Desolation Angel Radio April 15th 2023 - River Glen Interview
Saturday Apr 15, 2023
Saturday Apr 15, 2023
This episode of the Desolation Angel Radio podcast is centered around an interview I did earlier this week with River Glen, a musician I've known a long time, who has a new album dropping May 1st, As Above, So Below. An extensive, in-depth interview where we talk about the creative process of bringing this album to life, about where it comes from, and about the 170 plus musicians who are part of the album, many of whom are talked about by name, and the creative process behind some of the tracks, the thought, soul and heart that went into them, the musicianship and artistry, along with how to preorder the album, and the tour that's being put together to support the release. It's the entire first half of the show, the interview along with some tracks from the album.
The second half of the show, I do something I haven't done in a while, play a lot of music that I listen to, all of it new, some of it unreleased, as of yet, tracks from upcoming albums, and all of those cuts, all of those tracks carry some common things. They're songs of hope, (you'll have to listen to the whole show, and the interview and cuts from River's album to understand the tie-in), songs of collaboration and songwriting and musicianship.
Bottom line? This entire episode is centered around music, and what a critical part it plays in all of our lives. Enjoy

This episode of the podcast looks at volunteering at the Heron for the Great Blue Heron Music Festival. Conversations with Faith Graham, Kristy & Joe Blask, Domenic Rocco, Nicole White, myself, Jim Kaleta, Jen Raines and Payge Olson. Information on what each crew does, and why all these people volunteer, and have done so for so long, their reasons for it. Pretty cool people. Information from Jen on Lifeguarding being a paid position this year, and information from all of us on what crews still need volunteers and how to do it.
Music from Couch, Peter Rowan, Jim Donovan & The Sun King Warriors, Kaleta, Kevin Kinsella, Smilo & The Ghost and Donna the Buffalo. All in all, a couple of hours of festival, voices you know and information you need, and music, well worth the listen. Enjoy.

Desolation Angel Radio March 31st 2023 - CBC, a return
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
This episode is a return to what we've now started to call the Comstock Breakfast Club and we managed to get Mary Knecht and Teri Pelfresne in with the group. It's becoming pretty regular, even Gina and Paula called in from the road. There's music from everyone, as these episodes I let the group pick the music, so it's a pretty stellar setlist of music from the 70's you'll instantly recognize, a fun conversation where we talk a bit about everything, and in all of it, that sense of connection.
Enjoy

Desolation Angel Radio March 4th, 2023 - Comstock 75 Breakfast Club Pt. 3
Saturday Mar 04, 2023
Saturday Mar 04, 2023
This week's big episode. Another gathering of what's come to be called the Comstock 75 Breakfast Club. Some incredible, beautiful, wonderful human beings. John Stanaszek, Diane Parker, Tom Bennett, Gina Hammond, Steve Schultz and Paula Chase. An hour's worth of the much longer conversation we had, and the spirit of friendship and connection flows throughout it, proving that even after 50 years, we're all still friends. The music surrounding that conversation was all picked by them (go ahead, guess who picked which songs, except the last 3, I picked those), and it's great music from the 70's and 80's. For those of you from Comstock that haven't been part of this yet, don't worry, you'll have that chance. It's become a standing get-together, and we'll get you in. This one? It's special, you can hear the spirit of friendship and being there for one another throughout. Enjoy the listen.

This one's all music. We're in the Spring cycle now, one week Heron and the family and festival there, one week all Comstock 75 Breakfast Club, and one week all music. This is one of the all music ones (albeit, with quite a bit of information about the Heron, and about the next expanded edition of Comstock Breakfast Club) and as per normal with the all music ones, the music and the songs tell a part of my story, very accurately.
