Ju...I was the first program director at KSBR radio. Just after we signed on in May of 1979, this very charming woman made an appointment to talk to me about a Latin jazz show she had an idea for. It was then I met the amazing Rae Arroyo. Honestly, I didn't have clue about Latin jazz -- we were an eclectic station with jazz and pop, drama, poetry centered largely around a really solid local news operation. But Rae was so enthusiastic, so on fire about the music, I just new in my gut her show would click and it did. We gave her an early evening 1 hour slot on Saturday night which became overwhelmingly popular and grew into 6 hours, interrupted only in basketball season for two hours of live game coverage (which Rae hated but very kindly put up with.) The music and Rae were infectious.Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855754714498392072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505509530511556165.post-57639628612599350472009-12-04T23:38:17.878-05:002009-12-04T23:38:17.878-05:00LAMO CORNELIO(CORNELIUS)Igrew up back east brookyn...LAMO CORNELIO(CORNELIUS)Igrew up back east brookyn,ny the music scene was very rich for me-wevd-symphony sid,dick recardo sugar latin-jazz was thew most the mambonks never had the chance but heard the music by tito puente ,machito years later at NY MAnhattan center,palladin,bronx casino/hotel st george dance mambo,charangas had a ball and at 62 still do music is a taperisty of color with all universal flavors for everyone to embrace....PEACE AND AGAPE LOVE/..WWW.MOBAY0987@GMAIL.COMAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682562107600373608noreply@blogger.com
