Eight Sunday morning highlights:
KDHX 88.1 FM
- Lill Lisa-Kirsten Braten Berg (Credit to this vocalist for her compelling a cappella singing. Credit, also, to the KDHX DJ who saw the humor in her slip of the tongue. Initially, she referred to the tune as "a medieval battle" before laughing and correctly calling it "a medieval ballad.")
- Stare At The Sun-Death By Unga Bunga (Catchy power pop; this is how The Sneetches might have sounded as a Norwegian indie rock band.)
- Ruhverikko-Varttina (A rhythmic test for vocalists and instrumentalists.)
- Malort-Hoven Droven (An infectious rhythmic workout for fiddle, bass, and anyone clapping along.)
WSIE 88.7 FM
- The Hippity Hop-Hank Mobley (The impressive results of a tenor saxophonist and rhythm section giving it their all.)
- South Of Market-Joyce Cooling (An easy digestible uptempo smooth jazz groove; the piano punctuates Cooling's guitar part well.)
KSHE 94.7 FM
- Goodnight and Goodmorning-Daryl Hall & John Oates (A tasteful description of a relationship that's starting to click. It was a pleasant surprise to hear this underplayed 1972 track.)
- Peacemaker-Loggins & Messina (It was great to be reminded that this 1976 sound--with its idealism, long instrumental passages, and optimistic flute accompaniment--used to be in vogue.)
