The Afternoon Groove is about quality music. We strive to balance the music that we hear 24/7 on the radio with music with soul: music with emotion and feeling. People say that the music today has lost its soul but on the Afternoon Groove we aim to show its still around. We feature known & unknown artists and give you a chance to hear a variety of soul music in its many forms. Check out the show each every Wednesday from 3 PM to 5 PM EST at www.afternoongrooveradio.com or www.fcac.org/webr. We can also be heard on broadcast radio in Rennes, France on Radio Laser 95.9 FM every Sunday from 20:00-21:00 BST & online at www.radiolaser.org.

Within each of us is a hidden store of energy. Energy we can release to compete in the marathon of life. Within each of us is a hidden store of courage. Courage to give us the strength to face any challenge. Within each of us is a hidden store of determination. Determination to keep us in the race when all seems lost.

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. William Shakespeare
