School Closings & Delays

The scratchy guitar sounding "Amazing Grace" was Rod Stewart singing "That's All Right". The song stops and then Rod breaks into the Amazing Grace part.....You can find the tune on Every Picture Tells A Story. It was probably Ronnie Wood playing that guitar.

what was the scratchy guitar sounding amazing grace song called, it was played around 740pm april 10

Russ,
Thank you for turning me on to Matt Schofield. And many others. Terrific job............

Hi Dan.....YES! We have them in the studio. Give us a call: 802-759-4000 or 888-315-9109 Happy to answer any music questions.

? Playlists?

Glad to hear your back on, love this station. Do you plan on streaming?

For Earl
Thanks for the clarification! Can't trust that Wikipedia!

Here's the answer to your music question, Harris: Tune was "Sidney Wells" from Richard Thompson's 2010 album, Dream Attic. Thanks for keeping your radio dial on 97.9 FM.

Hey, Jenni....It was great to see you too. Really enjoyed the show! I wish I could have stayed until the very end. We don't have all of your CDs (much to my dismay). We want to play a lot more of your tunes. I'll talk to Amanda @ Starry Night. And, yes....let's definitely meet for lunch. Soon.

For VICKIE re: KEEF HARTLEY. According to All Music Guide and Keef's Obituary, he was born March 8, 1944.

Hey Diane,
great to see you and Russ several weeks ago at Antidote. Do you have music from all 3 of my CD's? Any suggestion for Starry Nite. I emailed again but no response.

Thanks.
Jenni
p.s. lunch?

What was that live Richard Thompson song you played aroud 10:45 last night (3/21/13)? Fairport Convention? It really tore my brain apart (in a good way).

ANSWER TO JIM'S MUSIC QUESTION FROM MARCH 5: "DIG DEEPER" from THE NOBBY REED PROJECT. YOU CAN FIND IT ON NRP'S ALBUM, "MOONLIGHT DRIVIN'"

Answer to Abigail's song question from March 16: "SUITE IN C" from McDonald & Giles.

Hello! I was wondering if you could tell me the name of this jazzy song I heard at around 12:05 pm on March 16. It was a pretty long song that had jazzy timing, funky bass and a flute solo. It had sort of a psychedelic feel as well and changed alot. Thank you so much for such a groovy station! Have a lovely day :)

According to wikipedia, your birthday boy for today (Keef Hartley) has a birthday on APRIL 8th. Just so you know

I am sure Russ will have a tribute to the passing of Alvin lee. Another loss for the Musicheads. My thoughts go out to the Lee family.

So I asked this question 4 months ago and never got an answer. Let me try again: "Streaming, anything new to report ?"

Hi Folks!
With all the great music you all cue up, it is inevitable that many will wonder who did a peticular selection. Then comes along one that you MUST know. So here goes: Early Tuesday morning from about 4:09am-4:19am on 3/5/2013, You played a long blues instrumental. I enjoyed that immensely. Could you please let me know the artist that did that? Thanks again. Thank you for the quality music everyday!!!!! Jim H.

Nicky Hopkins died in September 1994 while in Tennessee. Jerry Garcia said "well, thats the end of it" and he would pass less than a year later.

Love your station, especially Smokestack Lightnin' on Saturday nights, Blue Sky Cafe on Sunday AMs...during the week, glad to hear lots of Paul Butterfield, John Hiatt, Sonny Landreth, Robben Ford....any possiblility you could play Chris Rea once in a while, especially 'Nothing to Fear', 'Curse of the Traveller'....thanks for a newly discovered radio station...sometimes just cannot take alll the bad news on NPR!!!!.....Gemma

As the Raven Flies was a fantasric "Hippo Trak". Keep up the great work....

Russ, great job picking out the "Hippo Trax".

Hello.

Can you please tell me the artist you were playing Saturday Dec 15, 2012 @ approx 9:02 to 9:06 AM?
Believe it followed a tune by Mark Knopfler. Thanks
Happy Holidays and keep up the good work.

Dennis

For Steve: If you prefer to send a check, our mailing address is WZXP P.O. Box 9 Bristol, VT 05443 Thank You!

For Kate: The tune that you heard on the evening of November 11th was "Why Are We Sleeping" by a band called The Soft Machine. They're a British group that toured with The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968.

Hi Steve, You do not need a payPal account

I am not set up with Pay Pal. Okay to send you a check? If so, please provide details.

Great set as usual this morning, Russ, but when discussing Mick Abrahams and his involvement with Jethro Tull, you neglected to mention the other prominent guitarist who served between Abrahams and Martin Barre: Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi. I always found that an interesting little footnote.

