Well - it's happened. We've reached the end of summer, so this will be the last themed show for a while. But it's a good one: "The Night"! Songs about dreamy things, mysterious things, spooky things, lonely things, amazing things, lofty things, lowly things & since we are talking about music here, romantic things. If you are sad to see the themed shows leave, have no fear - next week I have something very special planned; and in October we'll embark on a new, fun way of exploring the Jazz Greats. Meanwhile - we'll celebrate the music of the nocturnal this Tuesday (9/17) from 3-7pm Eastern. Listen online anywhere in the US by clicking here. Bring a sweater and meet me then! - Kendo

Uh-oh... a themed show! This week's show wass brought to us by the letter "S"; that is to say; all the song titles begin with the double curve. I love these shows because songs and albums are chosen that ordinarily might get overlooked, but are worthy of our time; and it steps up the variety factor! It's the last show in the old WFCF studio!! I'm going to miss it, especially the mood lighting, but I'm looking forward to the new equipment, furniture, lobby et al and the overall sense of adventure. Thanks for tuning in/stopping by! - Kendo
