Since 1968, "Tower of Power" has created its own kind of soul music. Touring the world each year, "TOP" delivers its unique music to sold-out crowds.

Hear that unique music and more this Saturday when host Amy Powers interviews "TOP" lead singer Larry Braggs. You'll hear about Braggs' musical influences (Al Green, Tom Jones, James Brown, BB King), his background, and how he became part of "Tower of Power".

Don't miss out -- Tune in 2pm!

What keeps the Jews of 1905 Anatevka going is the balance they achieve by following their ancient traditions. And the lot of Jews in Russia is as precarious as a fiddler on a roof: trying to eke out a pleasant tune, while not breaking their necks.

Tevye, Golde and their five daughters know and accept these truths. Or do they?

Explore these traditions through the music of "Fiddler on the Roof" 10am this Friday with host Joe.

Enjoy lots of big band hits and Kristin's live updates from the Dearborn Farmer's and Artist's Market too!

It's all here this Friday, from 10am - 1pm.

Join host Mike Holloway as he explores the 2000 year-old world of acupuncture with guests Nora Madden and Jalyn Spencer. The acupuncturists from "Detroit Community Acupuncture," in midtown Detroit, discuss the methods, modes, benefits and body's responses to acupuncture.

In summary, acupuncture is about balancing two opposing and inseparable forces: yin (sold, slow, passive) and yang (hot, excited, active).

About 10 years ago, two guys named Alec became WHFR DJs. One hosted a show called "The Metallic K.O." and the other "The Dog and Pony Show."

Alec and Alec decided to co-host an indie-music program called "AA Battery."

Tune in this Sunday at 7pm for the final "AA Battery" show when the Alecs play some of their favorite cuts from past shows.
