Desolation Angel Radio - Feb. 7th, 2024 - Comstock Breakfast Club 75
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Monday Feb 19, 2024
This episode of the podcast finds me, Diana, and Mary talking about some very heartfelt, intense and personal "stuff", with some good observations about roots, and small town, hometown roots and bonds and working to keep those vibrant, and today and how they help get through things. The music? It's all based on Fast Car by Tracy Chapman, which we'd all heard performed at the Grammy's 3 nights before, and it took off from there with everyone contributing songs that still have impact after all this time. Selections from me, Diana, Mary and from Gina, Steve, Tom, Karen, Paula, the whole bunch chipped in. Tune in for a couple of hours, it's what long term friendship and support sound like, and I couldn't be a luckier human being.

Desplation Angel Radio Feb. 3rd, 2024 - Heron Early Bird Blind Faith ticket sales
Saturday Feb 03, 2024
Saturday Feb 03, 2024
This episode finds Payge Olson and I talking about the ticket sales for this year's Heron, July 5th, 6th, and 7th and how people can get the lowest ticket price of the season by purchasing now on blind faith without knowing the lineup, but just knowing they're going to be there, the mechanics of that, and the routes to the ticket site, and some conversation around what volunteering looks like this year. No lineup announcement yet, and there aren't any cryptic clues in the music surrounding the conversation, just music that sounds good, and that myself and Payge like.
