Cue Sheet – July 2nd, 2007

I SEE THE LIGHT

    It’s a little disorienting, after two and a half years of leaving home at 4:30 a.m. to start my KUAT-FM shift at 5, to wake up an hour later, leave the house at 5:30 in actual daylight, and arrive by 6. This was my first day under the new routine (although back in the 1970s and ’80s the morning shift always started at 6, so this isn’t exactly a novel experience). The traffic was just a bit heavier at 5:30 than at 4:30, and when I arrived I felt that I was already an hour behind on my various tasks. No doubt I’ll settle into the new schedule soon enough, and it’s nice to be able to get eight hours of sleep now rather than the seven I’d been surviving on.
    From now on, I’m here until noon, at which time David Harrington takes over until 7 p.m. Then, we’ll have a new program (new to KUAT, anyway): Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin. Bill, of course, is the host of St. Paul Sunday, and back in the 1980s he was the music director of the Tucson Symphony Orchestra. You can get the lowdown here on what Bill will be doing weeknights at 7.
