Terry Williams from March 2008.

Sixth District GOP congressional primary: Upton vs. Hoogendyk Posted: 2010-07-27 15:16:48 Republican members of Congress in southwest Michigan seldom face primary challengers. But long-time Sixth District Representative Fred Upton does. Next week, voters in the district that includes Kalamazoo will decide whether Upton or challenger Jack Hoogendyk will advance to the general election this fall. As WMUK's Andy Robins reports, the primary campaign has revolved around the challenger's question: which candidate is the "true" conservative. Music Widget First Listen: Los Lobos Posted: 2010-07-27 14:03:47 Currently in WMUK's music widget is Los Lobos' upcoming album Tin Can Trust. WMUK and NPR Music are proud to bring you an exclusive first listen to this album through the week before its release on August 3. Just click on the "First Listen" button on the right hand side of our homepage (www.wmuk.org) to start the album stream. Los Lobos' latest album speaks to the experience of growing up American with Mexican roots. Inspired by the blues, rock 'n' roll and the American Southwest, David Hidalgo and Louie Perez are an adventurous songwriting team. Los Lobos' ability to fuse styles and translate vivid stories on Tin Can Trust can only come from playing for more than 30 years together. This Week on From the Top Posted: 2010-07-27 14:25:58 Tune in to WMUK each Thursday at 8 p.m. and Fridays at 3 p.m. for From the Top. This popular classical music program is hosted by acclaimed pianist Christopher O'Riley and reveals the heart and soul behind extraordinary young musicians through musical performances, interviews, sketches and games. This week, from Dinkelspiel Auditorium on the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, a 13-year-old violinist performs a flashy Carmen Fantasy by Franz Waxman and takes a quiz given by a special guest - the great New York Times puzzle master Will Shortz, and a fantastic 16-year-old pianist plays Prokofiev. Also, we'll reconnect with a double bassist who was first on our show seven years ago, and hear the incredible story of how he met his future wife. Classical Music with Cara Lieurance on Twitter!
