FM dial scan highlights CCXCIV

This morning's highlights:

WSIE 88.7 FM 

  • Sir John-Blue Mitchell (Swingin' trumpet and rhythm section.  Thank goodness for WSIE, as I've never heard any other station or stream play Mitchell's music so frequently.)
  • City Walk-Carol Albert (Uptempo, easy-to-digest smooth jazz piano that's not too far removed from the new age genre.)

KCLC 89.1 FM 

  • Won't You Speak Your Mind?-Whitney (This was released in 2025 but has a throwback '70s soft rock feel.  Lyrically, it's a sound reminder that people aren't mind readers.)
  • Another Life-Alabama Shakes (For times when closing the door on someone might be best reconsidered.)

K297BI 107.3 FM, a.k.a. WFUN-HD2

  • Virgil Thomson: Symphony On A Hymn Tune: III. Allegretto (Monadnock Festival Orchestra/James Bolle, conductor)  (Heroic-sounding strings, winds, and brass.)
