Tune in for this week's Acoustic Highway when we celebrate all things, Dad. We'll hear from Dave Mallet, James Lee Stanley, Greg Winkler, local artist Joe France, and plenty of others. Also, with Pride month in full swing, we'll have a celebratory set from Brandy Clark and Texas based singer-songwriter Crys Matthews (and make plans to join WHRO at this year's Pridefest- next Saturday, June 21st at Towne Point Park). Pick up the phone and call dad- even better, go see him and tell him how much you appreciate all the things he fixed for you and tune in. The Acoustic Highway, Sunday night at 9 on WHRV.

Barry Graham used to arrive at WHRO with a briefcase full of papers and lesson plans. For 32 years he taught US and Virginia Government in the Virginia Beach Public Schools. While teaching was always his first love, radio was a close second. While attending Old Dominion, Barry was program director at WODU, the college radio station. After graduating, he came to WHRO as an overnight announcer. Originally intending to stay on only while completing graduate school, he was soon hooked on Public Radio and today is the senior announcer on WHRV. In 2001, Barry earned his Ph.D in Urban Studies by writing a history of WHRO and analyzing its impact upon local education, policy and cultural arts organizations.
