    This morning I was listening on my Google mini in the bedroom and heard it was Vivaldi’s birthday! Then I heard his Gloria which is my most favorite piece in all the world. My cleaning immediately ceased and I sat the listened! Thank you so much. Pixie Hedlund

      Thanks, sounds like your Google mini makes it easy to listen to the station. Sorry to interrupt your cleaning! Its nice that of all Vivaldi’s pieces, you got to hear your favorite.

    My husband and I both enjoy the programming on your radio station. Consequently, we’d like to help you out by pointing out that Lincoln’s birthday is February 12th and Washington’s birthday is February 22nd. Presidents’ Day celebrates both, and this year happens to fall on February 15th.

    Nice to hear organ music both yesterday and today, keep it coming!
    Even after more than fifty years in Canada I miss the accessibility available in The Netherlands 🇳🇱.
    Once the border is open again I hope there will be concerts/recitals I can come across for.

    Just a heads-up for your news announcers. Even though it’s spelled Eli, the first name of the new Washtenaw County prosecutor is pronounced “Elly,” i.e. the vowels are short rather than long. I didn’t know this myself until I heard someone say his name during the campaign and thought *they* had made a mistake. I now sit corrected.

    I listen to Exploring Music with Bill McLaughlin at 5AM as often as possible. I find it annoying when the WRCJ “commercials” play over Bill’s words between songs. His talks are an important part of the show and I miss some of them because of the interruptions. Is it possible to eliminate these announcements before 6AM?

        Thanks! It seemed much better today. I only recall hearing one WRCJ announcement and it seemed to be properly coordinated with the show.

          Oh excellent! Bill does leave areas in his show for us to put in spots, although if they start too abruptly it might sound like they’re cutting in.

    This is a note for Cecilia Sharpe.

    I love the name you have given your program—am listening right now and hope you will continue on the station.
    As for theme music I fell in love with Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C# minor when I learned to play it at 12. I’m sure it is an obvious choice but I still vote for it. Best wishes to you!

    Which wonderful piece did you play today at 2:50 pm just after Kleiber’s Beethoven 7th? It had a wonderful bassoon bass line and is not listed on the playlist.

      Oh no the host added in a piece and didn’t right down which one it was… sorry Kyle, it’s harder to check into such things when we’re working remotely.

    John Penney’s Jazzfest Detroit sounded especially nice Saturday evening. I liked the extra emphasis on vibraphone and guitar music. It’s always nice to hear Milt Jackson play the Vibes!

    Thank you for making the Mike/Peter Wolf  Christmas Special available on radio and then on your site. A wonderful discussion of Handel, the Oratorio  itself and of course the nostalgia factor.Leave it up for a while for repeated enjoyment. Thank you.

    Thanks for the Mike Whorf Kaleidoscope today – it was the perfect Christmas eve music. I love the Messiah and just listening to Mike Whorf’s history of Handel and the music was a wonderful gift. I even loved the Faygo commercial – which probably will stay in my head all day!

    Thanks so much for featuring the Kaleidoscope Christmas special of Handel’s Messiah on 12/20. Always enjoyed listening to Mike Whorf back then! It was even fun listening to the old commercials (except the Fayo one will be in my head the rest of the day😉). Hope you consider having this and other programs available in archives on demand?
    Best wishes on your future endeavors!

    To News person

    I finally figured out how to pronounce Sherry Gay-Dagnogo’s name. It’s Italian, so the “gn” is like the “gn” in lasagna so it would be “Dan-yo-go” which is how she pronounces it, I think.
