Jim Masters returns to the 89.5 studios this week with an appearance on the Acoustic Highway. Jim is a long-time good friend to Public Radio Listeners and has appeared on the program countless times over the years, including each December on the traditional holiday program. He's built a loyal fan base through his many gigs throughout the region, and he has a new release out entitled" Redsky." We'll hear several tracks from it. Also, music from regional artists Bobby Plough, Tret Fure, Doug Alan Wilcox, Joe France, and Ron Fetner. It's live and local, on this week's 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.
