My name is GayLynn Thornton I am a mother of two amazing kids and a singer of songs
I first arrived in Vermont as a student in an outward bound high school in 1982. In this school we were encouraged and supported in exposing ourselves and each other to every type of music we could get our ears on.
I remember hitchhiking down mountain road to see every band that came into town, But the local favs back then for us were pinhead, Kilimanjaro and of course Big Joe Burrell and the Unknown blues band. One of our many school field trips was to the Flynn to see BB king where I was lucky enough to get back stage thank him and shake his hand. I loved those years, I loved that school and I love that I was exposed to so much music!
WBKM brings me right back to those days. Pouring it on and opening it up, these guys warm my heart with my old favorites and spark a fresh interest and ear to some incredible new music, weaving and blending together masterfully all the positive vibes. With their strong dedication to not bog the listeners down with radio jargon and their passion for lifting up and connecting the community through music. When I tune in, I feel like I'm home:) Thank you Eric, Tony and the rest of the WBKM family!
