R.I.P., DJ Barb Wire

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of a long time friend and fellow WLUW DJ, Barb Wire.

Barb was perhaps best known for her ecclectic but impeccable taste in music, as demonstrated on numerous graveyard shifts and on her own weekly show, "Across the Pond and Beyond." I'll remember her as a generous and caring individual, always willing to lend a hand or cover a shift. Sometimes, totally unbidden, she'd burn you a CD of music she thought you might like. She was fiercely dedicated to the the music and the message of the station throughout the course of her long illness, and right up until the very end.

The airwaves will be poorer for your absence, Barb. You will be missed.
