    My father (God rest, 6 mos ago) use to listen to your station way back when & my brother just recently brought to my attention he listens to you in support to as well as in remembrance of my father. One of my fathers favorites was Andreas Vollenweider. Thank you for playing as well as listening to me go on. Happy Father’s Day to all the father’s/Dad’s out there.

    At around 5pm April 1, Davis Gloff played a song sung by a basso profundo, but he did not know who the singer was. Sounded very much like the singer from the Grinch classic cartoon song, “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.” According to Wikipedia, that was sung by a gentleman named Thurl Ravenscroft, who was not credited for his performance. He was also the (uncredited) voice in the Tony the Tiger Kellogg’s cornflake commercials for 50 years (“There grrrreat!”). Just giving credit where credit is due!

    I just wanted to say that I so appreciate your featuring more Ukrainian composers and performers lately, precisely because your programming does feature a lot of Russian composers and performers, typically. It’s good for listeners to have a deeper understanding of music culture in that part of the world, and how complicated it can be due to politics. Balance and cultural sensitivity are vital attributes for an arts institution to have at this time, and I respect your station for making a good faith attempt to promote them. P.S. Switching to playing a different Bank of Ann Arbor ad spot than the jarring “War and Peace” one–I know there are others–would help a lot, too. Thank you!

    As always, love keeping WRCJ on all day as I work from home.
    On Monday morning 2/14 sometime before 9:00am the not-Dave announcer described a story where a soloist joined the symphony, but had prepared the wrong piece. As soon as the orchestra started, the soloist realized their mistake, and played the correct piece… with no practice! I am not entirely sure I heard the story correctly, and for sure, I didnt get the name of the Soloist. Can you elaborate?

      Hi Chris, that might have been Maria João Pires who had rehearsed one Mozart concerto but as the performance began she quickly realized the orchestra was playing a different one. Thankfully she was able to do the correct one from memory.

It is also the title of the recording on Milestone Records. Thankfully, it remains in print. Isn’t the combination of Hubert Laws’ flute and Ron Carter’s bass just perfect with the orchestra and McCoy Tyner’s piano? Again – thanks for listening.

    It was a light somewhat pizzicato-ish orchestral piece that reminded me a little bit of either Philip Glass or Michael Nyman (guessing wildly, i admit!)

    Thanks and super wonderful holiday wishes to all of you at the station.

    I can’t hear any music this morning with the WRCJ Window Media Player. I briefly heard some music with the Listen Live on the WRCJ web site, then could not hear any music, but can hear Dr. Dave when he speaks. Was not able to hear this morning’s Sousalarm…

    Oh, My goodness, Please pass this on to Peter Whorf and David Wagner. Numberphile is a YouTube channel that is dedicated to interesting math and numbers. Brady Haran, the producer recently made a video about the mathematical constructs that JS Bach used. Phenomenal! Don’t be put off by the title “Music on a Clear Möbius Strip” which makes the concept sound impossible to comprehend. Brady interviews a mathematician Marcus Du Sautoy, who breaks down Bach’s music in a very straightforward way, but is VERY revealing of Bach’s genius. Search the title on YouTube or go directly to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sToqbqP0tFk.

        Hi Helen, actually the song was called “Hard Times” and it is from the album called “Fathead: Ray Charles Presents David “Fathead” Newman”. I always post a playlist for the “Swing Set” on this website, but we don’t really have a spot for playlist questions when we’re in fundraiser mode. But, if you want more information, you can always email me direct at lyohn@dptv.org. Thanks so much for listening and for loving jazz on WRCJ.

    Hello! I started listening to WRCJ when I started working remotely from home – it fit the bill perfectly. While a newbie to classical music (despite my father’s efforts), I have come to enjoy it quite a bit. So much so that I’m disappointed if I miss the Souza alarm in the mornings! Thanks for the great music. (And Hello Worker B – just so you know you’re appreciated too!)

    Hello,
    I just made a donation & wanted to write a comment about how much this station has meant to me & my family during the pandemic. My father & I would listen to the same amazing music together while he was in lock-up during the beginning of the pandemic. I loved being able to call him, have him turn his Alexa to WRCJ & we would share the Gershwin, Copland, Bach, the Sunday Swing set, Wind & Rhythm, Michigan made music and so much more. One time in the car, we even heard some of Ken Burn’s Civil war sound track together. It is now harder to listen to it without a few tears. but it has been a saving Grace & built lasting memories for me. Many, many thanks!

    I know that day or night, the Classical Days and Jazzy nights are turned on at my mom’s house, upstairs and downstairs. She often has it playing quietly overnight, the radio light glowing on the nightstand while she sleeps.
