Back in the 80's we had a commercial-free classical music station out
here in Seattle called KUOW (which sadly has long since switched to a
nearlly all-talk format).

Back in those days I was still young and energetic enough to be able

to
sit up nearly all night working on projects while listening to the
radio. My program of choice was "Music Through the Night" which in

the
mid to late 80s featured an announcer whose deliverly was so
understated that he seemed like a phantasm.

I believe the show was produced by Minnesota Public Radio and may have
been distributed by American Public Radio or Public Radio

International
or something like that. I seem to recall noticing that the

distributor
was not NPR.

Does anyone reading this recall that program, and more particularly,
the name of the announcer?

Is this the person who would occasionally insert weather forecasts for
selected portions of the country by saying something like "Prospects
for the central time zone. Snow. In the northern plains." with a very
slow delivery (his use of "prospects" was fairly frequent and rather
distinctive of him)? If so, the name that comes to mind right now is
Arthur Hayne (or Haine). I recall impersonating him once to get a
laugh from a colleague who was all too familiar with his slow delivery.


You always were a bit slow, Dickless. Butt what does that have to do
with ne.weather?


I keep getting email invitations to join some yahoogroup about weather -
nw.weather must be infested with spammers as well as trolls.


Ask not for whom the poast trolls, for it trolls for thee.

Merry Xmas, Bruce.


Xmas is over, Bruce. Its already Boxing Day down here.
