The LAST Melting Pot. Ever, really.

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Hello, all! Hope everyone is having a great week and doing well with all their finals and such.

Me? Well, I have my last final EVER tomorrow, and then it’s graduation city for me. Which means tonight’s Melting Pot is the LAST ONE EVER on the Berklee Internet Radio Network. So won’t you tune in and share my final special show with me? There’s be lots of music and plenty of good company.

I will have two friends and fellow graduating seniors, Ann Pedersen and Stephanie Olmanni, in the booth to talk about their Berklee careers and what lies after for them. And, as a SPECIAL treat, long-graduated Trevor Grondin returns via telephone for one last shot at glory with a final episode of his much loved “Ask Trevor” segment. Can we stump the Trev-meister? Only time will tell……

Also, Angelo Caputo is back for his last Mac Talk segment….hopefully he’ll have that opening date for the new Apple Store here in Boston! And one of our favorite regulars will be bringing a final song….one last “Zanna’s Pick of the Week”! I’m sort of curious myself what she’ll play!

ALL OF THIS CAN BE YOURS, good listener. Just tune in tonight at 9pm for the FINAL Melting Pot….on the BIRN!!!!!!

….of those fabulous musicians who left us FAR too soon. Let’s honor them and take a listen to the legacy they left behind. Tonight at 9pm, on The Melting Pot.

Oh Canada!

Tonight’s show will feature music exclusively from our lovely neighbor to the north, for no other reason than Toronto was where I went on Spring Break! We’ll spend two hours playing lots of songs by Canadian artists, and you may even hear some things you already know that you had NO IDEA were by Canadian artists! Won’t a little knowledge be a great addition to your Monday night?

Unfortunately, Angelo Caputo will still be on vacation, so no “Mac Talk” segment. However, Zanna should be by for her fan-fave segment “Zanna’s Pick Of The Week,” and, as a fabulous bonus, we have ourselves a surprise Canadian guest! (Someone who can perhaps tell us firsthand about the hip and happening Canadian music scene……) So power up your internet at 9pm tonight and tune in, won’t you?

Women Musicians on the Melting Pot!

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

Tonight’s program shines a spotlight on the 11th Annual Women Musicians Network concert, this coming Thursday night at the Berklee Performance Center. Some of the talented ladies who will be performing have agreed to swing by, talk about their music, and give us live, in-studio acoustic performances, a sneak peek of what audiences can expect to hear on Thursday!

Featured tonight at 9pm Christina Fabi, Katerina Polemis, Nili Brosh, and Nicola Bunte. Hear these women share their talents, as well as our usual visit from Zanna with her “Pick Of The Week.” What more reason do you need to tune in?
