What music have you got going on right now? For me, live streaming WNKU, listening to a great blues show. :cool:

Bry, how come you never told us how great this radio station is?

Oh but I have! Great, great station! It's been around awhile, but only in the last two years has the programming become so excellent. Good variety for ecclectic listners like us. One of my favorites is Mr. Rythm Man on Friday evenings. He often plays great tunes that you will be familiar with, but played by some totally different artist. They play World Cafe a couple times of day & American Routes- my favorite syndicated show, Nick Spitzer's American Routes produced in Nola.

77 years young, CKUA rocks out with the Friday Night Blues Show -- have a listen. It's the first Friday of three fundraising weeks, so there's lots of chit chat, but the station still plays the very best of everything you won't hear on commercial radio. I love American Routes -- listen to it all the time!

Three weeks of fundraising, good God!
You're all invited to enjoy my "Big City Blues Cruise" on Sundays from 3-6 pm, Eastern. You can find it on the web at WEMU.org outside of Southeast Michigan. Plenty of straight up Chicago blues, a little zydeco, some brass bands and classic NOLA r&b thrown in for good measure.
You can enjoy the show fundraiser free this Sunday as we finish fundraising tomorrow at 4 pm, which is the time we run "American Routes," usually. Being a University station we occassionally pre-empt for sports during footsball season.:cool:

10-21-2006, 01:47 PM

Hey Blitzzz, I will dial in as I am usually doing something on the PC Sunday afternoons and often dial up a live broadcast for a little music. And yes, three weeks fundraising to raise $500K -- and they do it twice a year for a total of 6 weeks each year. Some listeners complain, but I have to give the announcers their due, it's never dull -- they pull out all the stops to keep it entertaining. University radio rocks!

Blitzzzzz

10-21-2006, 07:27 PM

I hope you enjoy it VWG, let me know?
That's a mighty big budget, I'm guessing the don't get any money from the University. We do 9 days twice a year and if the return is slow and "soft" month in July where we simply read two pitches an hour like underwriting. For now, Eastern Michigan University gives us room and power and 4 staff positions, but as bad as things are in Michigan, it's anyone's guess how long that will last.:cool:

Actually CKUA is quite a story -- it nearly went under in the late 90's from misappropriation of funds, the silence one morning prompted the formation of several "save our CKUA" chapters in the province, who rallied to raise the funds to reopen the station. The station was founded in 1927 by the University -- the U. gave up the station in 1945 to the provincial telephone company, who owned it for over twenty years, then repatriated to the provincial govt. It was spun off as a non-profit foundation about 15 years ago and is nearly wholly listener-supported. The provincial telco has morphed into Canada's second largest telco, TELUS, where I work. As part of my day job in 2001, I had the great privilege of dusting off and repatriating several dozen pieces of vintage radio equipment from one of our central offices to CKUA in recognition of their 75th birthday. The station itself is in a four story building in Edmonton -- the basement is full of those huge wax records and crates and crates of 78s. A library of over 100,000 items. Loads of vintage radio equipment, still being used today (to the hosts' chagrin). The first broadcasts almost eight decades ago were of classical performances in the fourth floor ballroom, the piano is still there and was tuned and played during the 75th birthday celebration when they recreated an original broadcast. The musical program was identical and performed live by some of Alberta's finest classical and jazz musicians, the guests all wore vintage clothes and it was all broadcast live. CKUA hosts are among my best musical pals -- one having a collection of 6,000 vinyl records -- and 10,000 CD's. He puts his show together at home each week. If you are ever up in these here parts, please be sure to let me know. I'd love to take you on the grand tour -- it's a treasure. I'll dial you up tomorrow Blitzzz, do you tape ahead or do it live? That is when you get time off from perv's row for good behaviour (Sorry, couldn't resist!)

