Vocal Chords is the weekly a cappella and vocal music show from the College of Journalism & Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.   The show airs/streams from 8:00-10:00 a.m. CST (-06:00 GMT) on Friday mornings, repeating in the same time slot on Sunday mornings.

Here are two weeks of playlists.

This weekend’s show was an abbreviated one due to weather-related delays in getting to the station.  It hadn’t snowed that much (particularly compared to what our friends on the east coast are getting) but traffic had slowed to a near stand-still.

New music this weekend from Zach Gray – www.myspace.com/zachgraymusic.  Got new music you’d like to share with my audience?  My full contact information is at the bottom of this playlist.  The e-mail address for the show is vocalchords2@unl.edu.