Also, I am totally digging the Rush cuts you've been playing lately! While all the other stations are content to spin "Tom Sawyer" until the needle bores through the grooves, you guys are reaching back with stuff like "Xanadu." Excellent! One of these days, I hope to hear "Different Strings," but you've probably already played that.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to all at The Album Station, and keep gracing the airwaves with the best mix of music both classic and modern!

Streaming, anything new to report ?

Hey! I was driving home on Sunday night and whoever was DJ'ing was incredible. Killed it. They're was a song that was mostly 'spoken' and then the chorus was something like: why are we still speaking...Any ideas on what this song is called? I would love to get the whole set list to be honest.....Thanks for great music for young ears who feel they were born in the wrong era.

Supertramp song from November 5 is "Sleeping With The Enemy".

If any one is interested in us streaming again, please see our homepage where you can contribute to help us get there. Any amount will help. And......tell your friends.

What was the Supertramp song playing Monday evening around 6:50, right before Red Skies At Night? I'm sure I have not heard this song since the 70's! Thanks

Answer to song question from September 7th: Joan Armatrading "Down to Zero" 1978

On September 7, 2012 I "happened upon" your radio station. There was a song playing at approx. 1:50 p.m. that I really like. I have no idea of the title or artist but would like to know. Some of the words were "when you fall". Can you help me out? Many thanks.

Exceptionally good set of music by Jim Capaldi this morning. Don't listen to radio much anymore but is sure is good to know you are still there. Heard Kip Meaker last week also. Keep up the great work.

Joe's not on the list, but he was featured on Rock & Roll Birthdays on May 8th. Joe was born on May 8, 1977.
We'll be sure to add him to the list.

Hey Russ - How's about Joe Bonamassa on the May birthday list? I know you are a fan!

I had a chance to catch Blackberry Smoke in Stowe recently and I don't know of any other band so deserving of airplay. Think old Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker all wrapped up in one. Take a listen to anything off their "Little Piece of Dixie" album in particular Good One Comin' On, Restless or Freedom Song and see if you don't agree.

Russ, thanks for the birthday music this morning---------really made my day------thanks Mike

Hi Superstation WZXP!
I would like for you too look into the music of Frank Marino. (Mahogany Rush) It will not disappoint. The musichead world needs to hear this. Frank is the best guitar living. If there is a sound you can get from it, Frank will deliver. Please look into this. Thanks and keep my world rocking.....

Band of Gypsys Who Knows!!!! No one EVER plays that on the radio! Except you guys! Made my day hearing my favorite song!

Thanks, the album station is the best!

Anything new to report on resolving the temporary lack of streaming ?

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! To Jim H. Song Question from 2/13 around 6:15 PM - That's Spanish/A Minor from Mick Taylor's first solo album (1979)

A friend asked me who did the tune aprox 6:15-6:20 pm on Feb 13. He said it was an instrumental with brilliant guitar and was rather long. I had just missed it as I had left my car to go into work. I too would be interested as to who that might have been. Thanks.

A friend asked me who did the guitar instrumental 6:15 or 6:20pm. I had just left my car at work. Could you please temm me what that was? Thanks........Jim

You were playing an instrumental on Monday Feb 13 at 6:15pm or 6:20pm. It had some brilliant guitarwork. A friend asked me who did that, but I had just missed it as I had just arrived at work. I too would be interested to know what that tune was. Thanks.

Just discovered the station and can't get enough! Keep playing! Can't wait until streaming is back so I can listen at work!

Work in NYC and live in NJ. Would love to hear you guys again. Would it be less expensive/work to stream with a group like "Live 365"?

is there a way to get a playlist for 1/16/2012?
Thanks, and we LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT . . . . .
The Newmanators, in AForks, NY

To J. Dirt: The version of "Hey Joe" that you asked about is from New Jersey Bluesman, Billy Hector, who was one of the headliners at our 2006 Blues Fest.

Just a quick question about a song title & it's origin: you played it ending at 7:07 p.m. on 12/09/11. Certainly sounded like an early Genesis (Peter Gabriel era) song, but could not put my "finger" on the album of origin. If you have time, please let me know. Keep Up The Awesome Work - LOVE YOUR STATION!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing radio station! Can't imagine the library of music you must have. Have heard this version of "Hey Joe" several times and would like to know who sings it. Can't give you a specific time, but last time I heard it was around 2pm on 12/2/2011. Keep up the great work!

