George Gershwin Alone
Sunday, October 16, 8 p.m.
Hershey Felder stars in "George Gershwin Alone," a one-man,
two-hour musical play that re-creates the world of the man known
as "America's composer." The show tells the story of the
son of Russian immigrants who absorbed the musical styles, rhythms
and sophistication of America's spirit and fashioned them into a
musical language.
As Gershwin, Felder (who also wrote the show) sings, plays piano,
and tells stories in this production recorded live at the Royal
George Theater in Chicago.
"I have simply presented the man and his music in his own words
and notes," he says, "talking to the people he loved most:
his audience."
With his brother Ira, George Gershwin wrote standards such as "The
Man I Love," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Embraceable
You," "Fascinating Rhythm," "I Got Rhythm,"
"'S Wonderful" and "They Can't Take That Away from
Me." His groundbreaking opera "Porgy and Bess" is
now considered an American classic. All told, George Gershwin wrote
more than one thousand songs for the stage and screen as well as
works for the opera house and the symphony orchestra. Pianist-pedagogue-composer
and critic Abram Chasins said that Gershwin's music combined, "Russian
sentimentality, Jewish sorrow, Broadway pep and French ooh-la-la.
In short, typically American."
To create this work, the Gershwin family gave Felder unfettered
access to the artist's manuscripts, personal and professional papers
and recordings. He conducted further research with Gershwin family
members, biographers, friends and associates and at the Library
of Congress, which houses the entire George and Ira Gershwin family
archives, as well as the composer's Steinway piano. Felder also
studied Gershwin's radio show recordings to capture his vocal approach
to speech and song in the "jazz age."
This stage performance has been touring major cities throughout
the U.S., including New York, London, Washington, D.C., Boston,
and Los Angeles, and continues to play to sold-out houses around
the world.
Return to a time when America was young and the streets of New York
were teeming with energy . . . and George Gershwin captured the
sound of it all.

The Birthday of the World: Music
and Traditions of the Jewish High Holy Days
Narrated by Leonard Nimoy, The Birthday of the World illuminates
the important prayers of the High Holy Days and features some of
the most inspiring music in the Jewish liturgical tradition, focusing
on the universal themes of redemption and divine forgiveness. The
music is performed by the acclaimed Western Wind Vocal Ensemble,
who are joined by four guest cantors, several other noted singers,
and a shofar player. The narration was written by Rabbi Gerald Skolnick.
Part I: Rosh Hashanah
Sunday, October 2, 8 p.m.
The High Holy Days begin with Rosh Hashanah, literally "the
head of the year" or "new year." This program presents
the day's major prayers, illuminating the deeper structure of the
liturgy. The music is drawn from the widest possible variety of
Jewish traditions, including ancient chants and folk melodies, 19th-century
compositions by Lewandowski and Kaminsky, and contemporary compositions
and arrangements by Helfman, Secunda, and Levine.
Part II: Yom Kippur
Sunday, October 9, 8 p.m.
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, brings the penitential period
of the Jewish New Year to its fulfillment. Traditionally, Jews fast
from sunset to sunset and spend the entire day in prayer in the
synagogue. The enormously rich liturgy contains some of Judaism's
most profound and moving music. This program presents most of the
important prayers from the Yom Kippur liturgy. The Western Wind
is joined by four outstanding cantors: Alberto Mizrahi, Faith Steinsnyder
Gurney, Jacob Ben-Zion Mendelson, and Charles Osborne.

Sunday, October 30, 9 p.m.
A few years ago, Nick Gold, the producer of the album "The

the 1970s and '80s they were the masters of Afro-Cuban music. Gold
convinced them to get back on the road and now they're more successful
than ever, melding salsa rhythms with African beats on stage at
Carnegie Hall.

