11/25 in a nutshell…
Hour 1: Flat seat-of-the-pants wingin’ it, including a couple of surprise discoveries in toaster Prince Jazzbo chatting ‘pon a great old Studio 1 early-rocksteady-just-emerging-from-ska riddim I wasn’t previously aware of, and Mungo’s Hi-Fi with Belly Ska Dub featuring a certain MC Ishu. Also busting it on-the-fly was Sherwood B. Funn, who stopped, goed, mamboed, forgot about Shiina Ringo’s birthday (so we’re mentioning it here; happy 32!), and generally carried on for an hour, Hour 2 to be specific. The 4@4 was strictly for the birds, including three Doctors and a Black Swan, and Lolli Popp had the week off. Also, Gina Gina takes skiing lessons… whoooosh!
Tonight we feature the voices part of Northern Voices. Rosenbergs 7, Kongero, Tiriltunga, the Real Group, Røyst, Amanda and the Rilke Ensemble offer a program from classical to folk with classic jazz/swing and modern improv on folk themes. To this we add some harmonica and a bit of live diatonic accordion, finishing off with a Thanksgiving thank you with solid old-time tunes from former program host Helge Lamo.
Pre-Thanksgiving, get out of town soundtrack. I’d like to let you know that I’m thankful to all you listeners who have been listening to my shows thru the years. Your support is greatly appreciated.
