MANY years ago, on the “old” station, you once played the Jeremy Brett “Sherlock Holmes” brilliant violin tracks by Patrick Gowers. The theme was played at Jeremy Brett’s funeral in London at his passing by Gowers’ daughter. Are those tracks even still around.? Would anyone else be interested in hearing them again?
Remarkable music for “just” a TV show?
Hello Kathy, it appears that cd didn’t make it over to us. We have some of the recordings from WQRS but not everything. But it would be nice to hear again. Maybe they can be found on the internet?
You just played a version of “Willow Weep for Me” (about 7:45 pm on 01/02/2020) that was so beautifully simple. Who’s rendition was that?
Hello Heidi, that was by Nellie McKay from her album “Sister Orchid”. Thanks for listening.
Where can I find out about equipment necessary to listen to your HD station?
Hello Jack, any HD radio should do. We used to have an HD radio as one of our thank you gifts but it was discontinued. Do you generally receive a decent signal? Sometimes if an HD radio can’t pick up a good HD signal it defaults back to analog which would be unfortunate. Radios that are HD compatible display this symbol: https://images.app.goo.gl/4tHXnY7RoCd4LwDW6
OK. I get a fine signal on my dtsuner with a dipole antenna, so I guess I do not need to look any further into HD.
Ok, whatever works for you. Thanks for listening!
Hello. I was hoping to get the name of a jazz song played on Tuesday, the 10th of December 2019. It was one of the first songs after classical music had ended, so within the first 15 minutes. The singer was a woman and its lyrics were about Detroit: “Detroit is doin’ just fine” and “Detroit is goin’ fast.” I am almost certain those are verbatim, but I could be wrong. Shazam and Siri could not identify it and I could not bring up the song on Google when I searched for it either. Please help!
Much Appreciated,
Patrick D.
Hello Patrick, that was Alma Smith doing “Movin’ Along” from her album “Dreamin'”.
