@kumasote @SAfmRadio Thank you so much for the beautiful 2nd movement of K595, Mozart's piano concerto 27. In my view, this is Mozart's most beautiful composition, and his last piano concerto. Thank you again.

@AshrafGarda Port Elizabeth was named after Elizabeth Donkin, the wife of the then acting colonial governor at the Cape, Rufane Donkin. I was happy to see that city renamed Gqeberha

@KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio I just arrived home and tuned in just in time to hear Diana Krall's "Case of you". How perfect! As always, a beautiful Sunday line-up. Thank you dear K. xx❤️

@KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio Thank you for this beautiful Sunday line-up (as always). May 2026 be a wonderful and fulfilling year for you. 🙏🧡

Thanks for that fantastic interpretation of Joni Mitchell's classic Big Yellow Taxi and for the backstory to why she wrote this song. I couldn't catch today's artist's name? I am convinced your program speeds up the healing of my fractured spine ! 🧡

@KGMoeketsi What lovely selections this Sunday (your favourite ... and mine). Thanks for the soothing and sheer enjoyment of this beautiful music. Blessings 🙏🧡

[Sandra Rowoldt Shell @sandyrowoldt]

@KGMoeketsi Thanks KG. I didn't fall, slip or stumble. My sacrum just broke spontaneously (extreme osteoporosis and scolioses) - 4th time I have experienced such broken vertebrae!! It is healing steadily though and your selections bring me joy, bless your heart! xx

@KGMoeketsi I loved those two songs (the first by the excellent Caiphus Semenya and the next by the woman with the voice of an angel a few minutes ago - I did not catch her name but it was exquisite). Thanks KG! I have been quiet as I broke my spine (again) two months ago!🧡

@KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio #seasons I reached home a little later than usual but caught part of the perfect start to this Sunday's program: Joni Mitchell, Stacey Kent & Diana Krall & "Case of You." Thank you. I need your soothing sounds today! Bless your musically gifted heart!❤️🙏

@ZeldalaGrangeSA @Oliver_Speaking I think "congratularions" is a rather special variation, @ZeldalaGrangeSA !
To revert to the conventional spelling: huge congratulations, @Oliver_Speaking though I miss you on your late night radio spot

[Sandra Rowoldt Shell @sandyrowoldt]

@KGMoeketsi @KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio That version of "The nearness of you" was such a beautiful start to your (always special) Sunday programme. Tuned in for the rest now, listening in gratitude. xx❤️

[Sandra Rowoldt Shell @sandyrowoldt]

@KGMoeketsi Thanks so much @KGMoeketsi ... and now ... bliss ... Abdullah Ibrahim. A perfect Sunday line up. Thank you and be blessed xx🙏❤️

@KGMoeketsi @KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio Just arrived home & heard the tail end of a piece of music & your description of the Korean jazz artist who collaborates worldwide as well as being a very popular soloist. Please can you repeat his name? There are so many great Korean soloists and groups

[Sandra Rowoldt Shell @sandyrowoldt]

@KGMoeketsi @SAfmRadio #Seasons Thank you for a great musical line-up this Sunday, dear KG. Be blessed and have a good week. Sandy 🙏❤️
