Local Spins on WYCE is a 1-hour exploration of the best music from the Grand Rapids area and West Michigan. The program often debuts new songs by seasoned artists as well as emerging acts who merit attention and broader exposure.

The show is hosted by John "SINK-uh-vitch" from LocalSpins.com, the website covering West Michigan's music scene. Each week, John invites local artists into the studio for live music and conversation.

Today's day sponsorship is from the friends and family of Ron Van Portfleet:

Today, we celebrate the life of Ron VanPortflieet on what would be his 68th birthday with a poem by Robert Frost:

"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Nature's first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf's a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief.

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.

Happy Birthday, Dad. Love always, Derrick, Emily, Jay and Kelly.