Hi Musicheads, Not sure how many people listened to the streaming Album Station but they're close to having it online again. However, they need a little help from us Musicheads. They have a page set up for a secure monthly payment of $10, $25, $50, $75 or $100 via Paypal. I don't have much money but I can afford $10 a month. If there are enough people that could give $10 or $25 a month the streaming would up and running in no time.

This could be the perfect Christmas gift for a friend with a business. For $25 a month you will receive at least 30 advertising spots a month. This is not limited to local supporters. The business could be anywhere in the world. The Album Station had listeners in New Zealand, France, England and China....to name a few countries and all over the U.S.A.

The Album Station has given us so much great listening over the last 12 years, lets help get the streaming back online. Remember WZXP is not your average radio station and that's why you don't hear the junk that comes with all the corporate stations.

To Jim H: "14 Days" is from Seattle based musician, Laura Love.

To Pike: Where do you live? I have a feeling that you live close to the WOKO tower which is a 100,000 watt station. That's enough to overpower WZXP which (our tower) is approximately 25 miles from there.

For Mary......song question.....November 6th Blue Sky Cafe: I know exactly which song you mean because I also thought that it sounded like a tune from Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull. It's actually a Moody Blues tune written by keyboard player, Mike Pinder...."So Deep Within You" from "On The Threshold of a Dream" (1969)

With Thanksgiving approaching I remember when living in Burlington hearing you play Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving morning. It had become a real tradition. Really miss the "streaming". Peace guys...

Hey Russ, hows six meters?

I've tried to tune into your station at home with various radio and get WOKO on your frequency better than I get WZXP. I think WOKO is crowding your frequency.

You played something this morning (11/6/11) at about 9:15 or so that sounded like a Jethro Tull tune. I didn't catch what artist you said it was. Thanks.

Kindly consider Tower of Power's 1973 self-titled album as one of your weekly album selections.

Thanks

Russ and Diane - be great to have a Blues Fest 2012. Any chance of this happening?

Russ
Great job on the R&R B-day of Mark Farner. Well done.

Hi The great ones of musicheadmanship. You folks do not even know how bad I was Jonesing during your abscense last year It is also great to see that I may finally find out who did some of those tunes that you play. Here is a stab in the dark on this one: A very nice lady vocal sings of 14 days... etc. can you help me here?

Answer for Gina.....Thanks for listening! I looked over our playlist for the date and time that you asked about and couldn't find a tune that fit your description. If you happen to hear it again, don't hesitate to call us. We're always happy to identify tunes for you. 802-759-4000.

Reply to Helene.....Yes we have and do!

Hello PD. Can you please tell me if your station has ever aired any Bill Champlin? Please reply?

Hi! Great morning of music, thanks! At 11:18 this morning (August 2nd) , a dancey type song was ending. Had kind of an afro-funk feel to it, I missed the title! Could you get me up to speed?? THanks!

Question to John Westie:
Where do you listen and get the interference from CHOM? Where are you located?

Music question answer for Aaron:
The song Dark Star is a Crosby, Stills and Nash tune. It can be found on the album CSN.

Music question answer for Lana G:

That was Bryan Ferry, from his album Dylanesque....."The Times They Are a Changin"...

You guys are the best!! like most everyone ...were wating for a stream! You all remind me of combination of a couple soCal radio stations maybe one inLA back in the late 80 klsx and a combo of the point wncs, 1053 in Killington which do believe went defunct o few years ago. There are few othe stations you kind or remind me of .but i won't get into ..but you are the combination of all of them in one complete package without the majoe comercialism of all them other stations! Its nice how you mix the tunes up with some well known songs with well know artists and not so known songs and albums, without forgetting the lesser known artists! Again thank You!
Its amazing i don't know what happened all these years in an out of VT and most recently have been here about a year and a half and just discovered you all about 3 months ago. Maybe its becuazse i never lived here in the northern Champlain valley, only in Rutland/ killington, randolph as well as the NEK areas of VT. You guys are like a best kept secret afraid to get to big!

keep up the awsome work ...looking forward to the stream one day!

Best regards,

Jim Stanton

Hi,
Driving back from Pointe au Roche on Tuesday, July 19 around 10:30 p.m. or later, we heard a great cover of a classic Dylan song - you did not identify the artist. Is there any way you can give us the playlist for that evening?
We really enjoy your music.
thanks,
Lana (Canada)

Fantastic station. Don't want to change the channel. Miss you when we're out of town.

Can you let us know how much more is needed to get you back up streaming?

Hi, I would love to listen much more, however I am getting infected with the CHOM signal. Any help out there?

