Hello, this is Lionel Whitney. Welcome to Jazz as it is.

I've missed my only thing. There's nothing like the joy you were in.

I wonder what happened. If you were trust in me.

I make you believe. I make you see. No need to run from me.

I make you feel like never before.

Yeah, I'll stand all alone, help me find a door.

Anybody can see. Maybe you've been hiding before.

Let me hear your pain. It won't ever hurt no more.

Whatever it takes to make you happy.

Whatever it takes to make you smile.

Whatever it takes to make you feel good.

I'll be around.

My home has been near you.

Who's on my pain?

Your miracle suits me. Your heart can lose me.

I can't love explain.

But I just get a headache.

They come too much to bear.

Honey, don't you say nothing? I hold on, I'm coming.

I want you to know that I'll be there.

I'll make you feel like never before.

We'll let her live, oh baby, overlapped the door.

Oh, that good jazz is coming right here. It's coming right at you from 432 GML. This is Lionel Whitney. Thank you for joining me again. I always like to say that three or four times

Can it help me get along and know that you are listening. I've got several requests into the studio here. I've got of course that one from gentlemen that wanted to hear John Lucian and also one for Randy Crawford. You can join those folks by hitting me up on 432 GML at gmail.com

And let me know what you want to hear most of the time. I'd say 99.9% of the time I've got what you want. If it's not the exact, we'll work around. We'll work it in there for you.

Okay, at the top of that set we had a nice little thing from Willie Jackson, Portie Jazz is the name of the CD and Bar Wars. Randy Crawford of course came in from Funky Jazz and give me the night.

And the Crusaders, Southern and Comfort and when there's love around and you just listen to Bob James and David Sandborn, double visions the name of that CD and Maputa or that right here again.

Listen, I always try to get good words from folks and I take them from you and I also take them from individuals who are well known such as Maya Angelo. She says, I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me I love you.

There is an African saying which is, quote, be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt. Makes sense, doesn't it? Right here, Joe favorite station.
