Episode 413

The unfortunate reality is that sometimes, artists hang out in the Holding Tanks for a good long while–too long, in fact–waiting for me to get around to putting them into an episode. So this time out my goal is to try to clear out some long-lingering music and give these folks their due. Quite a mix of styles here, including an excursion to the border of smooth jazz, and in the back half I’ll treat you to two long drifts.

Even on my best days here I’m just making it up as I go, trying to find the way one piece rolls into the next to keep you immersed in the sound. So let’s do that again. Let’s see if I guessed correctly. Quick stop at the midway point to say hi.

Episode 409

This one’s kinda sorta not really got a theme. I won’t mention it here, so as not to spoil the oh-so-clever opening bit. (Were you around when oh-so-clever opening bits were much more of a thing here? Say hi in the comments if you were!) Away we go.

This time through, it’s just new music. I’m having some of the chairs in the library reupholstered and the place is a mess. We’ll stay in the main lounge. The beverage cart will be along shortly.

Episode 407

I’ve been thinking that I should start titling my shows like some other more popular podcasts do. Like, ones that tie into a theme such as “Silent Messages of a Distant Past” or “The Space Between the Dark Stars.” Let’s try it, okay? Here’s this week’s program, “Good Music That I Feel at Least Reasonably Sure You’re Going to Enjoy.”
Yeah, I’m not good at that.

Settle in. I want to tell you a story….a mystery, really, about The Albums That Went Missing. Oh, it’ll mystify you and maybe bring a chill to your soul, but in the end it turns into 90 really good minutes of music. Ready to hear the tale?
