Good evening engineer dept. the correction made prior which is much appreciated to provide a strong WRCJ 90.9 pure FM signal out here in Howell, Mi. was superb until tonight the signal is all over the place in & out with static fusion & numerous stations overstepping what is usually a strong signal 😳 help if you can ?

I’m ready for some of that sultry & sassy souped up Jazz provided by the one & only Mr. John Penny at the Fest in Detroit! 🎶

WRCJ ALWAYS KEEPS ME CONNECTED TO MY BELOVED CITY AND WHAT A SUCH GREAT CITY INDEED YOU ARE DETROIT 90.9 TIMES!

I need all the BOOST I can get being situated on the fringe of your FM SIGNAL and I so appreciate when those board levels are increased atmospheric conditions always toy with me receiving FM SIGNAL reception my board levels will be maxed out in support of the KICK A WRCJ!

The “D” absolutely rules and so does WRCJ hey I was born in Detroit at Holy Cross Hospital in 1959 but I now reside in Howell, Michigan and thanks so much for 90.9 keeping me a part of an attached to the soul essentials of our great city of Detroit and always realizing and recognizing my fellow Michigan music lovers!

Great Job engineer Scott reuniting John with the long lost cd a little spring cleaning brings a little blue skies very cool 😎 👌

Perhaps an autographed microphone 🎙🎶 John might be up your jazz alley to pass on to a lucky listener?

Good Saturday evening to you tonight John I am really enjoying your show it is really digging down deep into my senses of my soul New Orleans style!

As always dig the fusion Jazz especially going back to 1959 & that era why do I say that because 59′ was the year I was hatched but I will leave the popsicle toes to you John and yours only not my bag but keeping it realistic is the Penny twist!

What songs have you played from 9-9:15pm I’m trying to find one that was absolutely beautiful. It was mostly saxophone and there was some vocals and piano

What was the song with the food in the last 1.5 hours … I’m pretty sure I watched a Flinstones show where Fred turned super cool jazz hipster and sang that song! In the late sixties or early seventies.

What was they song called that was playing at 9:00

Jazzfest Detroit is sounding great tonight!

What was the title of that last piece with flute following the Mingus piece? Performed by Ron Carter?

When Bear Mc Cleary used the tune of Skye Boats to create the theme song for the series Outlander did he have to ask for permission from any one to do this. I know of two instances where the recording artists were sued for using songs based on native folk songs

I would like to know the songs you played on March 18, 2023 from 8PM to 8:30PM, please. It was a great program!

Thank you!

What was that amazing, energrtic, swingin song you played at 8:30 just before the Q Jones?
