Rebecca went to Charlottesville public schools: Venable, Buford and Lane. After that she lived in many places, doing many things, including listening to a lot of different community radio stations. When she came back to Charlottesville in 1998, it seemed like a good time to pursue a long-held dream of sharing her love of music on the radio. WTJU turned out to be the perfect place. Nothing But the Blues, Leftover Biscuits, In the Spirit, Blues & the Abstract Root, Walk Right In and the Eclectic Woman have been her main venues for exploring a wide range of musical styles, with a focus on vintage recordings and contemporary takes on roots music. She approaches radio the way she approaches her other favorite activities-- gardening, knitting, cooking and talking to people-- with some strong opinions, plus a willingness to learn something new. She loves to get calls from listeners and will try to play requests.