Blitzzzzz

10-22-2006, 02:06 AM

Quite a story indeed. A tour would be a wonderful thing and I'd love to get up that way someday, if only I could keep myself from heading south to New Orleans every spring.
Usually, I just wander through the stacks for a few minutes before my show, check the birthday list, toss something in the cd player and I'm off. Some of my compatriots are great planners with all sorts of research involved. Me, I've always been an improviser, I guess it's the difference between being a Dj and being a "Program Host." More fun this way living in the last 30 seconds of the groove and you'll can always tell it's live when the occassional crash occurs!:cool:

Sounding good Blitzzzz -- you have an incredible bio and a great voice. Good to hear you are involved in the local music scene, I think it's important to keep the home fires burning and support local artists. Listening to Otis Rush -- sounds like a pretty big band behind him. It looks like you came to love radio early on, I used to listen to a late night guy named Lee Major (not the bionic guy) on our national broadcaster CBC who played jazz, soul and blues from midnight to 3 am. I would put the transistor radio under the covers and listen with an earpiece into the wee wee hours. Occasionally I'd move the wrong way and pull out the earpiece plug -- the huge noise used to wake my dad who could not figure out what was so compelling his daughter to listen to "that stuff" all night long!

"The Pretty Things were a five-man symbol of Britain's moral decay. If the Rolling Stones were famously more dangerous than The Beatles, then the Pretty Things were looked upon as downright life-threatning."

Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars - Living Like a Refugee.

Please everyone, get this CD. Absolutely amazing. Just read from the liner notes........

" Forced from their homes in Sierra Leone by a brutal civil war (1991-2002), the band came together in a refugee camp to play music as a way to understand the tragedy they had suffered, the injustice they had witnessed and to give hope to their fellow refugees."

And their bio....

"Living Like A Refugee was recorded throughout the production of the "The Refugee All Stars" film, between August 2002 and October 2005. Each song is an original composition written during their years in exile and taken as a whole the album serves as a musical document of the band’s incredible journey. Featuring field recordings from the refugee camps in Guinea as well as studio efforts at Sam Jones’ Island Studios in Freetown, these 17 tracks tell the story of life in the camps (“Living Like A Refugee”). Facing hunger (“Bull To The Weak”), celebrating family on “Ya N'Digba,” a song for bandleader Reuben's mother, enduring the horrors of war (“Kele Mani,” “Weapon Conflict”) and of thanks (“Compliments For The Peace”), Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars are a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transcendent power of music.

While each of the stories in these songs is told from the band's personal experience, it is the special gift of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars that the messages they deliver are truly universal. Born in the midst of a violent, decade-long civil war, through music, they have found a place of refuge, a sense of purpose and a source of power. The band have seen the worst that this world can offer - yet, through their unflinching spirit and joyful music, they celebrate the best in all of us."

Festy Dave, if you could get this group for Congo Square.....well, just wow.

Hey Scoop...The Strawbs were one of the bands I enjoyed in secret years ago. Most of my friends hated prog rock, and hated the Strawbs, but I really liked their underlying folkiness. They were really a folk band that somehow got mixed up with the prog rock scene. I saw them about two years ago in a little church community hall here in Wilkes-Barre. PA. They were in amazingly good form.

ScoopJohnD

11-15-2006, 09:15 PM

Excellent Steeleye. I didn't mind prog rock back in the day, but now with a few exceptions I find it a tough listen. Strawbs however date well, probably because of English folk influence and they could turn it up and rock a bit when need be and everything they did was still a song, verse, chorus, bridge etc.

You might have seen them on the same tour I did. Went in with low expectations, and came out amazed.

Tonight reliving one of my favorite fest moments with Steve Winwood - About Time. They released it in an expanded dual disc with 3 live tracks 'Mr Fantasy', 'Why Can't We Live Together' and 'Voodoo Chile' and 3 live videos from Austin City Limits Fest and the Sonoma Jazz Festival. Wish it was that magical performance at the fest.

James Burton - The Guitar Sounds of James Burton. His first solo record from 1971 when he led Elvis' band. Recorded with said band I assume as the liner notes state it was recorded in a Nashville studio that the King had booked but he was sick and couldn't record, so they bashed this out instead.

Rubber Soul is up for me before bed. Stuck in the 60s, I guess.

YYR, Bream......It was a pleasure to see him at Fest (2003?) and even better at the Ponderosa Stomp that same year. the last time it was 3 night event. Him, Scotty Moore (Elvis' first guitarist), and Paul Burlison (guitarist for Johnny Burnette's R n R Trio). Three legends all on stage in one night (Throw in D.J. Fontana and Earl Palmer drumming) One night I'll NEVER forget, and why if it's a choice between the Stomp and just about ANYTHING I'd choose the Stomp

We received two compilations for gifts this year.

