My Dad passed away on July 8 this year. He had an impact on my music, not to mention my life, and I designated this episode of The Uncle Dave Show as a special memorial to him. So it's Dad's turn, and this program corresponds to his tastes, rather than mine. This seg contains music by Sousa, Wagner, Alkan, Prokofiev and Beethoven, and while I had a hand in getting him into Alkan he didn't need my help at all with the rest of this music. This photo of my Dad was taken in 1959 -- I wasn't around quite yet. Length: 60 mins.

I am a composer, writer, sometime filmmaker and longtime collector and producer of recordings. My radio career began in Cincinnati in 1978 and continues to this very day - I am in my sixth year as a radio host at WCBN-FM Ann Arbor. I have long sought to find a way to get my various shows on the air, and I hope that this is the way - thanks be to Cesar Perez for escorting me here. My interests run from Ancient Greek Music to the avant-garde, so really you can expect to hear just about anything on my show. If you hear something you don't like, just wait a few minutes and chances are you will.
