A Prairie Home Companion
comes to Indiana
Listen to a live,
national broadcast
of A Prairie Home
Companion when
Garrison Keillor
and company
perform the
radio show on
the stage of the
IU Auditorium
Garrison and cast shown performing live on stage
in Bloomington.
WFIU will air the program on Saturday, February 16th at 6 p.m.
“The last time Garrison Keillor and the entire cast came to
Bloomington for a live broadcast was back in 1992,” says Station
Manager Christina Kuzmych. “Much has changed in the world
since then, but in Lake Wobegon, things change at a slower pace,
if at all.
“In any event,” Kuzmych adds, “it was worth waiting for
them to visit us again. WFIU is proud to bring this popular and
family friendly live broadcast to Bloomington. It’s a formidable
undertaking, but our expert WFIU staff is up to the challenge.”
This year’s engagement came about when Keillor was in
Bloomington last year to appear in a solo performance at the IU
Auditorium. He asked Auditorium Director Doug Booher when
the last time A Prairie Home Companion had done a show there.
Upon hearing that it had been fifteen years, Keillor declared that
it was indeed time to return.
“Needless to say, we didn’t argue,” says Booher. “We took
his eagerness to return as a compliment to both the Auditorium
and the great work of WFIU. This upcoming broadcast of the
show will prove to be another great collaboration between two
community gems, WFIU and the IU Auditorium.”
As the guide went to press, premium seating tickets were
still available for the live broadcast on February 16. Premium
seats are located in the first sixteen center orchestra rows. Ticket
holders are entitled to attend a post-show VIP reception that
immediately follows the broadcast in the foyer of the auditorium,
featuring hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, and live music. Premium
seating tickets are $180 each. To reserve your tickets, call 8556114 or 800-662-3311 during regular business hours.
(Attendees to the live broadcast need to arrive at the auditorium
by 5:45 p.m.)
A Prairie Home Companion is now in its thirty-second year
of production. Broadcast live Saturday evenings from the historic
Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota, it features comedy
sketches, music, and Garrison Keillor’s signature monologue,
“The News from Lake Wobegon”—stories of the fictitious little
town “that time forgot and the decades could not improve.”
Keillor also writes and hosts The Writer’s Almanac, heard
on WFIU weeknights at 7:01 p.m.. He has written more than
a dozen books, including Lake Wobegon Days, The Book of
Guys, and his most recent, Pontoon. Keillor was born in Anoka,
Minnesota, in 1942 and was graduated from the University of
Minnesota. He lives in St. Paul with his wife and daughter and
has two grandsons. He is a member of the American Academy of
Arts and Letters and the Episcopal Church.

La Jolla Music
Society Summer Fest
Sundays at 4 p.m.
The “Festival by the Sea” continues with
its eclectic blend of established chamber
repertoire, overlooked works by renowned
composers, and commissioned new music.
This month we
broadcast episodes
five through eight
of this thirteenpart series. Your
host is well-known
La Jolla resident
and classical musical lover, legendary sportscaster,
IU alumnus, and
former WFIU
Host Dick Enberg
student announcer

The February 10th program includes
Sylvia’s Dilemma, a five-minute spokensung piece by soprano Sylvia McNair,
that describes how her shift from opera to
popular song begin to make itself known.
“In 1999, I was engaged by the
Metropolitan Opera to sing the role
of Cleopatra in Handel’s opera Julius
Caesar,” McNair explains. “One day
we were rehearsing my first aria in Act
Two, where the magnificent Cleopatra is
seducing the great Julius Caesar, and while
singing ‘V’adoro pupille,’ I found myself
really wanting to sing “Embrace me, my
sweet embraceable you.”
“I thought maybe this was just a onetime occurrence, but then it happened
again during La Traviata. While singing Violetta’s toast to freedom, “Sempre
Libera,” what popped into my head was
“Don’t Fence Me In!”

