Eclectic Hours is a weekly radio program hosted by Paul Porzio, every Sunday morning since 1995, featuring a wide musical bandwidth of Contemporary Folk & Singer-songwriters and long-standing Folk and Rock artists. (Yeah, it's a "Hybrid" show. Guess I'm just not a purist. I just see music as a spectrum, and heck, I grew up in the 60's/70's when you could here everything on free-format FM! The word "Eclectic" gives me a wide leeway for behavior!)
