SUMMARY:NCPR Beat Authority Live from the ADKX
DESCRIPTION:Kick off the weekend and the season with the North Country Public Radio Beat Authority live at the ADKX! \nJoin us on Friday\, May 31st\, from 3-5pm for a live broadcast of the North Country Public Radio Beat Authority from the ADKX campus! ???? Hosted by David Sommerstein\, get ready for a fresh mix of dance music from all corners of the world! Kick off the weekend and the season here at ADKX! \nDavid Sommerstein\, NCPR’s roving St. Lawrence Valley/Fort Drum/Tug Hill reporter\, began his career in radio\, strangely enough\, as a high school Spanish teacher in Buffalo. While drilling verb conjugations and teaching a love for Latino culture during the day\, he sat in as a late night jazz and Latin DJ at Buffalo’s NPR affiliate\, WBFO. The radio bug bit\, and David found his way to southern Colorado/northern New Mexico (the Taos/Santa Fe area) where he was Program Director\, Music Director\, Volunteer Coordinator\, and “Just About Anything Else You Can Think Of” Director at NPR affiliate KRZA. \nSince joining NCPR’s news department\, David has reported from the chilly deck of a St. Lawrence icebreaker\, the power-chord filled stage of the High School Rock Band Festival\, and the tense Albanian street market of post-war Kosovo with soldiers from Fort Drum. David also gets to fulfill his passion for music of all kinds when he spins world dance and groove music on editions of The Beat Authority.
