Donnie McKethan passed away on June 19, 2023. His Sunday afternoon radio show on WPFW, The American Songbook was beloved in the DMV for over 20 years. With the advent of the Internet, he had listeners all around the world. Donnie got a lot of us through the pandemic with his musical programming and his knowledge of the canon was encyclopedic. And … he loved hot and humid weather, so it’s appropriate that he was from Washington DC. WPFW will be honoring him with a special musical tribute all day on Tuesday July 4. RIP.
