Desolation Angel Radio

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. 
Enjoy, Kip

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

Again, thank you

This episode of the podcast sees me checking in with the Comstock Breakfast Club 75 edition. Steve Schultz, Jill Baskerville, Gina Thomas (Hammond) and John Stanaszek makes it in at the beginning to say Hi before having to attend to things he had going on that evening. Musically, it's a set of absolute masters. Artists that were relevant then, and still relevant and putting out new creative works now. Sit back, enjoy and listen. Once again, old friends that are a lot more than old friends, as we talk about some pretty deep relevant things.

This episode of Desolation Angel Radio takes me to an interview with Gregory Haley, an old friend, who's just published a novel, Stranger In The Valley. It's a good conversation about the book, where it came from, and some of the ideas and complex interwoven stories in the narrative, and an enjoyable conversation between old friends.
The music this episode is selected with a definite end in mind, every cut, every piece has a connection to a literary piece or pieces, and there's a definite prize for the person, or group that can figure that puzzle out.

This episode of the podcast is music, pure and simple. New music, new cuts, new releases and cuts from upcoming albums being released over the next 2 months. The music I listen to loud that makes me smile, and makes my heart sing. Great Blue Heron was last weekend, and it's another week before the Comstock Breakfast Club 75 meets, so it's a chance for me to go back to my roots, to where the podcast began, and just play music that I like and you probably will too. Turn it up. Loud.

A couple of weeks ago, Diane Parker LaPiana, Mary Knecht (O'Leary), Tom Bennett, Jill Baskerville and myself got together for one of our monthly Comstock 75 Breakfast Club meetings. We went on a bit. I've edited down over 2 1/2 hours of conversation between the 5 of us (yes, we can talk) to about an hour and surrounded it on either side with some great summer music from back in the day picked by all of us. It is, when you listen, a lot more than old friends just catching up and talking about what happens. It's the sound of connection, and friendship and decades of lives. Anymore, when it all comes down to it, that's what really counts. So turn it on, stream it, enjoy and we'll get together again real soon
