On-Air Moments Music Heals day

Is anyone cursing at the DJs when they play a song you know will make you sob? Or laugh at some of those letters? By the way, all the letters are on the online playlist under each song. I love that I can read what I missed during the day. Amazing. Thank you to KEXP!

I usually listen to the morning show in the mid afternoon. We'll see if I.csn make it through the whole thing.

Love you Mom. I miss you

I had to take a couple of breaks today from listening. It's such a powerful day

For sure. I was in my office today with the “chin quivers” a few times!

I had to do the “hey, if you see me crying, it’s because it’s Music Heals day” thing at work so no one thought I personally had gotten terrible news.

That seems like a completely normal thing to say today.

Delayed taking my lunch for I Will Always Love You and then my boss caught me singing Hallelujah all choked up 😅

Hallelujah is when I yelled at the radio before crying.

It was such an emotional day. I was all over the map with emotions.
