egister & pay online: www.umkc.edu/commu fall ‘10 11 Somehow learning something has always been emotionally comforting to me. So in 1994 when I found myself with extra time on my hands (read: failure of long-term relationship), I looked through the Communiversity catalog for interesting courses. Hmmm. A living room group playing early music. I had always wanted to play music with my friends. I called to see the skill level involved. Her: “What instrument do you play?” Me: “Guitar.” Her: “What’s your experience?” Me: “Well, I used to play at Hootenannies in college.” Her: “You’ll fit right in.” Sixteen years later we are still gathering every month to play. The core instruments are harps, recorders and flutes, and me, the impaired guitar player. I’m still the only one who can’t read music on my instrument. But they kindly write out chords for me. I’ve learned to love Alfonso El Sabio, Praetorius, Welsh folk tunes and my fellow players. Knowing them has enriched my life beyond words and beyond measure. Thank God and Communiversity. ~ Peg McMahon #1306 A let’s revive the golden days of radio “I Love a Mystery,” “The Great Gildersleeve,” “Suspense” Remember? The great radio shows of the thirty’s and forty’s were written by people much like us. Let’s use KKFI, our community radio station, as a platform and write our own show.
