Five ear-catching selections heard today:
KCSN-HD2 (Los Angeles, CA)
- Feels Like Home-Grace Kelly featuring Elliott Skinner (Countless songs convey similar sentiments, but their lyrics and vocals aren't necessarily as moving as these. Kelly and Skinner blend well vocally, and this tune fits equally well into soft rock and smooth jazz playlists.)
KSDB (Manhattan, KS)
- Cherry Blossom-Rubblebucket (If this 2022 track had existed 30 years earlier, I would have played it more than once on KCOU. This is a fun sing-along melody, augmented well with horns. Flasher's "Eastern Ave" would sound right to me after it.)
KWAX (Eugene, OR)
- Thomas Linley: Violin Concerto in F major (The Parley Of Instruments/Peter Holman, conductor; Elizabeth Wallfisch, violin) (If you're a violinist who can pick your own audition piece, this is a smart choice. By the end of the last movement, an audition committee would have a strong grasp of your precision, dexterity, and range of expression. Also, this concerto isn't an obvious choice, so that might intrigue your judges before you even start playing.)
WGRE (Greencastle, IN)
- Pink Light-Muna (A frank lyrical admission that when you're not on the same page with someone, it's best to cut your losses.)
WJZP (Portland, ME)
- We Got The Funk-Positive Force (All lyrics don't have to be lectures on the evils of war, excessive taxation, or ecological neglect. Sometimes, it's enough for a tune to simply have a well-sustained groove.)
