This Wednesday, Sept. 2, marks the tenth birthday of WMOT's Roots Radio all-Americana music format. This is an account of how a team of music fans and broadcasting veterans built something new in a heritage medium. WMOT invites the public to two gatherings on Wednesday to hang out with the staff and hear some live music: 11:30 pm for lunch hour at Brown's Diner at 2102 Blair Blvd. and 4:30 for happy hour at Robert's Western World on Lower Broadway.
