I am desperately trying to play the song you Shazam (we also show the 'now playing' songs on wyce.org so you don't have to worry about two apps). Sometimes I describe my music as hard listening music. And I don't mean that it's bad. But there's easy listening music (and I play some of that too don't worry), which is great in the background. And then there's the music that kinda demands you pay attention to it - hard listening. That's what I'm going for at least. And you might hate it and that's ok. Don't tell my boss, because the customers are always right, but this show is as much for me as it is for you. Most importantly, if you call in and tell me that your pet is at home listening to WYCE 88.1, I'll give them a shout-out on air and tell them you love them! My four-legged listeners are my favorite
