Grand opening coming soon (as soon as I figure out how to draw
and upload balloon animals).

True Story:  True Stories R Us was closed this week as it prepares for
an inventory overstock sale.  Seems that the buyers went wild over the past
several years in anticipation that the current administration would become
regular customers.  I guess Halliburton got that gig, too (breaks my Republican
heart to have typed that one).

Fun Fact:  if you Google Halliburton, you get spellings with both one L and Two
LL variations.  Never much payed attention to it before; I went with the New
Yorker spelling.  My apologies to Mr. Cheney if I chose the wrong one (I already
have a big enough HS file, thank you very much).

the program for 24 September, 2005

Didn't  make a copy of the playlist this week...will reconstruct from memory.
Now, what was it I was going to do???

Chapter One:  What with all the bad stuff going on these days, thought it best
to open with an affirmation...

Darrel Scott/It's A Great Day to Be Alive/Aloha from Nashville

Chapter Two:  Draw (or paint) your own conclusions on this set...Submit to me; I
like to look at pictures

Tim O'Brien/Moses/Cornbread Nation
Cary Swinney/Bigshots/Big Shots
Eliza Gilkyson/Man of God/Paradise Hotel
Peter Mulvey/29 Cent Head/Kitchen Radio

Chapter Three:  I forgot one of the tracks in this two track set...Musta been
something I grabbed from the station files...

Wildfire/Ballad of Forty Dollars/Rattle of the Chains
(still haven't gotten around to listening this...but it's almost impossible to
go wrong with a Tom T. Hall song)

Chapter Four:

Radio Special:  No Direction Home (Part One)

Chapter Five???  (there may have been another short set here...)

Chapter Five-A:  Can't think of a better gift to give to a music lover...

Joel Mabus/Swanee/Parlor Guitar
Joel Mabus/Sobre Las Olas/Parlor Guitar

I believe it was here that I attempted to play an interesting-looking oud disc
from the KWVA stacks...thrice detracked on one player; twice on another.  Pulled
it and, upon further review (sorry, football season, you know) discovered a
crack (well beyond hairline fracture quality) running nearly the radius of the
disc.

Chapter Six:  Your Comment Here_______________

Bobo Stenson+Anders Jormin+Paul Motian/Sudan/Goodbye
(the classic ECM sound...the handoff host and I had a great off-air conversation
about contrasts between Windham Hill and ECM discs)
Charlie Haden+Jan Garbarek+Egberto Gismonti/Bodas De Prata/Folk Songs
(a classic from the ECM collection)
