good day! Hi , Mr. Whorf
I’ve been listening to the music since 10:30 this morning and I loved the music played around 10:48 to 11:15 and I read here under on the play list, the name as “various, suite of dances, arranged for brass quintet, summit 181”, but I’m trying to find it in another source and doesn’t go with the piece that I heard that had a soprano, or kind of that voice,when I heard it, can you please give me more info about this?
Hello Norma, sorry about that. Here is the link to that album: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/Playlist?source=WRCJ&date=201910011048
Hello
I just heard a piece that was played about 5:53 Am this morning Oct-1 2019. The Guest explained he had heard this performer in LA live and that it was amazing how rich of a sound could come from a 4 stringed box. It was a violin and piano piece. It was so beautiful and I could not catch the name as I was rushing into work
Hello Chris, that was from the program about violinist Arnold Steinhardt which you can see more about here:

It looks like the Exploring Music playlist is down at the moment though.
Thank you so much. I listen to your station every morning during my 1 hour commute and occasionally in the evenings when I want to relax
Oh, we appreciate that!
Hello, I’m looking for a song title. It was a calming jazz piece that mostly consisted of 8 notes on the piano. It was played on 9/9/2019 at around 9:15 p.m. I would greatly appreciate help.
Hello Shane, did it also have singing in it? Then it was probably “You’re Mine, You” by Betty Carter from her album “It’s Not About The Melody”.
I would like to withdraw my last request.
I found another source, thank you for your patience.

I was listening from 1:10-1:30 AM this past Sunday morning (June 30) when I heard a very unique, somewhat long and totally awesome jazz tune. An organ similar to Chas Earlands was a major instrument and the set started with Earth Wind & Fire’s Awakenings before launching into this great musical memory. Plz help me with the name of it. I don’t mind donating to you. It was so very special.
Hello Byron, sure, here are the songs from about that time:

Worker B, when did Jim Dancer retire from the station? I love that Jack G. has the job now but I did enjoy Jim’s music mixes.
Hi Jan, Jack Goggin took over around September 2018. We are glad you enjoyed Jim’s selections and hopefully now Jack’s too. Thanks for listening!
Dear WorkerB, Forgive me for asking but are you employed in a bee hive?
Don O
Sure, you could call it that. Busy, busy, busy!
For me Lang Lang’s ‘Ave Maria’ took something old and familiar and rendered it new and fresh.
One of the reasons I love WRCJ is I hear music unexpected performed in unexpected ways.
Thank you again.
Donald O’Neil
You are welcome Donald!
I am grateful your ‘new’ midday programming is still offering rich diversity.
I’m happy my all day listening doesn’t sound like a series of movements from the Same symphony.

Thanks Donald! We are fortunate to have a lot of material to work with.
Question:
I am searching for the title name of the beautiful classical violin music played in the afternoon hours. My wife missed the introduction as well as the closing comments. She thinks the music was of Andalusian origin as she thinks she heard it referenced.
Could you please tell me how to access your play for Thursday afternoon 3-14-2019 (if that is possible). or tell me by return email.
Your assistance with this request will be greatly appreciated.
Hello Allen, it sounds like Fritz Kreisler’s transcription of “Danse espagnole No. 5 by Enrique Granados.
It was for violin and piano. That was an EMI disc, spine number: 556626. Here is that day’s playlist if you want to look it over: https://www.wrcjfm.org/events/playlist-314/
