I heard something by one of the Carolina composers for banjo and violin could you tell me what that was it was on about three weeks ago
Hi listener, it sounds like you’re describing the medley of tunes by Steven Foster that we played. Those were “Ring , Ring the Banjo” (1851), “Oh, Susanna” (1848) and “Camptown Races” (1850) with Tony Trischka on banjo and Jay Ungar on the violin.
July 7 is Mahler’s birthday. Can you play only Mahler next Thursday?
Hi Nicole, it’s not just Mahler but we did put in a lot of his music. We also celebrate Anton Karas, Gian-Carlo Menotti, Stanislaw Wislocki and Douglas Moore/John Latouche.
Am I crazy or has Carl G. been six minutes late when announcing the time for the past few mornings?
I’d like to hear the theme music to the movie ‘Moment to Moment’
Hi Rosalyn, we’ll have to check and see if that one is in our music library. Or perhaps our film expert Jack Goggin has it in his collection.
4/13 morning seems to have engineering issues: starting the wrong tapes, interchanging the recordings of the esteemed Dr Dave with a different host with gaps / silence and queuing up the wrong music.
…Still the best radio to be heard in Detroit!
Sorry about that Chris, user error. All fixed!
I Really liked hearing the “Niagara Suite – Power of Niagara” today. We so often hear Grofe’s “Grand Canyon Suite”, but this was a very fun piece – great percussion!
Thank you Chris, perhaps next we should play a piece about Old Faithful!
Will you be playing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy tomorrow, March 10, along with other local and world wide radio stations in response to Ukraines defense against the war from Russia?
Hello!
I was delighted to hear Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” today (RCA 62563); it would be lovely to hear it again tomorrow in honour of David Bowie’s birthday! TIA
Hi Deborah, glad you enjoyed that. We scheduled it yesterday to honor David Bowie’s birthday because we wanted it to get it in before the weekend.
Hello! On 12/31/21 there was an oboe concert played in the morning, probably between 9-10AM, and I can’t recall who the composer was. I checked the playlists, but there isn’t anything listed for that day. Wondering if someone might know. Many thanks and happy new year!
Hi Jim, yes that was an Oboe Concerto by Christoph Forster. Here is the rest of the info:
Conductor: Christophe Poiget
Orchestra/Ensemble: La Follia
Soloists: Lajos Lencses – oboe
Hanssler 98217

Just a note that, ” Christmas Carol” was composed by composer and organist, the late Tom Kuras.. It sounded great on the radio.. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.. smooches to all..
No problem Katherine, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!
You played an amazing performance of Vivaldi’s “Winter” from The Four Seasons this morning between 9 and 10 am. What was the performing ensemble?
Hi Katherine, that piece was performed by Gil Shaham on the violin along with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
Thank you so much for playing the Concerto for Harp and Orchestra by Von Dittersdorf at around 11:30 a.m. today (Dec. 13). Your play list doesn’t mention the harpist. Could you tell me who it was? I was so impressed.
Hi Mary Lou, that was Nicanor Zabaleta on the harp. Glad you liked it!