I just stumbled upon your station 3 days ago and I am totally BLOWN AWAY! I grew up a "B" sides fan and the past three days has been a total 70's replay of pleasurable sounds and memories. I have yet to hear the same song twice which is a great accomplisment for any terestrial radio station and speaks volumes about your music library. I had satellite radio. The play list for any station I listened to was not as extensive as yours and I was hearing the same play list over and over each day. My radio will not leave 97.9 from now on!!!! Thanks for the music for the head, I feel much better already.

Hey Guys and Gals - Great station, have been listening for a couple of years and I'm always surprised by the diversity of the music you play. Please keep it up! On a side note, I was listening a couple of weeks ago and heard a song with the refrain - "Dark Star... something...., see you in the morning", but can't seem to find out what group/song it is. I know this is very vague, but was hoping you might be able to identify who it is!

Hi, any date on when you'll be offering streaming? Talked to you 2-3 months ago and at that time you were confident it was only a week away. How do things look now?
Jonesing in Nevada!

love your station listen to you guys and gals everyday. cant wait for the rest of your rock and roll birthdays this month i try to catch it everyday.

We have one sponsor, who has been a long time advertiser, increase the amount that he pays for his ads to help with the streaming. But we still need a commitment of approximately $150. in addition to that. That's $150. per month., not a one-time donation. (The streaming bill arrives every thirty days.) We're looking for another advertiser OR 10 - 15 listeners to contribute $10 per month. (That's only $2.50 a week.) ......not a whole lot of money at all. Please consider helping with this and sign up using Paypal. We will then be streaming again.

Hi Woodchuck, I've been a listener from day one and WZXP is looking for sponsors to get the streaming going again. WZXP is not a large corporation radio station, they do not have all of adds between each song that you get sick of hearing day after day. That is almost unheard of now days. Were very lucky to have WZXP in our area. So all the listeners wanting the streaming back it is time to show your support. I am committed to $10 a month to see it happen. If all the people that have asked about streaming did the same it will be back streaming very soon. Millions pay for satellite radio. Let us listeners sponsor the streaming. Check the front page on the website for how you can help.

Still no streaming ? How temporary might this be ? Wife getting suspicious when I keep borrowing her car, since it's the only way i can listen to the station now. My old beater truck just won't pull you in. Save a marriage, stream please.

Answer to your inquiry, Bryce:
That was 25 year old British Blueswoman, Joanne Shaw Taylor with Time Has Come, from her debut album, White Sugar. Yes indeed, she handles lead vocals and also lead guitar.

...absolutely NOTHING wrong with more Aretha. Great mix this morning!

I ran across your station about three years ago while visiting Vermont. You got me hooked! Enjoyed your streaming station. Then you took it away. I live in Illinois. Its been over a year since you took it away. Please, bring the streaming back and when might it be? I have supported your station, but I can't if you don't stream it. Please don't leave me hanging! STREAM.

Yesterday (3/18) around 4 o'clock there was a long set of bluesy guitar jams that included "The Ironic Twist" by Jimmie Vaughan and a tune by Eric Clapton. Before those songs I heard a song featuring great guitar work but I don't know who it was. I think some of the lyrics were "Well it's goodbye honey."

Any idea what song it was? It sounded live.

This answer is for Ellen: The tune that you were wondering about from February 22 is Journey of The Sorcerer by The Eagles. It appears on their album, One Of These Nights, circa 1975.

I came upon your station by accident, it was like finding money! I'm going to spread the word about you. I was wondering if you could tell me the name of a song you played this morning 3/4/11, it had lyrics something like "mama told me son don't you be no bum". LOL. Thankyou.

Sweeeeet! Another cut from The Grift. Three Minutes and Counting. Thanks!

Hi Diane and Russ,
Yesterday 2/22 at 6:43 PM I turned on the radio and heard an instrumental that I can only describe as a banjo concerto. What was that? I've heard you play it before and have been wondering.

Hi Nina....That was The Electric Light Orchestra with Fire On High from the album Face The Music (1975)
Thanks for listening! ~ Diane

Hi Diane, Hi Russ,

This afternoon, 2/15/11 at 4:35 p.m. you played an instrumental tune--what was it?

Thanks--Nina

The tune you heard on January 13 is Tired and Lonesome by Davis Coen.

Do you guys keep a playlist. I heard a blues song on 1/13 between 5:15 and 5:30 and I would like to know the name and artist. The song that came on after it was Yellow Moon by the Neville Brothers. Thanks

Glad you're back. Long live the album station. Now hire Uncle Dave.

What the heck is going on?? I am on 97.9 and Wizard is coming through the box? Did I take some acid and forget? WOW! What a trip!!
