Now and Then - Valentine's Day 2026 with Robert Tellefsen, LIVE

Original air date January 10, 2026 | Time 59:00

Paul McCartney always touches my heart and before we listen to a live performance by Robert Tellefsen, we listen to two songs from Paul.

The history of Valentine's Day is unexpected, a Roman priest from 269 AD and twists and turns. Robert Tellefesen has lived a life centered around his music and performance, going back to Greenwich Village in the 60s and 70s when he walked Washington Square Park at Bob Dylan's side and learned his first three guitar chords from Jimi Hendrix. Robert's renditions of Dylan's songs are iconic as he weaves a beautiful spell for his audience. Listen in to our conversation. Our friend TC joins him on percussion.

Now and Then - Dedicated to Mark Shulgasser

Original air date Nov 22, 2025 | Time 59:00

Mark Shulgasser passed away on Wednesday Nov 19, 2026 at his home in Jeffersonville, NY. He was a long time broadcaster on WJFF Radio Catskill among other things. He was a prominent operatic librettist for the American composer Lee Hoiby, his partner of many years. Mark was a one-of-a kind astrologer and prepared charts for many of the musicians he admired. His radio program "Music of the Spheres" combined his love of both music and astrology.

Recently Mark had been very active, opening a book store in Jeffersonville in 2024 named The Book Mark. During his life he had at least four book stores that I know of and his collection of books is extensive. There are thousands of volumes he left behind at his house. He also had a fascinating collection of porcelain, some going back to the 17th century. He had a beautiful sculpture of Lee Hoiby in his dining room along with one of Schubert. His home was always inviting and he had many dinners, birthdays and celebrations around the large marble table in the center of the room. There was always a seasonal bouquet on the table, most recently red snowberry branches.

Later this month I will produce a special program using clips from his program Music of the Spheres.

Mark will be missed by many.
