This first episode of Desolation Angel Radio for 2024 finds me in a conversation with Diane Parker (LaPiana) and Mary Knecht, both long term friends from back in Comstock days. (Seriously, watch Dazed and Confused, that was our lives). There's a few tunes in there this episode that are inspired by last night being 12th night and the start of Carnival/Mardi Gras season down in New Orleans. Enjoy the conversation, everyone is welcome.

This episode of the podcast finds me interviewing someone who I have an over 50 year history with. A former teacher and coach of mine in high school, and always a mentor, Coach Jack Runchey. It's his birthday today, and he has a book coming out, publication date Jan. 5th, called Asparagus! Robbie's Quest to Make The Team, and from the interview, what sounds like a fascinating book. We go all over the map in the interview, not just the book, but going back to Comstock, memories, other people we both know, catching one another up on our lives in just about every aspect. Plus there's music that's Michigan-centric, and tied to those eras. Enjoy and hour and half with us, and listen, stream or download.

This episode is literally heartwarming. A meeting of the Comstock Breakfast Club '75, the last one before Christmas, and the connection is obvious. John led a discussion asking everyone what their favorite Christmas memories of Kalamazoo and Comstock were. There's family memories, neighborhood memories, and so much laughter and love. John Stanaszek, Tom Bennett, Diane Parker LaPiana, Steve Schultz, Jill Baskerville and Mary Knecht (O'Leary) and myself spent an hour plus laughing, and smiling and remembering. This is one of the last 2 episodes of the year. Listen, stream, download, and share the living hell out of it.

As promised, the second half of a 2 part episode. The music I listen to everday; at home, in my earbuds, in the truck. The soundtrack of my life and what I enjoy, really like, listening to. A good way to wrap up the year waiting for the 2023 Comstock Breakfast Club 75 wrapup episode (we're meeting tomorrow) and the 2023 Heron wrap-up episode (The holiday party is this weekend, and trust me, I'll get some things from everyone and do a final episode for that one for the year, too!)

This episode is simple, all music. It's a Part 1 of 20plus artists I listen to daily, that provide the soundtrack to my life, and gives you a peek into my brain and what I consider the music and artists I relate to best and gives me a sonic diary. Enjoy. Pt. 2 coming this week.

This one's a special one. On top of being Thanksgiving weekend, and right after my birthday, for the first time in a year, you get to actually find out who picks out what music and why they do. I have Diane Parker, John Stanaszek, Steve Schultz, Gina Hammond all talk about what they're picking out and why. Tom Bennett send one in with why he wanted it as did Jill Baskerville. It's a first, because up until now, I've never said who picked what out and why, and the conversation took a pretty intimate, profound turn as people revealed things about themselves. As well, being this close to Thanksgiving and my birthday, I find myself talking about some pretty personal things. Tune in, and give it a listen. I think you'll find yourself knowing us better. (And any Comstock person, this is for you to listen to, there's a message for all y'all in there too).

This episode of the podcast catches up in the first hour with KerryKate Able, a good friend, and a great singer and performer who wrote, directed, produced and debuted a brand new important work here in Buffalo, Hoarding Hope (and can also be caught in another production in town, and singing basically everywhere). It's an important powerful piece of work and a thoroughly delightful conversation. The music in the first hour is all about show tunes and Broadway musicals, and her and my love of them.
The second hour focuses on the the greatest rock and roll band in the world, The Rolling Stones, and Hackney Diamonds, the newest album and yes, they're still putting out great music with some incredible collaborations, and my own other tastes in music and goes into blues, jazz, r & b, and the other niches you may not know that I love and listen to everyday along with the gritty r & b and country tinged rock that everyone knows I love.
