Mozart's Attic Thursday Nov 17th 10:00 PM

We'll have century-old recordings of the orchestra, directed by  Karl Muck, performances under the baton of Serge Koussevitzky and others, and we'll even hear what Arthur Fiedler has to say about the Boston Pop

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years.

(WFIT has come a long way since.)
