Desolation Angel Radio - December 4th 20203 - Pt 2
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
Tuesday Dec 05, 2023
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).

Desolation Angel Radio Oct 25th 2023 - KerryKate Abel and Hoarding Hope
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
Thursday Oct 26, 2023
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.

Desolation Angel Radio - Oct2023 Breakfast Club Comstock 75 edition
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
Thursday Oct 12, 2023
This episode of the podcast finds another meeting of the Breakfast Club. Diane Parker LaPiana, Tom Bennett, Steve Schultz and myself got together last week. The conversation ranged, and got pretty in depth, as we talked about life, love, loss,, a gathering that took place lately. and everything else. Those 3 picked the bulk of the music. In the back half of the episode, you're going to find a world premiere. After 7 years of not writing and not performing, I put together a spoken word piece and it's in here. (Comstock folks, and my present day Heron crew don't know that I wrote and performed regularly when I lived in New Orleans) and I picked the back half of the music, (there's even a tune specifically dedicated to Diane, Mary, Lola, Laurie, Gayle, all of you, that whole bunch) and if you listen real close, there's a story and a message in that set.

This episode goes into a category of music I love. Music I discovered, listened to, musicians I got to know when I lived in New Orleans. An entire show of music, that unless you live there, that unless you dive deep into that style of music, probably haven't heard. It will be next week before we have a meeting of the Comstock Breakfast Club 75 (and there's information in this one about Lola's service on Friday the 29th and how to see it or listen to it and information on helping her family out), and it will be a couple of weeks before I do a wrap up show for the Heron 2023 season, so we're still doing music that I love and listen to, and is part of the fabric of my life.

Desolation Angel Radio - August 15th, 2023 - Just music
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
Tuesday Aug 15, 2023
This episode of the podcast calls itself "just music", but that's probably an understatement. In recognition of 30,000 listeners, of being both national and international, it's a thank you from me to you. A throwback to when it started 13 years ago, and all music, the music I listen to everyday, loud, my tunes, the things that get me through a day, so there's of course Lucero, both starting it and closing it, and Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson (always those 3) and Chris Stapleton, Ryan Bingham, Beth Hart, Lucinda Williams, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Reckless Kelly, Lincoln Durham, The Revivalists, The Record Company, Social Distortion and originals like Steve Earle, John Mellencamp and Bruce sneaking in and dueting with a couple of people. The Gaslight Anthem, Allison Russell, Elle King, Ashley McBryde. The music that built this podcast, and is the soundtrack of my life. For anyone who knows me, yup, the songs are picked on purpose because each of them holds a piece of me, and if you put the pieces together, there's a very true narrative in them.
Enjoy, and Thank You, all of you, Thank Y'all. . so much
