Noted here pretty good at 2033 with "Moonjock" by The Animal Collective. S-9 +15
While IDing songs here with Shazam, the song "Epilogue" by Sonja Norwood came up!, it's available on iTunes, runs 1:01 mins, so her ID talk is not original to the station, same one that WFMT uses.  I wasn't gonna spend the .99 to download it.
Off at 2255 after the usual bells.

It seems like it's an Animal Collective marathon (or similar bands). Fading between S7 and S9+20 here. Real nice show.

21:17 Clear ID Solid S-8 signal into Illinois
21:20 Music with Oriental syle with vocals. Can't ID.
21:25 Clear ID w/ Sonia Norwood. Talked about family bonds.
21:28 Brief ID then into easy listening New Age type music
21:33 ID then more music.
21:38 ID Then into a switch-up to more Techo Pop music - Don't recognise female artist (sounds a bit like Stevie Nicks).
21:44 ID Signal up to S9-S10
21:51 Guitar music - Sounded like Joe Satriani - Overall a nice mix of music...

Thanks for the show WMFT!   ...Steve

Strong here too at 2130Z. S9+20. Great audio.

Still going strong at 2225Z. Some QSB now and then. Playing quite a range of music. I heard a Jeff Beck song a while ago and they just played Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual."

Just went QRT at 2256Z. Thanks for the show, Family Radio!