Memories of the
Movement
Sunday, February 3, 8 p.m.
WFIU’s celebration of Black History
Month kicks off with this compelling
documentary about a turbulent time in
our nation’s history.
The years of the civil rights movement
are counted among the most volatile yet
vibrant times in American history. The
people and events that shaped this period
range from charismatic preachers and
actors to students and domestic workers. To celebrate the courage, conviction,
and commitment of the everyday people
who made extraordinary contributions
to American social progress, The Tavis
Smiley Show presents Memories of the
Movement.
Introduced and narrated by Tavis
Smiley, this powerful special features the
poignant, humorous, unheard, or little
known stories and anecdotes from living
civil rights figures such as actors Harry
Belafonte and Ruby Dee, preachers Jesse

In this luncheon
talk delivered
in December
of last year, IU
President Michael
McRobbie spoke
to the Economic
Club of Indiana
at the Indiana
Convention
Michael McRobbie
Center in
Indianapolis. A technology expert and
accomplished professor, McRobbie held
the position of interim provost and
vice president of academic affairs prior
to becoming president. He has led an
extensive transformation in information
technology during his time at IU. His
vision led to the university’s management
of the Internet2 Abilene network and
the acquisition of one of the world’s
twenty most powerful supercomputers.
McRobbie was selected to Computerworld
magazine’s 2004 list of “Premier 100 IT
Leaders.” A native of Australia, he earned
a bachelor’s degree from the University
of Queensland and a doctorate from
Australia National University.

Swingtime
Sunday, February 10, 9 p.m.
During the 1930s
and 1940s, many
black schools in
the U.S. maintained
traveling swing
bands to keep their
doors open during
the Depression.
Narrator Tonea
Stewart profiles
Tonea Stewart
three of the era’s
most famous bands in this showcase of the
Bama State Collegians, the Prairie View
Co-eds, and the International Sweethearts
of Rhythm.
Stewart weaves the era’s music
around interviews with surviving band
members, scholarly commentary, and
archival sound from now-deceased band
members, including the great Erskine
Hawkins. The traveling ensembles
influenced mainstream music on a grand
scale. Harlem’s top jazz orchestras pulled
talent from these bands, whose members
made enduring contributions to American
culture. Hawkins’ “Tuxedo Junction,” for
example, became the anthem for American
GIs in World War II.
The songs in this program go beyond
the iconic—“In the Mood,” “Take the A
Train,” “Henderson Stomp”—to include
lesser known gems like “Vi Vigor,”
composed for International Sweethearts
of Rhythm saxophonist Vi Burnside. Band
members describe what it was like for
them as teens, many from poor homes, to
travel the country as stars of swing.
Making History in
Massachusetts
Doctors Without
Borders
Sunday, February 17, 8 p.m.
Sunday, February 17, 9 p.m.
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick
made the journey from the south
side of Chicago to the State House of
Massachusetts. He is only the second
elected black governor in U.S. history.
Around the world, where governments
don’t function, humanitarian organizations
feed the hungry and heal the sick. The
1999 Nobel Peace Prize-winning Médecins
Sans Frontières, or Doctors Without
Borders, is one such group. Their medical
staff serves victims of war and poverty,
working under dangerous conditions. It
would be easy to romanticize their work,
but the reality contradicts that view.
In this Inside Out documentary,
correspondent Michael Goldfarb takes
us into the Niger River delta, as a team
from Doctors Without Borders returns
to the region where the organization was
founded thirty years ago.
Deval Patrick
From WBUR in Boston, this program
profiles Governor Patrick and the election
campaign that brought him into office
in January of last year. It recounts how
the Chicago native escaped poverty
and hardship by coming to school in
Massachusetts, and how he followed that
up with Harvard law school and work in
the Clinton administration. Bob Oakes
and Fred Thys report on what finally
led Patrick from private law practice to
political campaigning.
The program includes the comments of
Andrew Young and Douglas Wilder and a
discussion in the final segment on the new
politics of race across the nation, and how
the election of Deval Patrick fits into that
new reality.
Andrew Young
With Goldfarb we travel by boat
through mangrove swamps and dense
forest observing the team of physicians as
they treat malaria victims and inoculate
children against the disease. Traveling
farther into Nigeria we attend a ceremony
in which traditional healing practices
such as animal sacrifice provide a vivid
contrast to the Western science that
Doctors Without Borders offers. Finally
we listen to the doctors and nurses as they
unwind and take stock of the personal and
professional implications of their work.

