Reconnect with the music of your life with Wind and Rhythm. Wind and Rhythm is a one-hour weekly broadcast devoted to the music of Wind Bands hosted by Doug Brown. The show features Wind Symphonies, Wind Ensembles, Wind Orchestras, Concert Bands, Symphonic Bands, and Brass Bands with small brass, reed, and percussion ensembles too. In short, Wind and Rhythm is "the gathering place for people who love band music." Doug and his crew are thrilled to become a part of WRR in Dallas, arguably the band capital of the universe.

Many of you have probably participated in a band at some time in your lives. Perhaps it was an elementary school concert band where you learned to read music and play the clarinet. Perhaps it was later, in high school, when you marched down the field at half time with your trumpet at your lips. Whenever it was, being in the band was probably one of the most important experiences of your life. You learned about music, about friendships, and about being an integral part of some bigger than yourself.

Episode 234: Weekend Matinee

Are you thrifty? Do you go to the movies or to the theater on Saturday or Sunday afternoon to save money? Going into a darkened theater right in the middle of the day has a special kind of allure... and you save money, too. What’s not to like?
I’m one of the thrifty ones... both the theater and the movies are a great way to spend an afternoon, and this week, we’ll hear music that’ll remind us of this great diversion.
