Our Live Music Friday guests today are the husband-wife jazz duo of Sunny Wilkinson and Ron Newman. Along with recording and performing, they both teach. Ron is a professor of music theory at MSU and, of course, plays piano. Sunny is an artist in residence at the University of Michigan and Hillsdale College.

Together, they perform "You and I" and "It Could Happen To You" live from WKAR's Studio S.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
