This is something. Dont know if anyone will ever see this. But i thought back on the name Jack Goggin and was happy to see he’s still around.
Years ago(1979-80??) My Dad loved listen to classical music. Theme music, orchestrated stuff. He new i loved “the Great Escape”(1963) and i was only like 15 in 1980. The music was Equal to the Great actors & script.
Jack had a movie theme show back and i want to say it was WQRS???
Anyway, we recorded it on cassette. I no longer have it but i listened to it a lot. Hed also done a war movie themes show i think the week before.
Times were simpler then.
I cherish that memory with my Dad, he being a WW2 vet.
We loved war movies.
Of course, now at 56 i realize War is not so glorious at it seemed as kid.
But my memory remains.
In honor of Memorial Day,
Thank you to those who served but never came home and thank you Jack for the music.
Hi Michael, yes Jack also did a film show on WQRS, glad you enjoy the program. That’s a nice memory you have of your dad. We are grateful for his service. Yes, simpler times…
Thank you,
Worker b.

A gold star! For me? 😮
Backing you one-hundred percent on not doing an Oscar show tonight.
What they’re doing is a shame.
I haven’t cared about the Oscars for years anyway.
Thank you again for the music from Walt Disney’s “Fantasia” this Sunday, 27 February 2022. My mother, the late Jane L. Rogan, former professor of the history of pharamacy at Wayne State University, had a TV show on WTVS in the 1950s entitled “Pharmacy Fax,” in which she would present lore and information on what household medications and first air supplies to keep on hand, among other aspects of pharmacy. The theme song she chose for the program was Paul Dukas’s “The Sorceror’s Apprentice.” Many years later, helping her convert the surviving kinescopes to videotape, she admitted she had never seen “Fantasia” and did not know her theme had a wider audience from sixteen years before. It was my great pleasure to show her “Fantasia 2000,” which includes “The Sorceror’s Apprentice.” She was bemused by the sequence. And she said that she knew that sometime before the 1940s Mickey Mouse’s appearance on film had been altered to today’s ‘modern’ design, but she hadn’t known that it was in this sequence.
I felt the tale worth telling to show how one’s musical education advances even years after the fact. It may not be the same as discovering a lost and unheard fugue by Bach, but discovery is still there, and the music is new again once more. Thank you for reminding me of that long-ago discovery my mother made.
Hi Pete, thank you for sharing the story. It’s nice to know you enjoyed the program tonight and it brought back some good memories. Thank you for tuning in.
Hello, I love listening to the Film Classics show, but I’m not always able to tune in. Is there a podcast?
Hi Sylvia, sorry no podcast, we can’t save the shows online because they have copyrighted music in them but if it helps you can listen on the go with our free WRCJ phone app. It’s free in the Apple or Google Play stores. Just search “WRCJ”.
We loved the Irish symphonic piece played at the Billy Joel concert last Friday morning. Jack Goggin played it on Sunday. I would like to know the name of that piece and how I could get a CD to play at home. It was a beautiful piece.
Thank you!!! I have donated to WRC-J for over 10 years now.
Hi Karen, we appreciate the support! The program isn’t listed for the DSO’s concert but we did play the O’Carolan Suite in Baroque Style recently, could it be that one?
Composer: Thomas C. Kelly
Conductor: Fionnuala Hunt

A few weeks ago you did a program on lesser known Miklos Rosza. I wish I had thought to write down all the movies as I would like to continue listening to them. I had no idea the music would be so beautiful. Any chance I can get a list of the movies you featured?
Thanks.
Hi Lyriel, we’re glad you enjoyed the program. We’ll check with Jack…
Great show every Sunday. What is the score at the beginning and end of the program?
Thanks Jordan! The theme music for the show is the main title sequence from “Since You Went Away” by Max Steiner, which won Steiner his third Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1944.
Thanks for playing ET tonight. I forgot how beautiful it is.
Suddenly I’m back in college, listening to my LP.
Oh thank you Keith, that’s wonderful to hear. It is definitely a classic.
I’m glad I got to hear the music from films starring Yul Bryner. I actually saw him in a performance of the King and I! It was great to relive the memories! Thanks for broadcasting it!
Wow, that’s very cool. Thanks for listening to the show!
