RACINE, Wis. – Civic Media has expanded Lou Rugani’s live “Music of the Stars” program, broadcast Sunday mornings from 7 a.m to noon from WRJN in Racine, to all of the radio stations in its state-wide network.
“This is absolutely thrilling for me,” says Rugani. “I’ve been doing this show for a long time and the thought that all of Wisconsin can now hear it is just amazing.”
Lou’s “Music of the Stars,” once named “Chicago’s most-tapeable radio show” by Chicagoland Radio, is as modern as tomorrow and as vintage as radio itself – a show you can sink your teeth into and savor.
“We’re thrilled to be able to now bring this eclectic program to places like Amery, Eau Claire and Hayward, just to name a few of Civic Media’s locations,” said Civic Media Program Director Kathryn Lake. “Lou has this extraordinarily unique way of presenting the music; it’s a great way to wake up on Sunday mornings.”
In this age of iPods and homogenized uniformity, here’s a real radio program with linear thought, song sets, authentic moods, serendipitous discovery, and illuminating collaborations of hand-selected playlists from the great universe of recorded sound, often reaching deep into forgotten corners of our collective memory, each moment resonating with the others. That’s what makes each song, instrumental, poem and comedy piece on Music of the Stars much more than it otherwise would be by itself alone.
