Goodbye, August. Goodbye, Mr. Berry.
Today, Daniel Berry retires from the Knoxville Public Radio station WUOT-FM. Last night was his last broadcast of Echoes Of A Golden Age; today was his last Morning Concert show. I don't know how the town's upper crust will get along without hearing "La Danza" at the crack of 9AM weekdays, or that ancient recording of the overture to Il Pagliacci once a week. Daniel seemed to have more fun than anybody in any form of mass media--more than both the brothers on Car Talk if you can believe it.
I wasn't a big fan of classical music, and I'm still not much of one...but I'm going to miss him, and I can't imagine how the station could fill his chair.
