Happy Anniversary GNT!

When the Bobby Rich Morning MIX heard that Good News Tucson is celebrating 20 years, they decided to team up to pick a special song that all 3 agree is, “inspiring, encouraging, heart-lifting and positive.”

BR: “First of all—“ (All 3 shout): “Happy 20th Anniversary G.N.T.!” (Mrs. Grant laughs)

BR: “Now let’s talk music…as a morning radio show host, I personally find ANY song that begins with lyrics that talk about ‘the morning’ and ‘waking up’ to be some of my favorites! Plus we live in Tucson—you know its goin’ to be ‘ clear day, in this city.’ We love Streetcorner Symphony!”

MG: “I enjoy the uplifting feel of the song. The lyrics make me think of our ‘little radio family’ as we sometimes refer to ourselves, because we seem to dance around in the studio when we hear this song together.”

GC: “Well, you guys always tease me about loving songs for the music more than the lyrics, but this one has both a head-bobbing, get out-ya’ seat type of groove AND it’s welcoming and inclusive, like a neighborhood block party! ‘Come on over, Down to the corner, My sisters and my brothers of every different color.’ Throw in a great guitar solo from John Mayer and you gotta admit--that’s good stuff!”

Rob Thomas - Streetcorner Symphony lyrics

Album: Something To Be

It's morning
I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day
In this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world
Let's come together
More than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it

Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Can't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go…