Married to the Military
Sunday, October 23, 8 p.m.
The United States is making huge demands on its military people;
the toughest since the Vietnam War. But the military has changed
since Vietnam. Then, most soldiers were young, single men. Today,
in the all-volunteer military, about half of all service people
are married with children, so the burdens of fighting these wars
are shared in military homes and military towns.
Married to the Military enters the private world of the home front.
Through audio diaries and extensive interviews with soldiers and
their families, the documentary explores the military as a career
choice and as a way of life for families-and as an industry in a
military town. What kind of bargain do families and communities
strike in signing on with the military?
Producer John Biewen takes us to Fort Bragg, the nation's largest
Army post, and its home, Fayetteville, North Carolina, for a look
inside the private world of the home front. Our main guide to military
family life is Jeannette Mulligan, wife of Sgt. Clinton Mulligan
of the 82nd Airborne Division. Mrs. Mulligan recorded a journal
and moments from her daily life over several months.
"[W]hen you become a military wife," she says, "you
know what you're getting into. You're signing up for the military
just as much as your spouse is. . . . [M]y husband likes to tell
the kids, 'Suck it up and drive on, soldier.'"
Join us for this compelling visit to a military community where
wives, husbands, and children send off their soldiers, wait until
they come home . . . and send them off again.

A Day in the Life On . . . Capital
Hill
Sunday, October 30, 8 p.m.
What if a radio reporter had been able to follow and record John
F. Kennedy through an entire day during his first term in Congress?
Or what if that reporter had shadowed Margaret Chase Smith, the
first woman to serve in the U.S. Congress as she delivered her declaration
of conscience against McCarthyism in 1950?
A Day in the Life . . . on Capitol Hill uses that premise to full
effect. Hosted by Melinda Wittstock, this riveting special takes
you out of the tour lines and into the rooms where national policy
is set and local concerns become part of the national agenda. It
features short fly-on-the-wall documentaries that profile a typical
day for some of Capitol Hill's most influential lawmakers: Sen.
George Allen (R-VA), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), Rep. Shelley
Moore Capito (R-WV), Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA). You'll also hear
from Sen. Craig Thomas (R-WY), Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), and Rep.
Duke Cunningham (R-CA).
Don't miss this rare opportunity to get behind the scenes with our
elected lawmakers on the Hill.

Ira Glass to speak at IU Auditorium
Ira Glass, host and creator of This American Life, will make a
rare appearance in Bloomington when he speaks at the IU Auditorium
on October 15th at 8 p.m.
Glass will take the audience behind the scenes of TAL in his talk,
"Radio Stories and Other Stories." Sitting at a six-foot
skirted table, with two CD players, a microphone, and a mic mixer
in front of him, he will deconstruct TAL by playing various pieces
of tape, monologues, found tapes and interviews, and explain how
they were found, edited, and chosen. He will also show how music
is selected and edited to augment the narrative structure of the
stories. The audience will gain a better understanding of how TAL
producers create the seamless narratives that have become the program's
hallmark.
(There will also be a WFIU members-only reception with Ira Glass
before the concert at the Neil-Marshall Black Cultural Center. For
tickets to the concert and reception, visit wfiu.indiana.edu. For
tickets to the concert alone go to www.iuauditorium.com.)
Since premiering on Chicago's public radio station WBEZ in 1995,
This American Life has become one of the most influential documentary
series in any medium. In the words of radio producer Jay Allison,
the stories on TAL are "as fully strange and hopeful and funny
and harsh and romantic as America itself; and occasionally all at
the same time. They sprawl outside the usual standard-issue broadcast
confines, telling about the way it actually was, what it felt like,
what really happened." The program has won the highest honors
for broadcasting and journalistic excellence, and the American Journalism
Review declared the show to be "at the vanguard of a journalistic
revolution." More than 1.7 million listeners listen to the
program each week. WFIU broadasts the TAL Sundays at 10 a.m.
Hear Ira Glass at the IU Auditorium and find out for yourself why
Time magazine named Glass "Best Radio Host in America."

