I love physical media. I’m thinking of CDs particularly. Although CD liner notes are not always accurate, if they are fairly comprehensive, they do go a long way toward helping me research the music, the musicians and stories on The Sound of Swing and to put them in a broader context. There may be something that catches my attention in those details or in a song itself and I’ll head to my internet browser to get more details.
Tom Schneider is the principal bassoonist of the Richmond Symphony. This weekend (11/16), he performs the Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra by Peter Schickele as part of the Symphony’s Metro Collection series.
On this week's World Music Show (11/15), it's all about the Funk, Roll and Grooves. From Spanish alternative music, to electronic tango music to Tuvan throat singing, I think this week's World Music will run the gamut of sounds and genres. So, if you're game, then check out this snippet of what's to come.
Henry and I hope that you’ll join us this weekend (11/15/14) on Time for the Blues because this is one of those shows that people are going to be talking about for a long time. And we mean in a good way, not the way that people usually talk about us. Relax, kick back, and turn the volume way up (Henry says make sure your dial goes up to 11) and you just might find out we’re a great way to end a Saturday night!
Make sure you join us this week (11/8/14) on Time for the Blues as Henry Cook and I are pulling out all the stops for the last couple of months of 2014. Every song is a killer and you won’t want to miss a single one!
If I were one to use all caps, in order to prove a point--as in trying to shout about this week's World Music Show (11/8), then the entire text would in essence be all caps and look like I was yelling. But, luckily for you, I don't need to scream or get in your face about this week's show. I don't even need to use exclamtion points. Because the music selected for the two hours, will simultaneously be in your face, while at the same time, not over power you to turn the chanel.
