January 12 marks the anniversary of a mystery nearly two decades old. The mystery of two men disappearing under similar circumstances has now become the subject a locally-produced podcast by investigative reporter, Janine Zeitlin, and her colleagues from the Naples Daily News and The News Press.

We're using our Song of the Day platform to honor some of the musical artists who passed away during 2022. Join us as we provide a little trivia, a little history, and a musical tribute of sorts to just some of the hundreds of musicians who left us last year. There are too many to celebrate in one hour, so the singers, songwriters, and musicians we chose all led interesting lives, created amazing music, or made an unusual impact in their field. These 16 people may have left us in body, but in spirit, they each left their mark on us, and on music, forever.

Every Friday, throughout the year, WGCU and Sheldon Zoldan have presented a little bit of history, a little bit of music, with a lot of music. As we close out the year, Fridays in December will go to honoring 5 musicians, singers, and songwriters who left us in 2022. This week, we honor Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac who died October 4, 2022.

Homelessness has been an issue in Fort Myers and Lee County long before Hurricane Ian laid waste to our area. The Lee County Department of Human and Veteran Services is now reaching out to share resources with the countless families newly without a home due to the storm.

Affordable housing is an issue that has only been exacerbated since Hurricane Ian. To bring awareness to the alarming situation, the Lee County Homeless Coalition is hosting its 26th annual Candlelight Vigil this Wednesday evening in Downton Fort Myers.

By November 30, Lee County had collected nearly 4 million cubic yards of debris since Ian made landfall in late September, a record amount for any hurricane in the United States, but particularly here in Southwest Florida. It's possible that debris collection in Lee County will total 10 million cubic yards.

The Song of the Day for November 4 is "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash. It's the only Song of the Day that has been used for a window-cleaner commercial.
