Here are some highlights of today's show:

Robert Bonfiglio plays classical harmonica.  That's right -- classical harmonica.  KXJZ's Paul Conley introduces us to Bonfiglio prior to his appearances in the area.  That's at 6:33 and 8:33.

On the seventh anniversary of nine eleven, NPR's Libby Lewis looks at the site where United Flight 93 went down. She examines the plans to memorialize the site with the mother of 20-year-old Deora Borza, who was a passenger on the flight.  We'll also have a report on the first major memorial that's being dedicated today at the Pentagon.  One hundred and eighty-four people died when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building. Those stories at 6:21 and 8:21.

GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin returned to Alaska yesterday where she was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.  Barack Obama fired back at his Republican rivals yesterday, after they accused him of sexism regarding a remark he made earlier this week.  More on the presidential and vice presidential campaigns at 5:10 and 7:10.

Thanks for listening.
