I've sent my e-mail...and I'll probably send more...

Of all the audacious behaviors, WDET had the nerve to send me a "pledge renewal" form yesterday! In fact, they sent two: one for me, and one for the Paint Creek Folklore Society (of which I am a member--www.paintcreekfolkloresociety.org).

They have GOT to be kidding!!

If they are counting on us for pledges, phone volunteers, etc., perhaps they ought to consider what programs we are pledging and volunteering for...

Metro Detroit and the surrounding areas have a very large acoustic music following--there are a plethora of coffeehouse and small concert venues, where local talent and traveling national names perform regularly. "Folks Like Us" and "The Arkansas Traveler" helped promote these venues and artists, and, likewise, the local artists and clubs promoted WDET.

What would be the benefit of promoting a public radio station that has no programming of interest to you?

Keep writing...I will...
