It’s been another wonderful year for music, and that’s sure to continue in 2016.
We’re very grateful for all the support from artists and promoters who share their music through WORT, and to every one of you who contributes time and money to keep the station thriving. Happy Holidays and we’ll be back with fresh charts in January!
Cheers and Bright Blessings,
Sybil Augustine
WORT Music Director
