Our national pastime has its own national anthem, and now “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” has its own illustrated history marking the song’s 100th anniversary. Tim Wiles, director of research at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown is co-author of “Baseball’s Greatest Hit”. He joins Bill Jaker to tell the story of the Jack Norworth lyric and Albert Von Tilzer’s waltz and its role at the ballparks. Wiles will play some tracks from the book’s accompanying CD and lead a community sing.

Tuesday, May 27th
“The Vacant Throne” is the third book in the epic Throne of Amenkor series of fantasy-adventures by Joshua Palmatier, a Binghamton resident and professor of mathematics at SUNY-Oneonta. The city of Amenkor has withstood invasion and disaster but now an untested Mistress of the Skewed Throne must deal with an unknown enemy. Dr. Palmatier discusses how he keeps the action flowing into a fourth volume and even creates original religions and Official Minions.

A Private Audience with Al Galladoro

Proving the adage “music keeps you young”, 94-year old Oneonta-based saxophone virtuoso Al Gallodoro visited the WSKG studios for a session of music and conversation. Bringing along his alto sax and bass clarinet, and joined by longtime pianist JoAnn Chmielowski, Al played some favorites and talked about his long and fascinating career, which started in the Vaudeville era and included stints in Paul Whiteman’s band and twenty years on the staff orchestra of WJN. Want to know the secret of longevity? Then tune in for “A Private Audience With Al Gallodoro.” Friday, May 16 at 9pm on WSKG and Sunday, May 18 at 12pm on WSQX 91.5.
