Back on the Microphone Again

Another Wednesday night show coming up, and I’m still learning the ropes in the studio. I can’t be deterred, though, because I’ve got platters to spin.

On the New Music segment starting at 9 pm, I’ll introduce four talented bluegrass musician women who formed a band called Big Richard. Big Richard? Good heavens, their song takes apart the “Millionaire” class, and no one in current power is spared.

Also on the New Music playlist is Willie Nelson’s recently released song, “The Border,” that shines a searchlight at illegal immigrants attempting to cross the southern border. This music is coming from middle America, y’all!

One hour later, Grandpa’s Vault reminds me of a 1977 concert at the old Miami Baseball Stadium where Pink Floyd unveiled its Roger Waters-influenced album, “Animals,” in South Florida. A phalanx of Miami police stood outside in formation grimacing at the huge pink pig flying overhead; fortunately, the gendarmes’ commanders had enough sense not to harass the appreciative crowd inside. The tracks of that album are super-long, so none of them don’t get played much these days. Nevertheless, leave it to me to change that.

In addition, I have Bev Conklin’s version of Aretha Franklin’s “Chain of Fools” that’s so impressive you might not want it to end.

That’s just a sampling of the “Organized Chaos” scheduled for Wednesday night, May 13th, on kafmcommunityradio.org from 9 pm Mountain Daylight Time to midnight. Add or subtract those hours depending on your particular time zone. (It starts at 11 pm on the East Coast, and at 8 pm on the West Coast.)

Once again, it’s time to straighten up and fly right? Nah, Mason from Miami is gonna fly his 83-year-old freak flag for three more hours. See you there!
