Catching up, and some things for our "Witkin watchers"

Hello!  It's been a few months since I have posted, and a lot has happened.  As some of you may know, I had to give up the "DXing with Cumbre" radio program earlier this year due to a heavy workload at WCNY-FM.  Although I'll certainly miss it, I did the program for 18 years, and some things have to take precedence, such as work and helping to run the radio station.  I hear from many of you via Facebook and Google Plus, and feel free to keep in touch.

As for the photo, it is of world-famed photographers Joel-Peter Witkin (left) and Christian Witkin (center); of course, on the right is my friend and a frequent subject of this blog, renowned painter Jerome Witkin. Jerome and Joel-Peter are identical twin brothers (Christian is Jerome's son), and they have had a joint exhibition in Los Angeles called "Twin Visions," which has attracted a lot of attention.  This exhibition of paintings from Jerome and photography from Joel-Peter is at Jack Rutberg Fine Arts in L.A., and has been held over through the end of May.  Those of you who are on Facebook can find photos and more at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jack-Rutberg-Fine-Arts-Inc/217280261669440 

Some other links related to the Witkins and their exhibition are here.

You can also hear and download a two-art interview with Jerome and Joel-Peter at the website of KCBX radio in Santa Monica; the show was for the "Ears on Art" program.  http://kcbx.org/post/jerome-and-joel-peter-witkin-twins-and-internationally-known-artists

Also, I'd like to congratulate Jerome because of his honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees from Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Connecticut; he recently spoke at their graduation ceremonies.  More at this link: http://www.theday.com/article/20140517/NWS01/140519732/1018

Congratulations to both Jerome and Joel-Peter on the success of "Twin Visions," which was many years in the making; we're very proud that this has finally happened, and that it's been such a success!

I hope to have more time to post on this blog again; thanks for your patience, everyone!

Severe technical difficulties....

Hello, everyone! As you know, we have had some frustrating production problems in recent times, and the latest was a power failure today at the station where I work. This caused a computer glitch, and the only way that our evening programming can be aired is from our production computer. That means I cannot produce the show as I had planned to do. I hope we'll be back on schedule next week. In the meantime, here is a download link from our most recent DXing with Cumbre show. Thanks for your patience!  All good things--Marie Lamb
