From “Uncle Bill” Tilford, producer and host of From the Isle of Music and Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot:
\nPersonal financial circumstances beyond my control recently made it necessary for me to discontinue broadcasts of my programs from stations in Europe, and Channel 292 has made the wonderful gesture of throwing us a going-away party – a 16 hour marathon of some of our favorite From the Isle of Music and Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot episodes on 6070 kHz on March 8 from 0800-2400 CET (0700-2300 UTC).\u00a0 \u00a0Working with the station and interacting with its listeners\u00a0 has been a joy these past few years,\u00a0 and I am deeply humbled by this act of generosity.\u00a0 I hope to be able to return to broadcasting from Europe some day.\u00a0 In the meantime, I have personally selected some favorite episodes of both shows from the past few years for this special event.\u00a0 \u00a0Let us make the most of\u00a0 this bittersweet moment.\u00a0<\/em>
