker Mountain
is
free and open to the
public every Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30
p.m. at Off Square Books. The show
is broadcast on WOXD-Bullseye 95.5
FM and on the Web at www.Bullseye955.com. To check
