THANKS FOR LISTENING!!
Hi! I was visiting your wonderful island from Sunday May 12th to Friday May 17th at the Canyon Spa. The hotel would put on some music by the pool and during the big band/swing set (no pun intended) I heard a really nice haunting melody that seemed to play for a very long. I heard it a couple of times during my stay. The hotel personnel said the music came from your radio station.
I don’t suppose you would know the melody I’m trying to describe? The unique thing about it was it’s length. As I mentioned, it seemed very long. Thanks for your time and a great visit!