From Cold War
to Cold Peace
Profiles
Sunday, February 24, 8 p.m.
February 3 – Wayne Manns
When the Soviet Union collapsed in
the early 1990s, there was a chance for
cooperation where there had once been
conflict. For a while it seemed friendship
might replace the bitter legacy of the Cold
War. But eighteen
years after the fall
of the Berlin Wall,
relations between
Washington and
Moscow are once
again icy.
Ray Suarez looks
at how President
Putin has retained
Vladimir Putin
his popularity
despite cracking down on political
freedom in Russia. He also explores
Russia’s position on the independence of
Kosovo and what it says about Russia’s
foreign policy.
Andrea Koppel narrates an archival
audio tour of the history of US-Russian
relations since the fall of the Soviet
Union. She speaks with James Goldgeier,
professor of political science at The
George Washington University.
Garrick Utley looks back at the Clinton
administration’s efforts to expand NATO
while maintaining friendly relations
with Russia. He is joined by Warren
Christopher, former Secretary of State;
Anthony Lake, former National Security
Advisor; Strobe Talbott, former Deputy
Secretary of State, and others.
Figurative painter Wayne Manns uses a Brazilian-influenced
palette of bold colors to depict jazz musicians and the
black experience. He has had numerous group and solo
shows throughout the U.S., Europe, and South America;
and his work is represented in numerous private and public
collections, including IU’s Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.
As a curator, he has overseen exhibits at the Kinsey Institute
and the Mathers Museum; and in San Francisco he worked
with at-risk youth to create a mural of Rosa Parks that won a
Best New Mural Award of 1997. Shana Ritter is the host.
Sundays at 7 p.m.
February 10 – George List
George List is a major figure in the field of ethnomusicology.
The professor emeritus of folklore and ethnomusicology
has been, in his ninety-six years, an archivist, researcher,
translator, magazine editor, composer, conductor, flutist, and
choreographer. He was director of Indiana University’s Archive
of Traditional Music for more than two decades, during which
time he built the Archives into a nationally-known resource.
Dr. List lost his sight at age 66 yet has continued a prolific
output of journal articles and reviews. His books include
Music and Poetry in a Colombian Village: A Tri-Cultural
Heritage. He spoke with George Walker. (repeat)
February 17 – Malcolm Abrams
Malcolm Abrams is founder, publisher, and editor of
Bloomington’s culture and lifestyle magazine, Bloom. His
work has appeared in many magazines and newspapers
including Ladies’ Home Journal, Playboy, and The Toronto
Globe & Mail, and has been syndicated by both the New York
Times and the Los Angeles Times syndicates. He has worked
for Rupert Murdoch as vice president/editorial director of
Murdoch Business Magazines, where he was responsible for
twenty publications. Abrams is the co-author of Future Stuff,
and its sequel, More Future Stuff, both published by Viking
Penguin. Moya Andrews hosts. (repeat)
February 24 – Jim Naremore

Ned Rorem is WFIU’s featured
contemporary composer for February.
Rorem was born in Richmond,
Indiana and attended music school at
Northwestern University and the Curtis
Institute
of Music.
He studied
composition
under Bernard
Wagenaar
at Juilliard,
taking his B.A.
in 1946 and his
M.A. degree
(along with
the George
Gershwin
Ned Rorem
Memorial
Prize in composition) in 1948. Rorem has
received the Fulbright and the Guggenheim
and has been commissioned by everyone
from the Ford Foundation to the Chicago
Symphony.
Time Magazine has called him “the
world’s best composer of art songs,” yet
his musical and literary ventures extend far
beyond this specialized field. Rorem has
composed three symphonies, four piano
concertos, and an array of other orchestral
works; music for numerous combinations
of chamber forces, six operas, choral
works of every description, ballets and
other music for the theater, and hundreds
of songs and cycles. He is the author of
fourteen books, including five volumes
of diaries and collections of lectures and
criticism.
WFIU will showcase the works of Ned
Rorem throughout the month of February.

and themes as part of the daily mix
on Joe Bourne’s Just You and Me, and
on our Saturday evening jazz program
Night Lights as well, saluting Black
History Month with shows such as “Suite
History” (featuring extended musical
depictions of African-American history
by Duke Ellington, Oliver Nelson, and
John Carter), “The Langston Hughes
Songbook,” and “Say It Loud: BlackPride Soul Jazz.” Another program pays
a 75th birthday tribute to hardbop tenor
saxophonist John Handy, focusing on his
early recordings with Charles Mingus and
his rarely heard Roulette and Columbia
albums from the 1960s. All of these
programs, as always, will be archived

