From WRIR: "On *September 28*, join Richmond music historians Gregg Kimball and Don Harrison as they take you on a journey through Richmond's bright jewels and dark corners where its musical history happened and continues to be made. The *WRIR Music History Tour* covers 150 years of Richmond history in a two hour bus tour. From Elvis's infamous "kiss" backstage, to gospel and funk downtown and then the punk and alternative music scene that happened on Grace Street, you'll discover a history of Richmond overlooked by typical tourists. Who knows, *maybe you were a part of Richmond's music history.* *WRIR-LP 97.3 FM* airs underrepresented *music, news and views* in order to provide a platform for cultural diversity in Richmond. Techno and jazz. World music and punk. Soul and folk and straight-up rock ’n’ roll. All types of music have a home at WRIR, and all of our music programs are created by volunteer DJs and aired live." Visit WRIR's Home Page for info. and how to buy tickets.<http://www.wrir.org/> This is a fundraising effort and the cost of the tour is $25.00 - but it's well worth it. The tour begins and ends at Bandito's - the morning tour starts at 11 a.m. and the afternoon tour begins at 3pm. -- Ray Bonis Archives Coordinator Special Collections and Archives James Branch Cabell Library VCU Libraries 901 Park Ave. VCU Box 842033 Richmond, VA 23284-2033 (804) 828-1108<http://www.multiplemayhemmamma.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/telephone.jpg> [log in to unmask] *www.library.vcu.edu/jbc/speccoll/*<http://www.library.vcu.edu/jbc/speccoll/> ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
