Can you help me? This website is not perfect, and it is not the way we want it especially the way it looks on smart phones. We ara looking for someone to do a one time clean-up - fonts, margins, embeded images - and an occasional support. Can you help me with cpanel?

 

COMING UP ON KWMR 90.5FM, KWMR.org:

 

 

Did you listen on January 2? How many times did you hear "Bonne Année" during the show? You were numerous to attempt to count them and Virginie from Walnut Creek came the closest with a guess of 510 times. The actual number was 492!

 

On January 16th, we rediscovered the top French Pop songs of the year 2000, click on my mustache below to listen to that show.

 

On January 23rd, we rediscovered the French pop songs of 2010 by singers that were successful and are still producing songs. Part II will be this coming Friday: click on my mustache below to listen to that show.

 

On January 30th we will hear a conversation I had with Ugo Bienvenu, filmaker and director of the anime movie ARCO selected by the Cannes Festival. The movie will open in the Bay Area on January 30th at:

 

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema New Mission
Cinemark Century 20 Daly City
Cinemark Century 20 Redwood Downtown
Cinemark Century 16 Downtown Pleasant Hill
Rialto Cinemas Cerrito
Rialto Cinemas Sebastopol

 

That day I will also present some of the French pop songs of 2010 by singers that were not successful and that we haven't heard from since.

 

ALSO, on January 30th at 5PM PT, for 2 hours my cousin Jacques from Nice will produce "Happy Hour", a French cocktail moody music program to unwind before the weekend. Here are the ingredients for the mocktail - to be consumed without moderation - he concocted for us, he will give us the recipe during the show:

 

Non-Alcoholic French 75 Mocktail

 

Ingredients
 

• 2 cups ice
• 3 ounces fresh lemon juice
• 4 dashes lemon or orange bitters
• 2 (6-8oz) bottles premium [ in glass] tonic water
• 2 rock candy swizzle sticks

 

On THURSDAY February 5th at 2PM Pacific: two hours of classical music mostly with woodwin and brass instruments.

 

On February 6th at 4PM Pacific we will enjoy basic French pop music with Lara Fabian, Louis Chedid, Marc Lavoine and many more.

 

On February 13th, Valentine's we will discover love songs by new emerging singers proposed by Sophie Cantier.

 

We just celebrated TEN YEARS of The French Touch on KWMR, and fifty years of Radio à la Carte in California! At about an average of 15 songs per show, that's over 7800 French pop songs shared with you just on KWMR! I am so glad we did it together, KWMR and you the listeners. Drop me a line below, would you?

 

At times we do not have a theme, we'll play a potpourri of songs, lots of good French Pop music from our shelves and drawers, including new recordings just received. Contact us below to let us know what you want to hear.
