Dear Mr. Bowers -- what a powerful song. But I don't know that I could be as forgiving as Carla Sciaky seems to be at the end.

8:28 AM, October 3rd, 2026
Mike Regenstreif (host)
I agree, Elliot.

Neil & Dancer
Good morning Mike. What a pleasant surprise when I arose this morning; I had forgotten it was your week for Saturday Morning. I remember the first time I heard "Dear Mr. Bowers". It brought me to tears in the power of it's sincerity. This morning, it brought me to tears once again. Woe is the world we live in. Thank God for the power of heartfelt songwriting to remind us all of the humanity that resides in us all. CKCU is a "beacon in the night" and a refuge from the storm that is the world today. Thanks Mike for always "keeping it real" with your incredible curation and your powerful insights into the human condition.

Yes, Frank London's new album is a great dive into Fife & Drum music. Between the Klezmatics and all his other projects, Frank is an incredibly busy and creative musician.

Thanks Mike for a great list of music - Mr. Bowers grabbed me and made me stop washing the dishes. Thanks Mike, as always, for being there for all of us. I do believe this world is touched by so many good people. There's only a few assholes. Cheers.
