For over 9years now, KWMR has been carrying our French shows "The French Touch" and "The French Connexion". It is for me a lot of fun to research and to produce these programs. As you have heard, Public radios are in dire dangers to lose vast amount of financial support.

This is why I urge you to go right now to

 https://secure.qgiv.com/event/kwmr-pledge-drive-2025/team/992262/  

and donate any amount you can afford. Merci!

 

We have over 200 songs on our shelves and drawers we need to share with you the next couple of weeks. If you have requests, contact me at the bottom of this page.

 

Until May 2 we can listen to many versions of my theme song "C'est si bon" I have been using since 1975.  Slide down and click on my mustache to listen to them.

 

COMING UP:

 

May 8 at 2PM Pacific: The French Connexion highlighting The Paris Quartet, Olivier Latry [Notre Dame Organ], Cecile Chaminade, Hélène de Montgeroult and more.

 

May 9: We will highlight the guitar in French Pop songs with singers such as Christophe Mae, Earl Klugh, Hugues Aufray, Vianney, Yves Duteil, Richard Antony and more.

 

At times we do not have a theme, we'll play a potpourri of songs from our drawers. Contact us below to let us know what you want to hear.
