What was that last beautiful piece on Wind and Rhythm that David Lawrence ended his program with, just before 6:00 pm today, August 16, ’20? I would love to know. Thank you , Luba
Hi Luba, the last piece was “Early Light” by Carolyn Bremer featuring the University of North Texas Wind Symphony and conducted by Eugene Migliaro Corporon. Here is the whole playlist if you need it: http://www.windandrhythm.com/episodes
Just discovered Linda Yohn’s Sunday Swing tonight while flipping stations in the car. Brilliant! Love the music, the information, and the announcing style. Totally my groove. This is the music I grew up on and it is especially comforting to hear it on the air in these troubled times. Thanks for all you do! I will be a regular listener from now on.
That’s great Bob, welcome to the Swing Set Family!
I’m still trying to find the identity of the pianoless tenor/trumpet quartet that
recorded Strayhorn’s “Daydreams”. Although the arrangement has a Mulliganesque
flavor, it won’t surface through the net inquiry and, I’m not aware of Mulligan
recording anything significant on tenor.
I tried Ed Love but, no response. Anyone else you can think of that.might give me
a lead would be appreciated.
Ron
Hi Ron, we had previously asked our jazz hosts about that one but unfortunately they didn’t know what group that might have been.
I’m listening to “Nights in the Gardens of Spain” right now and it might interest many of you to know that a few years back someone did an all-electronic version of this.
It didn’t come out well. Too many ions in de Falla.
We definitely don’t have the electronic version.
Please relay to Cecelia my thanks for playing my Bloch Violin Concerto recording today. Caught me by surprise!
Ok John, we will, thank you for performing it! It was for Bloch’s birthday.
Thanks Dave for reviving my soul with that long “An English Country Ball” by Baltimore Consort.
Been under the weather for awhile so thanks.
Thank you Lawrence. Soul revival is one of our free services! Feel better.
I just recently began listening to WRCJ and I am hooked!
Each host brings something different and amazing.
Also, we get essentially two stations in one. “Classical by day and jazz by night.”
Is it possible to send hosts an individual email?
Thanks for all you do.
Hello Tim, thanks and welcome! Some of our hosts have individual mailboxes. If you visit this page you can click on the hosts names to contact them: https://www.wrcjfm.org/contacts/
Um….. where is Tony Bruscato with traffic? I came to this website explicitly to find more information about Tony and there isn’t a lick of it.
PLEASE. ASSIST.
-Tony’s #1 fans, Matt & Kate
P.S. Dave’s cool too.
Hello Tony fans! Sorry about that. Tony sends us his reports from outside the office so he didn’t make it on to the staff contacts page. We will see about adding him though…
I agree. Tony is the man. Have been a loyal listener for years. Would be nice to put a face with a name. Happy 2020!! Keep up the great job all! Jim C.
Gotta get Judy Adams in Chris Felcyn’s spot. Judy is the right person for the job. Great voice. Great personality. God bless Chris and God rest his soul. God bless WRCJ.
I gave again today, despite my gift during the spring fund raiser campaign, in honor of Chris and to thank Carl for filling in, despite his “retirement”. My first active listening to classical radio music was the early 70’s with Carl, recognizing his voice as the Michigan Band Voice! Then SE MI lost WQRS and Carl! I could only hear him in the stadium as the M band voice and then more recently also as the play by play announcer! So happy to hear his voice every day now as he covers ? temporarily Chris’s hours! Thank you Carl and welcome back to AA and SE MI! My extra gift today was in honor of Chris – dearly miss his musical genius!
Thank you very much Catherine! Hopefully Carl’s stadium time held you over until now and we appreciate the memorial Chris donation. Enjoy the music (and hosts)!
Thank you WRCJ for everything you are and do. This station has inspired me to further pursue my studies in classical and jazz, as well as, pursue a longtime dream of mine to become a broadcast media professional. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication into keeping these great arts alive.
Thanks Ayinde we appreciate that. We wish you luck with your studies and we will do our best to preserve classical and jazz in Detroit.
I love listening to your guest host Ms. Sharpe. She is just wonderful, so informative and kind. I just lost my father and we both enjoyed her programs so much, she always picked us up when we were down.
John
Thank you John. Sorry to hear about your father. We hope the station helps a little.