Next up is Tom Waits - Orphans, Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards. Another one of our all time favorite artists.

I still think it is just too cool that the two of them were a couple once.

In a similar vein to the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars but it's a documentary, may I recommend 'Amandla! A Revolution In Four Part Harmony' The description on the box sums it up well

"Amandla tells the story of black South African freedom music and the central role it played against apartheid. The first film to specifically consider the music that sustained and galvanized black South Africans for more that 40 years, Amandla's focus is on the struggle's spiritual dimension, as articulated and embodied in song. Named for the Xhosa word for "power", Amandla! lives up to it's title, telling an uplifting story of human courage, resolve and triumph."

Or more to the point this quote on the box from Lindiwe Zulu, a Freedom Fighter.........."Song is what keeps us alive."

It's a great movie.......rent it if you can.

I grew up on a farm in between Canandaigua and Honeoye lake, about 7 miles from town...Here's a picture I took in September of Canandaiga lake from the south end...about 17 miles from the City...near the Naples end.
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i193/Michelino/CanandaiguaLake.jpg

This is very near to a spot where a famous private party...last stand of real hippies...used to take place in the mid 70s....I saw John Mooney play there before he left for Louisisana (he had regular gigs around Canandaigua and Rochester for years). You should ask Jeff's relatives if they ever were at one of the "Cheshire Dump" Folk Festivals.

Washing dishes to Joe Ely - Twistin' In The Wind.

AARP already has me in their sights. And I haven't turned 50 yet (this year). But I'm gonna jump on every damn discount I can get. I gotta get some kind of payback for lasting this long.

I joined a year ago, on the big 50 and have to say they, like most companies, send out waaaay too much trash in the mail. The mag is just ok. Have any of yall gotten any benefits that are worthwhile? Want to make sure i'm not missing something.
Listening to some of my new music. johnny sketch and the dirty notes, bandicoot

Listening to another great recording that flew under the radar, Mason Ruffner's "Gypsy Blood." If rockabilly's your thing, this one's the bomb.

Ain't it great, mangoon! Discovery of someone new to you is always a trip. Listening to a new cd of Wardell Quezerque's music.

A guilty pleasure.....The Guess Who - Greatest Hits. 'These Eyes', 'American Woman', 'No Time', 'No Sugar Tonight'. I remember this stuff coming out of the radio like it's yesterday. Great songs and now I'll never get em out my head.

One of my faves of 06 and a big suprise since I didn't think he was even playing again.....

Jeremy Spencer - Precious Little For those who don't know the name, when Fleetwood Mac was a blues band Jeremy Spencer was one of the trio of brilliant guitar players in that band along with Peter Green, and Danny Kirwan.
Old Fleetwood Mac is amazing stuff.

Jake Shimabukuro - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

OMG - Isn't he incredible??! I met him at a "playshop" at the High Sierra Music Festival this past summer.

I also heard him live at the California WorldFest, here in my own backyard (in Grass Valley).

I would love to see him at Jazzfest, but I don't know that he's really the NOHJHF type of booking . . .

Well, isn't that a hoot? :D Scoop, the Guess Who are a guilty pleasure too. Can't beat em for driving music. I grew up 150 miles from Winnipeg (their home city) so the GW were the growing up soundtrack for us. I arrived in the city to go to college right about the time they split up. Randy Bachman had left town, so we had the pleasure of hearing Burton Cummings on piano back up a local jazz singer in a cheesy lounge called The Paddock. Burton's presence was not advertised, however, word spread and after one weekend, the lineup was a block long the next weekend. He was trying out his solo material, I am not sure whether it made an impression in the U.S., but it wound up being fairly big up here. Randy Bachman was influenced by jazz guitarist Lenny Breau, who also used to play at our college over lunch hour, about 200 people would show up, but none of us knew at the time what a legend Lenny was in certain circles. Good old Winnipeg was a hot bed in the day. Our own Ross Vegas is also a native Manitoban and we have fun reminiscing about the local bands of the day....

He played a late night show in NOLA during fest last year, I think. I didn't go to it, so am not remembering clearly. I agree he's not really a fairgrounds kind of show.

We saw him here at the Concert of Colors in Detroit last summer -- just amazing. :)
