Merl Saunders "Lost & Found" WMBR station ID

That's it for today! Please join me next week for a four-hour Election Day special edition of the Tuesday "Lost & Found" from 12 noon - 4 PM EST! I will be urging you to vote! I feel that it's very important this year! Please don't feel that it doesn't matter whether you vote just because your state traditionally votes for a certain party, or because your candidate is ahead in the polls. The polls have often been wrong! Although I can't verbally campaign for any particular party, candidate or initiative on the air, I will be letting the music do the talking, so read between the lines. Your requests and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks for listening,
Eli Polonsky

The words are from a book called "American Songs of Protest," the tune is by by Archie Fisher. It's worthwhile listening to the four plus decades old lyrics, especially the reference to a black man becoming President, as we wait to see whether frontrunner Barack Obama will be denied his rightful place as our 44th (stranger things have happened). See you after the election!
