It’s Friday, and here at Current State, that means live music. Today, we’ve invited noted local pianist John Dale Smith to join us for some music marking the approaching Christmas holidays.Smith is well known for a long career at Lansing Community College and for his work on dozens of musicals with local theater companies. He's also director of music at Plymouth Congregational Church in Lansing.

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