To Peter Whorf: I just listened to the Jenkins piece from the DiBeer’s Diamond commercial. Jack and I got married i8/16/ 1997 on the deck of The Roostertail, overlooking
the Detroit River. We invited our guests for a cocktail hour ahead of the ceremony. I chose Jenkin’s Diamond “concerto” music to be played while our guests sipped champagne. I love that piece and it was a slight homage to my husband’s Welsh ancestry. Thanks for playing on this cold and sunny day.
Warm Regards,
Barb Hughes
Hi Barb, happy to do so. Its nice you have such a wonderful memory to go with that piece. Thanks for listening and stay warm.
Dear Peter-
A week or so ago you played a piece from a recording by Serge Nakariakov, trumpet. I have tried to find a recording to purchase but have not been successful. Can you help? Details below.

Might want to double check the piece you liked is on there. Thanks for tuning in each day!
The playlist for 12-1-20 seems to be incorrect. there was a version of Aldred Burt’s Christmas Bouquet played around 10.15 and its not listed. Can you tell me what the recording was?
Hi Paul, Dr, Dave added that in, it was the Boston Pops Orchestra under John Williams with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus on a SONY disc, spine number 48232.
Why isn’t there a play list for today ?
Hi Bill, it’s there, have a look here: https://www.wrcjfm.org/events/playlist-1118/

Really enjoyed the capriccio for bassoon & piano with Bob Williams. Would enjoy hearing that again & others like it.
Thanks Fred, we’ll see what else we’ve got!
