The Golden Voices, winner of the national Crystal Award of Excellence, has aired twice on KUAT-FM, and during the fall of 1999, was distributed nationwide. Stations from locales as varied as New Jersey, Puerto Rico and Montana aired the programs. The Mary and Igor Gorin Family Trust Fund in the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, which provided funding for the first series, has funded a second series of The Golden Voices scheduled to be produced and narrated by Pitts during 2000-2001. Pitts says that what he likes best about KUAT is his job, the people he works with and reveling in the only music that has any lasting value. People often call asking about selections that I ve played, or with a request for something they d like to hear.
Music is an emotional bond that bridges other differences.
