Dave the snake charmer with that last composition!

Mark Anthony

I certainly enjoy The Morning Show with Mr. Dave Wagner a very lively, interesting & whimsical wit of humor thrown in with daily history not to mention the surprising compositions & renditions of music plus where else does one get awoken by a Sous alarm clock ⏰️ 📢 🎶 every morning! 🐓

Mark Anthony

Extremely beautiful and soothing ✨️ harmony of Caledonia!

Mark Anthony

June 11, 202511:42:43

Extremely unique rendition of the 1968 Hello I Love You by Jim Morrison & the Doors first time I heard it performed by the Prague Symphony Orchestra I certainly enjoyed it eerily so in its ghostly form of splendor. Definitely keep this no. in the on deck circle for more airplay going forth it would be much appreciated by me indeed. Wagner’s way out there hidden compositions are a real gem indeed 💎 ✨️ only to be found on WRCJ 90.9 DETROIT, MICHIGAN! 🎶 😀

Dear, engineering dept. FM signal bearly existent here in Howell, Mi. Washing in & out numerous other stations are stepping on WRCJ’S signal frequency here. It is possible the smoke here from Canadian wildfires 🔥 might be a factor?

Hello Lynda, welcome! It’s so nice we could help bring back those wonderful memories. More great music on the way! If you listen on the app you can rewind about 5 minutes but unfortunately you can’t replay shows. Copyright issues with archiving music on the web and such.

Do you have a playlist for June 10 morning show? Bach tune with Empire Brass around 7:20am was fabulous and would love to know what it is please.

Hi Amy, about that time we played the Chorale “Wachet auf, ruft uns die stimme…” from Cantata No. 140 (arranged for brass and organ) by J.S. Bach performed by the Empire Brass with Douglas Major on organ. It was from an EMI disc, spine number 31544.

Good morning – you played a sweet version of Love is All Around on May 24th around 830am. The playlist isn’t updated and I’m not having any luck finding a reference to the CD it’s on. Would you please post that info? Thank you!!! Also the Sousalarm this morning was my mom’s favorite and always brings me a smile to think of her marching around to The Stars and Stripes Forever! 🥰

Hello Nancy, that was the theme from “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” AKA “Love is All Around” (in the style of Erik Satie, arranged by Donald Fraser) written by Sonny Curtis and performed by JoAnn Turovsky on harp and Ramiro Belgardt on cello. It’s from an album called “Mozart TV–Favorite TV Tunes in the Style of Great Classical Composers” on the Delos label, spine number 3222.

Wonderful selections. Took a day off to enjoy music and peace, with excellent results. Question: was it typical that composers could play their works? Thinking of challenging piano works in particular.

Hi James, thank you. Yes there are some compositions that even their composers could not perform. Or pieces that were considered unplayable by anyone (until someone did).

Hi Dave! Looked up the portrait of Johann Christian Bach by Gainsborough you mentioned this morning.

You definitely nailed the Deniro comparison and the “you talkin’ to ME?” look that’s present! But I disagree a little bit; I think he does have the barest hint of a smile 🙂 Thanks for the culture share this morning!

Hi Geoff, sorry about that, we are in the process of replacing the music database computer in the main studio which may have caused problems with the title display. We are working on it right now.
