Halloween Blues 2012!

Join us this week as Time for the Blues (10/28/12) drags out the scariest blues songs we can find! Even if they're not THAT scary, you can always turn off the lights and do that flashlight thing under your chin for effect!

Every kid loves Halloween. And you’ve never met two bigger kids than Henry Cook and Professor Johnny Porter. We love just about everything about Halloween, costumes, parties, and especially candy. Except candy corn. For some reason, Henry absolutely HATES candy corn.

There's More to the Picture than Meets the Eye

Yes, that's a quote from the great Neil Young, from "Hey, Hey, My, My," but sadly Neil won't be featured on this week's World Music Show (10/20). But I like to think that Neil's words sort of encapsulate the drift of the World Music Show.

Here's an example.

There's More to Babalu

Once in a while, we owe it to ourselves, to those of us who appreciate the history of music, to take a look back to what has come before. On this week's World Music Show (10/13), we'll do just that--briefly. Then we'll forged ahead to music of today.

Soundtracks! More Muddy Waters' London Sessions!

Join us this week on Time for the Blues (10/7/12) as John and I sample great blues from movie soundtracks! The film Cadillac Records depicts the story of Chess Records and we'll have some killer tracks from it! We'll also hear more from Muddy's London sessions from 1972!

Muy Fuerte Musica

Welcome to Short Attention Span Theater (I know I lifted that lead but it's ok--it was out of love.) In this time of multiple bombardments from a myriad of sources, I completely understand that my opportunity to grab the attention of your eyeballs -- or ear drums, since it's radio after all, for even a few moments--is precious. So, that's why on this week's World Music Show (10/6), I'll be playing some loud (Fuerte), rock-us (is that even a word?) music. All in an effort to keep you focused on the great music that surrounds us on this fine planet.

One World, Many Cultures

Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen this fine blue planet from space? Unless you're an astronaut, then like me, you've only seen the world via pictures. And although those pictures are glorious, do they do justice to just how small this place really is? Maybe. And with that perspective, when your eyeing the globe like this, do you ever think "Man, there are so many different and unique cultres down there"? I do, and on this week's World Music Show (9/29), we'll try to cram in as many of these cultures as we can within a two-hour time frame.

Will we succeed?