Playing For Pizza by John Grisham
Airs February 11 through March 4
John Grisham’s latest
novel is “a light-hearted
story of football, food,
and love” (The Richmond Times-Dispatch).
Rick Dockery
was the third-string
quarterback for the
Cleveland Browns. In
John Grisham
a championship game
against Denver, to the surprise and dismay
of virtually everyone, Rick actually got
into the game. With a 17-point lead and
just minutes to go, Rick provided what
was arguably the worst single performance
in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he
became a national laughingstock, was
immediately cut by the Browns, and
shunned by all other teams.
But all Rick knows is football, and he
insists that his agent, Arnie, find a team
that needs him. Against enormous odds
Arnie finally locates just such a team and
informs Rick that, miraculously, he can in
fact now be a starting quarterback—for
the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy.
Italians do play American football
(after a fashion) and the Parma Panthers
desperately want a former NFL player at
their helm. So Rick reluctantly agrees to
play for the Panthers, at least until a better
offer comes along, and heads to Italy. He
knows nothing about Parma, has never
been to Europe, and doesn’t understand a
word of Italian.
To say that Italy—the land of opera,
fine wines, extremely small cars, romance,
and Football Americano—holds a few
surprises for Rick Dockery would be something of an understatement.

Leaving a Legacy
by Nancy Krueger,
Major Gifts and Grants Officer
Leaving a legacy that is aligned with your values is easy—mention
public radio in your will. A bequest to WFIU helps ensure your
property is distributed according to your needs and wishes.
A charitable bequest may be in the form of cash, securities,
real estate, or other property. It is generally not subject to estate
or inheritance taxes and it significantly reduces the tax burden of
your estate.
You can make a gift through your will for a specific dollar
amount, a percentage of your total estate, or as a residual portion
of your estate after payment of expenses and all other specific
bequests have been made. Gifts come in many sizes—even one
or two percent of the remainder of your estate could make a big
difference to your public radio station.
Bequests can also be made to benefit a specific program area
of WFIU’s broadcasting day, such as news from the BBC, local
news, or, say, A Moment of Science or Harmonia.
Help ensure the continuation of WFIU’s on-air services to
communities in south-central Indiana for many years to come by
giving back to the station that has contributed so much to the
quality of your life.
To discuss making a bequest or for assistance in drafting bequest language, contact Nancy Krueger at (812) 855-2935.
More information on ways to make a gift can also be found at
www.wfiu.org/majorgiving.
To remember WFIU in your will, provide your attorney with the following
statement:
“I give, devise, and bequeath [the sum of/a percentage of/or the residue of my
estate] to the Indiana University Foundation, a nonprofit Indiana corporation with
principal offices in Bloomington, Indiana, for the benefit and unrestricted support
of WFIU, Indiana University, Bloomington campus.”

Long Distance Love
While the Oscars are
being handed out in
Hollywood, WFIU
will broadcast a
sort of “Alternative
Academy Awards
of 2007,” as movie
review Peter NobleKuchera interviews
Professor Emeritus
of Communication
Peter Noble-Kuchera
and Culture James
Naremore on Profiles. They will analyze
recent movie trends and discuss their
favorites of last year—including some
lesser-known films that you may
have missed.
“Two thousand seven
was a year of lackluster
blockbusters,” says NobleKuchera, “but dazzling
independent features, almost
too many to take into account.
It was a year in which an
animated rat was upstaged
by an animated Iranian
girl. And the long-overdue
writers’ strike paralyzed
the industry, threatening
even that most stalwart of institutions, the
80th annual Academy Awards show.”
For more information on James
Naremore, see Profiles listings on page 5.
From Radio Netherlands comes Long Distance Love, two tales of transatlantic romance
to warm up your Valentines Day.
In the first half hour: “From Brooklyn to Banja Luka,” the story of a New Yorker
and a Serb who overcame their passionate irritation at each other’s cultural and personal
peccadilloes to build a life and a family together.
The second half hour, “Mucho Corazon,” tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers
from Holland and Cuba who struggle to find a way to be together while their
governments work to keep them apart.

This radio drama tells the story of the 332nd
fighter group, also known as the Tuskegee
Airmen, who overcame segregation and
prejudice to become one of the most highly
respected fighter groups of World War II.
The group never lost a plane it was
protecting to air fire, only to assaults from
the ground. They proved conclusively that
blacks could fly and maintain sophisticated
combat aircraft, overcoming doubt by many
in the military. The Tuskegee Airmen’s
achievements, together with the men and
women who supported them, paved the way
for full integration of the U.S. military.
The program includes an interview with
retired Lt. Col. John Mosley, a member
of the Tuskegee Airmen, as well as period
music by composer Joe Bonner.
