The problems with KPFA management have been ongoing for some time. They began downsizing their music programming a few years ago, eliminating live on-location broadcasts altogether. Getting rid of Raina Lee's Hawaiian Music show, Opal Nation's various theme-based music shows (his Banjo Ikey Robinson tribute is one of the treasures of my tape collection), firing Latina community activst Nina Serrano, and a host of other problems that have been going on for years. Unfortunately, they're still the best thing on local radio(where there is already VERY slim pickin's). I still listen, but I'm no longer a supporting member,and wrote them about my concerns when I discontinued my membership. I pointed out that I was a second-generation member, that my dad had mailed a pledge when they first started broadcasting in '49 ( I received no response). I won't become one again until management cleans up their act, since it seems that the language of the $ is the only one they understand. Maybe if other members withdraw their financial support, they'll get the message. In an unrelated matter BSeed, driving my daughter to a job interview prevented me from going to the Berkely Pot Luck last month, and I still want to go to one, so if you could find the time to email me off-list at mbillo@earthlink.net with details of where and when it's held, I would be very grateful. Thanks
