Thursday morning highlights:
WSIE 88.7 FM
- Up And At It-Wes Montgomery (Cool, uptempo guitar with a kick, which was par for the course with Montgomery. This could be a prelude to the Smuggler Brothers instrumental, "101.")
- Funktified-Pamela Williams featuring Lenny Nance (An appealingly steady groove for saxophone and piano.)
KCLC 89.1 FM
- I'm Still Fine-The Red Clay Strays (Appropriate lyrics for staying resilient during trying times.)
- Life Is-Jessica Pratt (The echo on the vocals lends gravity to the lyrics about not having life all figured out.)
KWUR 90.3 FM
- North To South-Eliza Edens (Endearing vocals and acoustic guitar. In a more just world, singer-songwriter tunes like this would be more prevalent on mainstream stations.)
K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2
- Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, "Pastoral": V. Allegretto (Cleveland Orchestra/George Szell, conductor) (Although I was sorry to miss the first movement, which sounds as pastoral as any other tranquil movement I've played on the bass, I was glad to catch the last movement, which conveys convincingly the relief one would feel after a storm.)
