Notable departures:
As mentioned in a previous program guide, we sadly lost a wonderful friend, a great musician and a very dedicated volunteer when Dean Hildebrandt, longtime host of Monday Morning Jazz passed away in the spring. He is still missed.
Eugene Hazanov, longtime host of Wednesday Synthesis, with his Ear Stretcher program, retired from his weekly show this past spring as well, also mentioned in a previous guide article. His show is missed by fans of progressive rock and outré sounds.
Abe has moved on from his A-to-Z show this spring as well, where he rocked the airwaves on Wednesday nights.
Mike Marti commenced his retirement from Monday Synthesis, with his Marti Party, on his July 5th show. Fans will miss his mix of pop musics from the late 40's thru the mid-60's, as well as his quizzes about pop music history. He promises to stay active as a volunteer here at UH.
Jazzy Jayne retired from Tuesday Accent on Jazz in July, taking with her a unique passion for jazz and its' best up-and-coming musicians... as well as her theme song, "My Romance", in many unique iterations. She still stays active behind our scenes.
Kevin Lamkins left his Thursday Synthesis slot in August, where he held court with Riot Radio every Thursday afternoon. Kevin Lamkins continues to co-produce Radio Active, heard every Wednesday at noon here on UH Radio.
