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.

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.
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.
We were invited to be on a podcast by jl, who has a great show, Mugshots. We were proud to participate. Here is the show. Enjoy! Thanks Jl and all the great listeners. I had a great time. We look forward to working more of the many musicians who have responded already. You can tune into Mugshots yourself every week! Links to the show and schedule are posted on the right sidebar. Jl supports independent music for free, and we applaud his efforts. He is also a damn good musician.
Our last show played in the midst of a huge downpour, flooded streets, power outages, downed trees, but the studio stayed up all day and night. Unfortunately we were unable to play Shadowofnine's Hour of Music. We have rescheduled for next week. Shadowofnine puts great effort into his work. He sent a high quality file that we were unable to play with our current setup. We look forward to playing it properly next week. Its a great hour and we are proud to play it. I put a shout out to fellow musicians to post something they wanted aired. This was the result. This was something we had planned for a future show, but was thankful for the responses. It ended up a fun evening. I would like to thank fellow host Coral Reef, who in times of... what could be crisis remains calm and has been great training me as a new host.
Mostly we both want to thank Shadowofnine for his patience, and especially the musicians who posted songs as we asked for them, basically steering the majority of the show. Tadk and baphillipsiv from Icompositions. They came through as well as Vegetal and O who have been on before. We also played Teaksta and Mauro. I will be posting more links and the archive soon. From 6-7pm we played a Who Audio Documentary I will also post that here soon. We come in at 6pm and play other music related media every week prior to the show, so, tune in for the full two hours. 6-8pm
The video cast test worked but needs some work. A bit of hum and chat issues. But we were able to video the studio while we worked and hope to post some of that soon. Some folks from Icompositions are aiding me in this endeavor. I am very thankful to all of their help with our new show. We look forward to being guests on the cool podcast Wed the 14th at 5pm. Tune in! Peace Tim and Coral
People keep asking me about Blue who is on several of our pics in posts. He loves music and hangs our often on my guitar as I play. Blue is my compainion. Rescued at 1 or two days old, I have had him for 11 years. He sings and dances! Here is a short video of him. The music is my very first attempt to use Reason. My first attempt at making music without a real instrument. Ill stick to the guitar. It amazes me what others can do with such software. Blue at his new Pad
Christian Raphael just sent this out via e-mail to Coral. Were glad he passed it on. He did not ask us to post this. This we are proud to post and hope you take these words to heart. This is what part of what music and this show is about. He speaks of collaborating in a sense, as many of you do to make your music.
Good evening good people around the world. As a reminder, the purpose of Free Downloads of “Songs That Really Happened”™ is to spread positive vibes around the planet at ZERO cost to the listener. That’s right, NO COST to the listener. You will never be spammed.
This is a major 180-degree difference between what we are doing and what the major record labels are doing. We can do this for free because our overhead costs are next to nothing.
Just Imagine, if one itty bitty bit of a lyric from “Songs That Really Happened” ™ inspired someone to do something positive for someone else, and they caught the idea that it was GIVEN to them at zero cost, then slowly the over-all calibration of the human goodness quotient would rise, and we’d start a chain reaction of goodness that couldn’t be stopped. It's like people helping people helping people. Geeez, what a concept.
I am asking for your help—no I do not want money. What I want is for each of you to invite at least 10 people to join, and go out and download “Songs That Really Happened” ™. Tell them to invite at least 10 of their friends to do so too.
So far, “Songs That Really Happened” ™ have been downloaded in over 65 Countries around the world. Keep checking back on the home page of the group for new updates. The group has been running for about 6 months now.
Have a wonderful day friend, and go do something nice for a stranger (where I come from we call them a friend we’ve yet to meet). Free downloads can be had at http://www.christianraphael.com/freedownload.htm
