    Thank for being in a constant in our lives.
    Today you played the Teddy Bear’s Picnic…a part of my childhood. I remembered all the verses and it felt so good to reminisce about dancing around the record player as we wore out the 33rpm.
    We listen to you every morning as we do our exercises. Gotta keep these old bones moving.
    I have been rising to Sousa’s marches and Dave’s comments on WQRS since grade school mornings. Now my daughter, teaching in Tunisia, Africa can stream the music of home, too, while moving through her afternoons.
    May WRCJ and their Transmitter go on for many generations.

      It’s nice to hear you enjoyed that piece. Thank you for playing us during your exercises, maybe we’ll lose some weight too! You’re daughter is quite far away, but it sounds like she is doing good work. We also hope to be around for many more generations, thanks for listening.

    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!
    Amy O’Rourke

    I live in Wisconsin. When I want to feel closer to my mom in the moment I turn on https://www.wrcjfm.org

    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.

    At around 8:30pm there was a song playing that was a jazz version of the song “The little things you do together” by Steven sondheim, and shazam couldn’t seem to pick it up. I was wondering who’s cover is it? Is it a michigan artist? It was really great

    I thought it was yesterday or perhaps Tues. around noon this week that you played a piece featuring Pavarotti. Dan’t seem to find it on playlist unless its a piece that didn’t mention Luciano’s name. It was a sad piece as announcer said after it ended, “Now onto something more cheerfu.
    l” If you remember it could you please give me the name of the album.

    Are there plans to add track metadata to the stream? I don’t use TuneIn so I am unsure if it is on there.

    Having the band name and the track title would be great if I am unable to write down what the host reads off.

        I usually listen to the stream through my music player on my computer or through a radio app on my phone.

        The metadata that shows up is usually, “Non-music: ProgramTitle” where “ProgramTitle” is something like Jazzfest Detroit or Maxology, but never the track or band.

          Oh ok, with JazzFest and Maxology the hosts are playing music off their CDs, not playing from our computer system so the info isn’t there for the display. We have been adding more jazz to our database though so maybe sometime in the future they can use the database and the info will be displayed.

    Hope the new “listen live” web app is going away soon. I miss being able to backup and catch the announcers comments about a piece on the previous version.

    Love the music mix and particularity that it is just not the best hits of Beethoven and Mozart.
