STAR'S END has been airing in its time slot on WXPN for over 30 years. It would
be difficult to find a show of this nature, scope and duration elsewhere on the
radio dial. Every week you hear works by an international cast of musicians
drawn from an amazing library spanning several decades. The weekly offerings of
exceptional creative realizations in music has forged a unique individual
connection to the listening experience - which is why STAR'S END has remained
relevant to the public for over three decades. Please think about your
relationship with this music. Surely STAR'S END and WXPN deserves your support
in this broadcast effort!

You listen to STAR'S END because you are seeking music with substance -
expressions of the human spirit. STAR'S END and WXPN seek to facilitate the
broadcast of these unique artistic realizations - and the creation of an
intimate listening space for contemplation and reflection. Please help us
continue to have a pivotal role in Philadelphia's radio and cultural landscape
as a presenter of original contemporary works.

We're not asking for just a few people to do alot, we're asking for alot of
people to do just a little. Please call in on the 05.17.09 broadcast of STAR'S
END and pledge! Your generosity and support are sincerely appreciated - and are
needed to keep WXPN going!

Thank You Very Much!
