Tuesday 8-9pm

Parents and their young children are invited to tune in and call in to the one year anniversary show of Sleepytime with Grandpa D, children’s story and music hour which is hosted by me,Dick DeAngelis, and my son Mickey. Sleepytime with Grandpa D is designed to put young Fairfield listeners to sleep and help all the “young at heart” to chill out. read more »

Already a favorite with Fairfield listeners, Mickey will join me in reading selections from some of the best of the first year's bedtime stories. One of the highlights will be a reading of the Big Galoot, a wonderful story by celebrity Shadoe Stevens. The show usually finishes with a half hour of sweet music and this week we will have some of the best of the year. We are so happy that Sleepytime has become somewhat of a KRUU-FM classic in just one year! We want to thank our listeners for tuning in every week from all over the country and even some from other countries. See you tonight. - Grandpa (and Mickey) D.

Tonight from 8pm - 9pm, Sleepytime with Grandpa D will fill your hearts and young at heart.

We will read “A Great Time: Children’s Poems in English and Russion”, which is scheduled for publication October 2007. It is a collection of short children stories written by Masha Shurin and illustrated by Valentin Ginukov. The author will join us on the phone and read a few stories in Russian and we will read them in English. Join Yucky the bug, No-tail the elephant, a sailor frog and other characters for A Great Time. The fun-filled poems encourage courtesy, sharing, and friendship while upholding hope and joy.

Then, to top off our second half hour, we will present a special song which Rachel Ries recorded exclusively for Sleepytime. Let's see if you can guess which Fats Waller song she sang for us. Tonight at 8pm. read more »

What a fun show tonight. We interviewed Joan Buzick and played her audiobook What Went Right Today, available at www.wwrt.org. Wow! What fun to keep your attention on what went right - it cultivates an attitude of thankfulness. Cool. Thanks Joan.

Then we got to read the delightful book by Marc Freeman's mom, Lillian, called Why Willie Wouldn't. What a delightful book wonderfully illustrated by Elaine Arnold.

Then after a half hour of delightful music (Marley, Simon, McCartney, Methany,Rachel Ries and Sam Beam), the show was completed by Paul Fauerso singing Master of My Heart. Mickey and I feel so lucky to be able to bring you this show each Tuesday night at 8pm. read more »
