krtu

I am an avid radio station listener. Though I possess several booklets of CDs from over the past 10 years, the radio is still my music giver of choice. Lately, one station in particular has been satisfying my need for melodious and harmonious tunes. KRTU 91.7 is wicked awesome. Jazz music all day and all night. I remember tuning into the station every now and then during high school, but in these past few weeks I've exchanged the never-listened to Christian music station on my set radio buttons for this always-listened to college radio jazz station. A friend of mine was riding with me in my car this past weekend and commented on my music choice: "You're such a dork," she said. Yup, a dork who waits in stand-still traffic with her right foot held firmly to the brake and her left foot tapping to the jazz syncopation. A dork who imagines life decades ago in a music era distanced by time but still current in raw talent. I'm a huge dork for jazz music. And I have KRTU to thank. I'll be heading to The Landing sometime soon this summer. A jazz venue on the Riverwalk? Yes please.
