[Nettime-bold] Vanilla Bean tribute, WFMU-FM, Sunday, 25 November


On Sunday, November 25, WFMU will air a tribute to Frank Balesteri,
aka "the Vanilla Bean," who sadly passed away on November 3.

The Bean, who was a fixture at the station from 1981 to 1998, was one
of the most talented personalities ever to grace WFMU's airwaves.  He
had an encyclopedic knowledge of music, and was side-splittingly
funny.  His insane on-air antics inspired literally dozens of people
to do radio at FMU.  He was also suspended on numerous occasions by at
least three different program directors for a wide variety of
infractions, including calling a phone-sex line live on the air.

Sunday's broadcast will be a collection of the best moments from "The
Price Is Beans," a weekly show Frank collaborated on with Jim Price in
the mid-'90s.  Tune in and hear freeform radio at its absolute finest.

When: Sunday, November 25, 10 p.m.-midnight (Eastern time)
Where: WFMU-FM, 91.1 in the NYC area; live on the web at www.wfmu.org
