Will WAKR be broadcasting the Cleveland Indian games starting July 23, 2020?
Will WAKR, 1590 AM, be broadcasting the Cleveland Indian baseball games during the 60 game season starting July 23, 2020?
I am loving the music being broadcast. It has been said that "music soothes the savage beast" and I feel that WAKR is playing what is relaxing in this stressful time. I mention your WAKR to everyone I talk with. Please continue.😀

Nothing yet about Bob Friend; "My Boyfriend" and the "Dream Machine"? I listened to him when I was a child in the '60s and still enjoyed listening to him until he retired. He was a very nice person when I met him in person too. RIP Bob, you are missed on the air! God bless and condolences to his family.
Hello child of God… With the coronavirus. we are going through tough times, but God is with us. Keep washing your hands, but most of all keep praying.
Here are two great poems from the book “I LOVE GOD by Gregory St. James Mundy
Please enjoy and share with anyone you know may benefit from them God Bless.
Hard Times
Have you ever felt like the whole world was on your shoulders?
Like everyone was out to get you and trying to run you over?
No matter what you do, it always turns out wrong.
Everything around you keeps falling as you try desperately to hold on.
Everybody seems to be going up, while you keep heading down.
Everyone has something to smile about, while you wear a frown.
They all seem to be doing well and climbing up to the top.
They all get to drink from the cup of success, but you never get a drop.
Nothing ever seems to go your way and you don't even know the meaning of the word Luck?
No matter how much you scrape and save, something always comes along and take your last buck.
Well... just remember the man who complained about not being able to buy a new pair of shoes, until he met a man with no feet.
The girl who complained about having to wear glasses, until she bumped into a blind man on the street.
The boy who complained of having to eat his vegetables, when there are kids starving in the world with nothing to eat.
The woman who complained about her baby crying all night, while some are born never to speak.
Your life may not be as good as others but remember that there is always someone worst off than you.
So instead of complaining of what you don't have, take the time to thank the Lord for what you do.
DEATH
Will the pain ever leave me, will the hurt ever cease?
The feeling that we feel when a love one is deceased.
The tears that cannot be held back, but so openly flow.
The feeling of complete emptiness that you feel from head to toe.
I have not lost a relative or a friend, but surely a piece of myself.
People gather to offer me sympathy, but they had no idea of how I felt.
Losing someone who was so dear and close to me.
Trying hard to be strong but feeling complete misery.
Never again seeing their smile or being able to share again the fun we had.
Wishing that I could just take back some of the things I said.
There are so many things I wish we could have done that we never had time to do.
Like taking the time out to just spend a little bit more time with you.
All the things that I thought that we had a lifetime to do.
Now I must convince myself that I will not be doing them with you.
There were times when you made me mad and got on my last nerve.
But it was nothing compared to all the good times that the two of us shared.
Losing a loved one is such a hurting pain.
To say how you feel, one is not able to explain.
Knowing that you have lost something that can never be replaced.
Feeling an empty loss that no amount of time can ever erase.
The only comfort is given is knowing of their final resting place.
Will be with the Almighty One, The Lord, Our Grace.
Can anyone tell me about the history of this 2 LP album I bought MANY YEARS back titled "WAKR Number 1 Music "Solid Gold"? Produced by Variety Clubs International.
I know VCI is a non-profit Charity for the health and benefit of children across the world. But, I would love to know more about it. Thank YOU in advance 😀
Good day,
Food is very near and dear to our business. Safety is a priority for us. Providing solutions is something we do very well.
Our local family owned Food Distribution company has been in business for 60 years in the supply chain side of the Foodservice Industry selling mainly to family owned restaurants within our state.
We supply well over one thousand restaurants on a weekly basis by purchasing, warehousing, and delivering over 4000 items to choose from.
As you know the restaurant industry has taken a major blow with its service limited to carryout and third party delivery - all to a very nervous customer base. All the while retailers are struggling to keep their shelves full with a 50% increase in demand.
Therefore, we’ve quickly put together a food staples and non-food staples program for our community citizens in Northeastern Ohio. We are offering a safe shopping experience, with curbside service, and a focus on providing staples like ground beef and toilet paper, which we have in ample supply along with bottled water and gallons of milk, fresh eggs, and fresh and frozen vegetables too!
Since we own a meat production facility, we are also offering hamburger patties, beef steaks, pork chops, sausage, and chicken.
Our supply chain is different than that of most grocers so we are not realizing the same shortages. Shop with confidence knowing that we can fill your order.
Why no picture of jeanne destro and I have NOT heard any songs from Johnny Mathas. Why not ?
