TRIBUTE TO PAUL CIMINERO: RIP
Paul Ciminero grew up in Niles, OH, graduated from Kent State University (where he also contributed as a DJ on WKSU’s late night Fresh Air program in the late 1970's), retired from Merryvale Vineyards, and enjoyed his retirement re-visiting his radio roots and love of music via his weekly unconventional free-form music podcast “Transmusic Airwaves” where he loved the challenge of assembling music from many different genres into a cohesive flow and musical journey.
Assembled from various Transmusic Airwaves shows, this tribute to Paul includes a few surprises in honor of his personality, charm, sense of humor, and quirkiness. The opening and closing sets are largely unedited. Everything between was stitched together for this tribute.
Transmusic Airwaves is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get…
Until we meet again… Thank you Paul
Looking ahead... No one can replace Paul...he was one of a kind! But his sensibility to the variety and flow of the music is in all of us here at Transmusic. We have rebranded it a "Collaborative" hoping to attract other like-minded programmers to continue the Transmusic legacy which Paul started. It is with this in mind, we offer first, a few tribute programs to Paul.

Sincerely, The Transmusic Collaborative
