Today's recommended selections:
KBLU (Logan, UT)
- Letting Go-Angie McMahon (Admirable lyrics about figuring out how to end relationships gracefully and learn from one's errors.)
KRVM (Eugene, OR)
- All Those Years Ago-George Harrison (This wasn't usually played on the radio after it was a hit, given how of its time it sounded. Lyrically and melodically, this 1981 tribute to John Lennon was one of Harrison's best solo efforts, however, and was deservedly one of his biggest hits.)
WAJH (Birmingham, AL)
- Canadian Sunset-Richie Cole & Tony Monaco (I always enjoyed playing Hugo Winterhalter's version of this on WEW. Cole and Monaco jazz it up with an appealing bounce on saxophone and organ, respectively.)
- Impressions (Live)-Wes Montgomery & Wynton Kelly Trio (A steeplechase in the best sense, with brisk, energetic guitar work from Montgomery and piano playing from Kelly.)
WHDD (Sharon, CT)
- William Bolcom: Tabby Cat Walk (John Murphy, piano) (A self-assured ragtime melody. I can imagine my tabby cat, Collette, washing her fur in time to this.)
WMWV (Conway, NH)
- Yes To You-Susan Werner (Empowering lyrics against a backdrop of upbeat, bluesy instrumentation acknowledge that some relationships are best left dissolved.)
