- 4- Sandi James is on Center Stage

"Is Sandi James here?" That's a question we hear more and more when we meet you at GLT's central Illinois events. Sandi is a non-traditional graduate student, getting a degree in Mass Communication with a Public Relations emphasis. She's a wife, a mother, and one of our most popular jazz and blues hosts, joining the GLT staff in 2001. You're also hearing her as host of our Broadway and movie music show, Center Stage, Wednesday evenings at 7:00 pm. She recently spoke with GLT Program Director Mike McCurdy. Mike McCurdy: What's your favorite part of hosting shows on GLT? Sandi James: I'd have to say it's a split between listening to the music and talking with listeners. I love it when they call and say, "I never knew that." They're glad they learned something about the music or a musician. I love all of the music we play. When I started, I thought jazz would be my favorite, but I like all of it - Sandi James in the GLT music library pulling her favorite show tunes for the next Center Stage. blues might be my favorite now. MM: You stepped into hosting blues after you were already hosting jazz for us. SJ: I knew very little about the blues. I love the blues so much now. I can walk MM: What do you like most about hosting Center Stage? into a store or something and hear a blues tune and I know right away what it is, SJ: Talking with listeners and telling the stories ... and I'm not talking about the who it is, and a little history about it.

I also like featuring MM: And now you're learning more about the music of Broadway and specific actors. We did a show recently focusing on the Broadway career ofJack Hollywood as host of Center Stage. But you already knew a little something Gilford. He's a great character actor who appeared in No, No Nanette, Cabaret, about this music, right? A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Once Upon a Mattress. You'd recognize his face, but he almost never had a lead role. He seemed to always SJ: I have a little background from high school drama club and being in some plays. be cast as a supporting actor. I've always enjoyed watching stage plays and old movie musicals. My dad had the largest stereo system of any family I knew. He had this giant console hi-fi. My mom I also like keeping listeners up-to-date on local theatre. Everyone wants to know was constantly telling him, ''Turn it down!" I heard the music of Okahoma! and what the high schools are putting on and what's going on in our community theaters. Carousel and all kinds of great show tunes. At the time I knew the shows, but I MM: What do listeners tell you? never really realized you could enjoy the songs when you weren't watching the show until my dad played the music at home. SJ: They call and say things like, "I was in West Side Story." Sometimes they were just part of the crew. But once you were in a show and you hear this music night MM: A lot of this music is familiar because you heard the jazz versions of these after night and you rehearse it, it never leaves you. I think it brings back good classic tunes that make up the Great American Songbook. memories for a lot of people ... and everyone else is probably singing along, as well, SJ: Right.

The series co-hosts have traditionally served as talent scouts and editorial board for Poetry Radio™, soliciting new performers and preparing readers But more than that, Todd created a great friendship with each of us on staff for their recording sessions. His smile and quick laugh were always a part of any photo shoot. He quietly went about his business, capturing the essence of everything he shot, never Professor emeritus Bill Morgan continues as co-host, as he has since the inception in the spotlight himself of the program.
