The Waking Hours is my show at WMNF Community Radio, 88.5 FM and available online at:  The Waking Hours airs each week on Tuesday mornings, 3- 6 am and can be heard through the archive link:  for a week after the show ends. The show is programmed by Craig Huegel and is comprised of many genres, but anchored by acoustic singer/songwriters. I am always interested in new music for possible airplay. My email is: [log in to unmask] and my address is: 1648 Paragon Place, Holiday, FL, 34690. My show is 3 hours long and gives me the opportunity to sample more music. I will still feature a new CD each week, but only in the last 2 hours.  Today I did what I always do on my first show of a new year - I played from my favorite releases of the past year.  Fifteen releases that I played the most during 2025 plus a song at the end that was my favorite individual song of 2025. Except for the last song, there is no particular order to these.
