This episode of the Desolation Angel Radio podcast, as I head into the 14th year with it, has everything, the whole nine yards, all of it and the kitchen sink. Everything. Heron folks, listen up In the first hour, you're going to hear Julie Rockcastle with a quick announcement about big happenings here at the end of January around the Great Blue Heron Music Festival, this summer. When the blind faith tickets are going on sale, when the volunteer apps will be out, the vendor apps, all of it, and sooner than you think (like within a week, right here at the end of January), and some music from Heron's past. Before that, you get to hear some of the new music I listen to that's been released this week, or within the last month. The second hour has an entire conversation, about an hour's worth of it, from John Stanaszek, Karen Sparks-Sperry, Diana Parker LaPiana, Mary Knect and Pat Fair Smith, and in that conversation you'll hear us talking about the 50th Reunion for the Comstock Class of '75 that's been set for this coming summer and some details around that. And as always, great music in between everything

Another one of my traditions. The last show of the year is always, as is this one, music that I listen to; at home, in the truck, at work, my own personal soundtrack of what gets me through the day, and is also a pretty good audio record of some great music in 2024. There's some thanks from me, and some notes about the Comstock 75 bunch, and what we can look forward to there, and what we can look forward to with shows about the Heron once we hit late Winter and early Spring, but this is really just all music to turn up and enjoy. Happy New Year! Y'all are awesome

Summer is over, and my schedule is slowing down some. Time to get caught up, and back up to speed. This episode captures a conversation back in July for the Comstock 75 Breakfast Club. Myself, Diane Parker, Mary Knecht (O'Leary), Steve Schultz, John Stanaszek and Deb Corbeil (Doud). It's pretty fascinating getting caught up. The music wanders from the normal format for a CBC meeting, I picked it for this one, due to some things that have happened in my life in the last couple of weeks. Enjoy. It's Fall, so it's all back on schedule.
