Tabor College Learning In Retirement Program

Radio Kansas Morning Edition Producer and Tabor College alum, Jay Huber, will perform “Dust Bowl” songs by American folk hero and songwriter Woody Guthrie at the next Learning in Retirement Program, beginning at 9:45 a.m. Monday, Oct. 5, at the Wohlgemuth Music Education Center.

Huber, a 1975 graduate of the college, will play acoustic guitar and sing, “This Land is Your Land” and other classic Guthrie songs that struck a chord with the dispossessed and downtrodden in the 1940s.

For the past 22 years, Huber has been the Producer of Morning Edition, providing weather forecasts and local information during the broadcast from National Public Radio, heard from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, on Radio Kansas, at 90.1 on the FM dial. He also serves as Arts coordinator at the station, maintaining a “Arts Calendar” of all music events in the listening area and interviewing participants in those events for broadcast on the show.

A gifted musician who also plays trumpet, piano, and drums, Huber taught instrumental and vocal music in area schools before going into radio. He enjoys performing at weddings and in concert at arts events and coffeehouses in the area.

The public is welcome to attend all Learning in Retirement programs. Fees are $3 per session or $15 per semester ($28 per couple). Registration and discount cards for lunch in the cafeteria will be available at the door during the half hour before the meeting.
