Five Saturday night highlights:
KCJV (Marta, TX)
- I'll Try To Forgive You-Robert & The Eternals (It takes talent to make well-worn sentiments sound fresh, but this oldie, with its early '60s-style pop vocals and organ, pulls it off. Sidebar: I have to admire a radio station whose slogan is, "We play the rarest records in the world.")
KYGT (Idaho Springs, CO)
- Two Paths-David Helpling & Jon Jenkins (This compelling instrumental straddles the line between new age and rock.)
WJPC (Chicago, IL)
- Poquito Spanish, Poquito Funk-George Benson (A self-assured guitar groove with occasional vocal punctuation, as needed.)
- Find A Way-Aloe Blacc (This steady rhythm lends itself well to being looped.)
WKYW (Keyser, WV)
- Cherokee Shuffle-Sally Van Meter (Fast, dexterous pickin' and fiddlin'.)
