Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM. Keep up with us via Facebook, the blog here, or our main website, or Twitter and we’ll keep track of the schedule for you.
Last week’s show featured a documentary special from Joyce Jones on the late Abbey Lincoln to wrap up the Winter Fund Drive. It’s the last chance to receive for a copy of the 2 CD set for a $35 online pledge to WBAI which includes a year’s station membership. You can also pledge as little as $5 or consider a monthly donation which gets you station membership as a WBAI Buddy with additional benefits. We also still have a few autographed copies of Jon Else’s True South book on filmmaker Henry Hampton’s struggle to get the monumental Eyes on the Prize series on TV as a thank you gift at the $35 pledge level which includes a year’s station membership along with the book. Thanks to those who’ve already pledged we appreciate whatever help you can offer the station!
