The time? 3-6 PM EST. The number? 800-989-9368. Do it!

_________________________

Hello everybody! It's Terre T, the host of The Cherry Blossom Clinic, heard every Saturday from 3-6 PM EST on WFMU (91.1FM/www. wfmu. org).

This is the last week of WFMU's two-week long fundraising marathon. This is how the station raises its operating budget for the entire year. We are COMPLETELY LISTENER SPONSORED. That means no corporate ads,no govt grants, no underwriting, no commercials. It's up to listeners like you to help us stay solvent and on the air so that we can bring you freeform radio the way you love it.

I'm doing my last Marathon show Sat. afternoon – Saturday March 8th from 3-6 PM EST, asking for your pledges to help keep WFMU up and running for another year.

If you're a fan of my show, I am begging you to pledge! It's important for fans of the Cherry Blossom Clinic to stand up and be counted! Let everybody know that you enjoy the show and that it's special to you.

I'm asking you to call 1-800-989-9368 or pledge on your computer at www. wfmu. org between 3-6 PM EST tomorrow, Saturday day, March 8th
(And if you are truly unable to pledge during the show, you can email your pledge to me by Sat until 5:30pm, and I will write it up for you! Just send it to terre@wfmu.org, and give your full name, address and pledge amount.This way u will get into any prize drawings i'm having and u will get my premiums that are only available during my show)



Maybe you listen over the radio. Or on the live stream. Or via the extensive WFMU archives. Maybe you've won tickets on the show. Or perhaps your band has played on the CBC. Or you've discovered some of your favorite bands by listening every Saturday. Whatever it is, you need to do the right thing and pay it back TODAY!

Simply put, without your pledges, there is no WFMU. So if the Cherry Blossom Clinic has been important to you over the last year, now is the time to show your support!

That's 1-800-989-9368 or www. wfmu. org SATURDAY,March8, between 3-6 PM EST!

IF u pledge $75 or more u AUTOMATICALLY gets my new exclusive premium,BLACK CHERRIES, available ONLY during my show!
BLACK CHERRIES, features 27 tracks of great and rare out of print punk, psych and glam taken mostly from 7"s! Your friends will drool with envy!
You also get a CHERRY BLOSSOM CLINIC BUTTON PACK, with three amazingly cool buttons that you can't get ANYWHERE ELSE!

The CD and buttons are available ONLY by pledging during my show! Once the marathon is over, they are GONE!!!

There are also a ton of prizes and whatnot that you get for different pledge levels. There are also prize levels at $150, $365, $500 and $1000, and the station takes care of you big-time with a TON of awesome prizes and shirts and CDs that you can't get anywhere else for those respective levels. AND ITS TAX DEDUCTABLE! You can check them out over at https://www. wfmu. org/marathon/pledge. php

And you don't have to pay the pledge when you make it - the station will send you a bill in the mail. So if you want to pledge but don't have the money in your hand tonight, don't sweat it! Just pledge now and pay later! There's more information on all the different pledge levels and prizes and everything over at https://www. wfmu. org/marathon/pledge. php.

I'm counting on you!

That Ike & Tina cut is one of my favorite 45s. Hot stuff.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

In case anyone else wants to use it between now and Sunday:

"Most radio hosts wither like the leaves in autumn, but [INSERT DJ NAME] is an evergreen, bringing it every [INSERT DAY OF PROGRAM] and draining the competition."

Optional: Add show abbreviation (e.g., TBSOWFMU/CBC, etc.) followed by "4 Life."

I wanted that one, too.  (John in Boulder).

Big Dipper is going to be available on the Amazon MP3 store pretty soon.

Laurie,

It's a big ocean : )

I'll lend it you though!

Actually, I'm gonna be playing shows over in that America in May/June so...I'll be there first : )
Hope it coincides with a meet-up!

Luckily for those who didn't win it, the Big Dipper set is not very expensive ($15 on the Merge website). The copy won for pledging to CBC will probably sound better, though.  ;D
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Holy moley - TL took my pledge! I feel special today.

Maybe I should've told him it was me who accused him of farting on a cat. Always a good ice-breaker!
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

Yes, they have food. They serve British-y things. I don't know what Scotch eggs are nor do I care to find out because eggs are disgusting, and I don't know what goes in a Shepherd's pie, and I have had their Indian curry which does not taste very Indian to someone who is not from ACROSS THE POND.

Sarah, you can take a red pen and write all over your screen on this post.
