Lucy Corey
March 20, 202523:14:44Thank you, Haley, for your distinctive choices in music. I love hearing lesser known compositions by well-known composers, as well as wonderful music by unknowns. I often turn on the radio in the middle of something great, and want to write down the composers and work, and even the orchestra!! Please, repeat this information after each piece of music. This may seem boring to you, but it has been very important to me, as I listen to interpretations closely. Thank you for your consideration, and thank you for your show!
Bill Collins
March 18, 202516:01:30Wow! That piano piece by the Ethiopian composer. Great!

July 26, 202402:03:24Uplifting story… I was sitting at a metro Detroit intersection with my car windows down this week listening to Bach’s Lunch. Next thing I know, the person in the next car over was calling over to me. They wanted to know what station I was listening to and that they liked classical music. I told them 90.9 FM and Bach’s Lunch and they switched their station and thanked me. Hopefully, we have a new long term listener!
WorkerB
July 26, 202414:07:51Wow, thanks for spreading the word! Yes, hopefully a happy new member of the 90.9 WRCJ family.

November 13, 202316:51:34Hi WRCJ,
Your new website looks great. However, for the past few days the display has shown “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” by Handel as being played, continuously. This is also shown when we view what’s playing on our car’s radio. The actual music played, and announcers, all sound AOK.
WorkerB
November 14, 202306:04:58Hi Phil, sorry about that, we are in the process of replacing the music database computer in the main studio which may have caused problems with the title display. We are working on it right now.
Elissa Bluth
September 12, 202301:46:30You played something I think on that day that was supposed to be a modern piece using instruments from brandenberg concerto it was from around 1911. I thought it was sibelius but I can’t find it, any clue?
WorkerB
September 12, 202302:39:55Hi Elissa, we did play a piece by Sibelius on Midday Music Monday. It was The Tempest: Suite No. 2, Op. 109, No. 3. Was that the one you were looking for?
Gayle Turner
July 26, 202316:33:32I have spent too much time looking for I thing on your playlist and I cannot find it. I think it was July 18 (could have been the 17th or 19th) around 2pm, a piece by Franz Schubert. He is my love and I really want to know what was played. Thanks! Gayle
WorkerB
July 27, 202312:14:45Hi Gayle, a little before that on the 18th we played Schubert’s “Symphony No 8 in b, D 759 “Unfinished”: I Allegro moderato”. Was it that one?
Cathy Franklin
