WKCR-FM

Hi there WKCR ken lawrence is my name and haven't listened to much over the air radio for maybe the last eight or nine years. for several years that I was online with crappy dialup internet and slower older versions of windows I was listening to across 110th street on saturdays. one of my favorite hostesses on it was also a sometimes host on amazing grace on sunday mornings and I think she hosted your latenight funk show night train. a friend who is totally blind like me discovered her on amazing grace and he really liked her too. the thing we both liked was that very oldschool feel and a very obvious influence on her were the great R&B stations of the passed like WLIB, the classic WBLS and of course the big RL. I know you're not doing live programming at the moment it's all prerecorded or archived but I was wondering is Shawana howard still with the station. she was just soooooooooooooo cool and she really knew her funk. I hope if she's on FB that she followed this page. I'm sure she'll remember the two totally blind callers to her shows, me on across 110th street and my friend david on amazing grace. since I last heard shawana live I now do a radio show myself online. my rock and soul review can go from classic rock to classic soul and even the black rock coalition has come up and my tuesday night ken's dance mix can be a tribute to not only the classic 92 KTU or the classic WBLS. if shawana is on this page I hope she'll visit www.out-of-sight.net/radio. it's great radio made by blind and visually impaired people sitting at our computer.

Say, what happened to the rest of the Saturday 10/24 playlist of Across 110th Street??? Some great music there! Please finish posting that playlist! Great show.

Really enjoyed Hobo’s Lullaby show yesterday, 10/17.

You interrupted Phil Schaap and Charlie Parker for THIS?

The cello piece playing at the moment is most enjoyable. Thanks.

Did I miss something? I just listened to "Something inside of me" and I didn't hear Jimi Hendrix played. Since yesterday was the 50th anniversary of his passing and all over the world there were memorial jams and gatherings, I thought for sure my favorite radio station would honor him. Plenty of Stevie Ray Vaughn ,who credits Jimi as an influence. I don't get it. Years ago my favorite local station here in Hawaii ,honored Chuck Berry on his birthday by playing the Beatles covering his song. And people wonder why there is a Black Lives Matter movement going on. I hope you redeem yourselves by honoring Jimi on his birthday. November 27th.

Charles Tolliver, Jimmy Owens, Rory Stuart, Billy Harper, REGGIE WORKMAN, RICHARD HARPER, AMY LONDON, La Tanya Hall, Danny Mixon AND THE MANY OTHERS, YOU KNOW HOW TO TEACH 'EM! I LISTENED TO THE LATE ROY HARGROVE ON WKCR TODAY. HIS JAZZ ORCH. WORK IS ELEGANT!

LITERALLY THE GREATEST STATION ON AIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE JAZZ HISTORY LESSONS, IT MAKES MY DAY!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your outstanding Charlie Parker Centennial celebration broadcasts. I had the radio & audio stream on literally every single moment of it, and I'll be grateful for the rest of my life

Philharmonic Hall is in Los Angeles ("LA") not Louisiana ("LA"). Stan's last name is pronounced Lee-Vee, not Lay-vee. Floogie is pronounced with soft g (like a J, not a G). Slim's last name is pronounced Gay-lerd, not Guy-yard. This is a very promising young announcer.

And speaking of grammatical errors, here are the corrections: Once again someone decided to interrupt a beautiful Charlie Parker solo so we could listen to James Irsay make the same ridiculous grammatical mistake with which he begins every one of his shows. And for the one-millionth time, "Sonata in b minus" is NOT FUNNY, it is stupid. As usual, my question is, why interrupt a good program to present a bad one, especially in a situation where programs are frequently allowed to run overtime? Apparently, someone is out to scuttle WKCR. Shame on you, whoever made that decision.
