About Mike:
For the past two years, volunteer music librarian Mike Wiebers has delighted summer audiences with Short 'n' Sweet, a program featuring pieces of less than five minutes that fit the week's theme. This year, he wanted to try something a little different. "There are so many interesting things that never get played…I find the nooks and crannies of this place that people have forgotten and try to tie them together." Mike's new show will feature everything from ragtime and swing to Broadway and movie overtures. "Music reflects the society," says Mike. His first show, entitled An American Sampler will have lesser-heard music of the Old West from perspectives beyond just the cowboy songs. Mike calls What I've Found "different, but not strange." He's found a lot of gems and learned a lot since he started volunteering at SPR. He proudly says that "this is a great family with great, crazy people-and I'm becoming one too!" Tune in to the first show and get hooked for this summer treat!
