I listened to the English program from Radio
Slovakia on Friday evening. Mention was made in the news summary that
Slovak government committees would be meeting next week to decide the fate of
the shortwave services of Radio Slovakia International. Pete Miller, the
Friday host, called the proposed shutdown of the shortwave services a
"retrograde" development. He sounded very resigned to this, as if it is a
fait accompli, and no mention was made of getting listener's feedback to try to
stop it. He did say there would be "redundancies"... one wonders whether
he himself is threatened by that.
The program included a feature on a Dobro guitar
festival held in the town where the inventor of the dobro guitar
lived. They interviewed American bluegrass star Sam
Bush.
I didn't realize the dobro came from
Slovakia.
