This next Tuesday we will be featuring the music of Mauro. He did a great job and sent in this graphic above as well as a many new songs I was happy to receive. He will also be a call in guest. We played two songs of Mauro's in past shows "Winds" and "Birds of Pray". We look forward to talking with him and exploring his music and his life in depth this Tuesday.

October 20th Show Archives

Tuesday October 20th show

I would like to thank Shadowofnine for giving us such a great hour of independent music. More info on Shadowofnine is in posts below. I seemed to be cursed each time I play this fine hour of music. We had a small hiccup during the first 5 min and had to switch CD players. Uncle D from The Cream to The Dregs called to assist and tell me all the in and outs and glitches of our many CD Players. I appreciated his help as a new host.

Posted in the archives is 6-7pm Twilight Hour where we introduced Feter McBlues, The Raging Grannies and local jazz group Barbra Lopez off the CD Play It Again.

Thank you JL from Mugshots for trying out our chat which we were testing last night. We had little time to respond but we appreciate him taking the time. Others were trying to chat and I appreciate that too.
The normal hour was brought to us by ShadowofNine and you can find this hour below. He produces a great podcast of independent musicians. I have it in his original format, mp4, and the MP3 from last night. All of these will be posted soon if you do not seem them all now.

The Pre show Twilight Hour is up. It includes Crissew - Bad day to stop Drinking, the entire interview from NPR 360 on Feter McBlues, 3 songs from Feter, Songs from the Raging Grannies and Barbra Lopez as well as the introduction to the regular show. Click here for show. You can right click and save this file as an mp3 or click to play.

The Shadow Hour - Click here - this is the untarnished hour he sent in, which I suggest for listening, it is what he presented to us. There is some really great music very well put together. I particularly liked a band that sounded like Yes. I am going to have to find out more about them. Will be posting an archive which includes our lead in and my tech problem in all its glory as broadcast! Missing is basically five minutes of music due to a glitch in a semi new/used CD Player that seems to hate me on some deep personal level. I am severing my relationship with that player. Archives will also appear under on the left sidebar when completed. I would like to thank Coral Reef my host, friend and the person who has been training me.

Peace All
Tim & Coral

Upcoming Show Tuesday Oct 20th

Tuesday 6-8pm

This week during the normal 7-8pm slot we will be channeling ShadowonNine as we had planned last week. ShadowofNine put together an entire hour of Independent Music for Free Radio Santa Cruz and our show. ShadowofNine is a musician, pod-caster, musical wizard and supporter of independent music who lives in British Columbia. Tune in and join us for this musical journey where he subtly answers the question we subtly posed "What is Music?" Tuesday 7-8pm!




Tune in early from 6-7 pm. Coral and I will be chatting about upcoming shows, playing a few songs from musicians to be featured soon as well as the Raging Grannies who Coral interviewed and recorded live in the studio early this week. Included was Jan Harwood.


Also Included will be Feter McBlues who is currently living in Syria as a refugee after having to leave his home in Baghdad during the war. Sometimes referred to as the Blues man of Baghdad. McBlues is a great Blues and Folk artist who has taken the time to chat with us from 8,000 miles away. He collaborates with musicians in the U.S and all over the world.

"In simple words -- I' m a Folk Blues musician from Iraq
( a refugee in Syria ) now ...I 'I've been collaborating
with American musicians. I did many professional
projects including two CDs with Ian Beardsley from ,Ca
http://mysite.verizon.net/res8ydyw/theraintroubadoures/index.html
beside many individual projects with other musicians."

He truly makes music that breaks down borders. McBlues is a Singer, songwriter, guitarist and mandolin player and just a fine human being. We look forward to doing a show on McBlues soon.

This first hour will be a great time for call in's. I hope to have some chat function up on the blog by showtime.

We are working on video as people have requested. This will happen thanks to lots of offered help from JL of Mugshots and Rich from Icomp, among many others. It will be a few weeks as I am leaving between the next two shows to head down south for family reasons.

I would like to thank Crissew, who we will also play during this first hour. Crissew put us in contact with Feter McBlues. Crissew is a musician and collaborator whom has done some collaborating with McBlues across many many borders.

So tune in 6-8pm. www.freakradio.org and locally at 101.1 FM.

Until then....
