Final tribute (RIP) to Uncle Gram 11/10/18




Uncle Gram of WUSC's Red Bank Bar and Grill
It was bittersweet to bid adieu to Uncle Gram during his former radio slot this past weekend.

Losing a friend who has been such a musical institution was hard, but the fact that we had so many DJs, friends and family in the studio to celebrate his life and his love and dedication to music made it sweet.

Thank you to all who participated and contributed... and to the listeners and musicians who were a part of his long and storied career.

If the musicians made up the fabric of The Red Bank Bar and Grill show, it was Uncle Gram who sewed their work thematically into a beautiful quilt each weekend and embellished it with his beautiful voice and intelligent invocations.

We were fortunate to have such a warm, wonderful creation to wrap around us each Saturday - and I for one am forever thankful.

He is gone but will never be forgotten.

The show was done live, for the most part, so we don't have a list of everything various djs played, but here is a list of the tributes we played.