This American Life: Movies for the
radio
If you've never heard This American Life it can be a hard
show to describe. Perhaps it's easy to say what it's not. It's not
a news show or a talk show or a call-in show. It's not really formatted
like other radio shows at all. Instead, the program's producers
create stories that are like movies for radio. There are people
in dramatic situations where things happen to them. There are funny
moments and emotional moments and-this is something the producers
really strive for-moments where the people in the story say interesting,
surprising things about it all. As the producers say, "It has
to be surprising. It has to be fun. There are shows on public radio
with no sense of fun or surprise and we don't like those shows."
Each week Ira Glass and his small staff choose a theme and put together
different kinds of stories on that theme. In their words:
"It gives us a reason to have a story about, say, a contest
where everyone stands around a truck for days until one person is
left standing. Or a grown man trying to convince his friend that
he has heard the greatest phone message ever made. Or a man who's
obsessed with Niagara Falls, lives minutes from the Falls, writes
and thinks about the Falls all the time, but who can't bring himself
to actually visit the Falls, because, as he says, 'they've ruined
the Falls.' If you're not doing stories about the news, or celebrities,
or things people have ever heard of elsewhere, have to give people
a reason to keep listening. The themes make it seem like there is
a reason."
A listener to TAL might wonder, "Is this journalism or . .
. something else?" The producers do in fact consider the show
journalism.
"One of the people who helped shape the program, Paul Tough,
says that what we're doing is applying the tools of journalism to
everyday, personal lives. Which is true. It's also true that the
journalism we do tends to use a lot of the techniques of fiction:
scenes and characters and narrative threads. Meanwhile, the fiction
we have on the show functions like journalism: it's fiction that
describes what it's like to be here, now, in America. What we like
are stories that are both funny and sad. Personal and sort of epic
at the same time."
TAL is known for presenting stories that are quirky and unpredictable.
There was the show where a recorder taped for 24 hours in an all-night
restaurant. And the show where a producer put a band together from
the musicians' classified ads. The show where someone followed a
group of swing voters for months, recording their reactions to everything
that happened in the election up through their final decision. And
the show where one of the show's contributors went on a fast to
find out if, in fact, fasting leads to enlightenment as promised.
"We view This American Life as an experiment," says the
producers. "We try things. We're a documentary show for people
who normally don't like documentaries."

The Ether Game Baby Announcement
Sometimes, fans of WFIU's Ether Game like to incorporate the musical
quiz program into their lives in unusual ways. This is the first
time, however, that we heard of a family announcing a new member
of the family over the program.
When Eytan Uslan found out that his wife Kate was pregnant, it wasn't
enough just to tell their relatives in the normal way. They had
to do through Ether Game. This required some plotting on Eytan's
part.
Eytan knew that Kate's mother, Marilyn Breiter, was an Ether Game
fan, because years before the three of them-Marilyn, Eytan, and
Kate-used to listen on Tuesday evenings back when Eytan lived in
Bloomington and was a student at the IU School of Music. Back then,
Eytan and Marilyn played as "The Ragin' Cajun and his Mother-in-Law."
But Eytan and Kate had since moved to Charlotte, North Carolina,
thus breaking up their Ether Game parties. So when Eytan and Kate
got the news that Kate was expecting, they proposed a trans-state
Ether Game party to be held on July 12th of this year. Eytan and
Kate would listen to Ether Game in Charlotte over WFIU's Web stream,
while Marilyn and her husband Don would listen on their radio in
Bloomington from their new home on Baldwin Drive.
That night, Marilyn got the answer right for the very first piece
that was played, calling in "Josef Haydn" as the composer.
Marilyn used her new pseudonym, "Night on Baldwin Mountain,"
and won a CD as the tenth caller. Marilyn and Don were so excited
to have won, that they almost missed the announced name of another
winner: "The Ragin' Cajun . . . and his Pregnant Wife."
Kate says that it took Mom and Dad about twenty seconds to call
for details about the good news. It was a joyful sharing. The baby,
a first grandchild, is expected in March of next year.

The Radio Reader
with Dick Estell
"Riders of the Wind"
by Robert F. DeBurgh
Begins: Friday, October 14
"Riders of the Wind" is set in the turbulent times of
the 1920s and 1930s. It traces the lives, loves, and adventures
of six people through this heroic era in aviation.
Loosely based on the life of airmail and airline pilot Charles A.
Cross, Jr., the book graphically portrays the adventure and romance
of flight in the pioneering years before World War II. It takes
the reader into the cockpit with the airmail pilots battling the
night through horrific weather, and with route survey pilots as
they fly into the wilds of the Amazon. It guides the reader through
the speakeasies of the Prohibition era, the depths of the Depression,
and ultimately to the eagle squadrons in the Battle of Britain.
Told in very human terms, the story also portrays the courtship
and deep abiding love between Charlie Cross and his wife, Doretta,
and the friendship and camaraderie in the world of aviation in that
era.
Author Robert DeBurgh learned to fly at the age of fifteen has been
a flight instructor, cargo pilot, mail pilot, bush pilot, mercenary
fighter pilot and has served as captain for three airlines. He has
written aviation articles and stories for various publications and
has written many science fiction and fantasy short stories. This
is his first novel.
