Wow. Stasia Lanier retiring from KSUT. An incredible loss to us, her thousands of listeners, to the world of music and to KSUT. She has worn so many hats there, she could go one-on-one with Dr. Seuss’ Bartholomew Cubbins for his 500 hats.
I can’t count the number of times that her musical choices have made me stop and listen, sometimes cry, often remember back decades to a particular time and place, and of course, to the people who made the memories with me over the incredible range of songs and albums she has chosen – music that enhances or stops time for us all.
She is simply irreplaceable for her San Juan Sunrise and so much more. Stasia deserves more accolades than I am capable of expressing, so Robert Frost will say it for me with flowers: “You, of course, are a rose/but were always a rose.”
