The Guitar Hour: Annual Christmas Show with Guest Paul Grove

It's that time of year, and Leon and Verne know all too well that you want your holiday music fix. They did not disappoint in Leon's Annual Christmas Show this week.  Leon was joined by a guest even, and we were lucky to have guitarist Paul Grove join us in the studio. Paul is on faculty at Gonzaga University and teaches applied guitar.

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
