from Transmusic Airwaves · host Transmusic Collaborative

Welcome to Transmusic Airwaves… it’s unconventional free-form radio. Today’s show celebrates Robert Fripp’s 80th birthday (born 16 May 1946) and features a Character Study of Robert Fripp & King Crimson, hosted by Transmusic Airwaves founder Paul Ciminero. It was no small task for Paul to whittle down all of Fripp’s output into a two-hour program considering he’s appeared in over 700 recordings!

It was on that day that the station hit the airwaves. On November 28 of that same year, the station birthed the WSM Barn Dance, soon renamed the Grand Ole Opry, which remains the world's longest-running radio show. Since its very beginning, WSM has (and continues to) broadcast every Opry show live, along with a daily programming lineup of talented hosts presenting classic and contemporary country music.©WSM Radio
