"Sunday Classics with Charlene," Sunday, Aug. 5, noon-1 p.m. — Charlene celebrates the birthday of classical crossover artist Mark O'Connor, who played at an Arts Alive concert on St. Thomas a couple of years ago. The program focuses on classics by the masters with background about the composers and the performing artists.
"The Doug Lewis Show," Sunday, Aug. 5, 1-3 p.m. — A look at artists scheduled to play at this weekend's Winterhawk Festival in east central New York state will feature music by artists such as Steve Forbert, Guy Clark, Vassar Clements, Alison Brown and Geno Delafose. Doug will celebrate the birthdays of multi-Grammy winning artist Mark O'Connor, Greg Leskiw of the Guess Who, and Rick Huxley of the Dave Clark Five; and the anniversary of record releases by the Beatles, Animals, and Moody Blues. The show mixes roots rock, classic rock, folk, blues, Celtic, Cajun and Americana with lots of trivia and a historical perspective.
