Six Sunday morning gems:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Trouble, Heartaches & Sadness-Ann Peebles (A forthright way of saying, "Bad times, be gone!")
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Europa-Gato Barbieri (Great wailing saxophone, suitable for a slow dance or bluesy rumination. I always enjoyed playing this version of Santana's tune on KNJZ.)
- Affirmation-George Benson (Another KNJZ favorite: This is a life-affirming, uptempo guitar piece whose melody reminds me of the Lou Rawls tune, "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.")
KCLC 89.1 FM
- One Place-Everything But The Girl (Tracey Thorn sings thoughtful musings about what it might be like to settle down in one locale instead of living a touring musician's city-to-city life. Since 1992, this has been one of my favorite songs.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Flor D'Luna (Moonflower)-Santana (Another one of Santana's most appealing guitar melodies and yet another tune that was fun to play on KNJZ; this is the ideal midpoint between a rock instrumental and dance number.)
- Like China-Phil Collins (A somewhat overlooked track that I only hear once in a great while on the radio; rhythmically, it sounds like an appealing precursor to one of the best Genesis tunes, "Home By The Sea.")
