Mischievous Nixnutz sparks Pennsylvanian Dutch program
Dr Buffington uses a wire recorder to preserve Dutch folk tunes sung by elderly locals in the Pennsylvania Dutch Valley. Since 1845 his WHKOK Sunbury radio program features the persona Der Nixnutz, delivering an all Dutch broadcast in a mix of English and Pennsylvania Dutch with letters praising his work.
