Oh boy. Good words were said following my broadcast debut, so much so that I am approved for two more Wednesday night shows.
Nevertheless, I must settle down enough to remind everyone my first hour is filled with new music. Music has proven itself in the annals of world history to be constantly evolving. I love the old stuff that deservedly sees the light of day. But honorable intentions aside, the fervor of a new generation comprised of talented physically-fit musicians stir my wretched body.
And tonight, the moment is decreed. After 9 pm here (11 pm on the East Coast), I continue my exploration into “New Music.” For the time being, I favor “Americana,” because I can’t deny its instinctual expressions.
One hour later (midnight on the East Coast), Organized Chaos goes into overdrive once I open “Grandpa’s Vault.” That’s when the fun begins.
First off, I plan to make good on a gaffe from one of the station’s CD players. Janis Joplin’s “Ball and Chain” performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 was rudely interrupted. I owe you a repeat performance.
Next there’s a song I heard years ago by Jimi Hendrix called “Taking Care of No Business,” which depicts the life of a homeless person. Looking around cities nowadays, it sounds like he spoke from experience.
There’s also a duet from Bev Conklin and Wayne Smith on her CD “Glass Half Full.” It’s appropriate to honor their musical collaboration now in recognition of the blues concert on Black Saturday (the evening before Easter Sunday) at the Raven’s Nest in Pennsyltucky.
And what’s this? A little ditty by the Rainy Daze that seems not to be heard on radio anymore. Its title is “Acupulco Gold.” Remember?
There’s much more, so catch my show, same time, same station KAFMcommunityradio.org, 9 o’clock Mountain Time, 11 pm Eastern Time and I’ll send you Easterners off to dreamland just before 2 in the morning. That’s when Creator’s wild creatures lurk about.
Perhaps you will meet me there.
