Episode 467

Bust out those dancin’ shoes because this one kicks off firmly in the funk space. We’ll all settle down a bit after that and glide into a pretty mellow ride. I must have been feeling contemplative or something.

I’ve got a bunch of piano tracks I need to hand out, and then we’ll explore some other spaces. Gets a bit droney for a while, but I’ll bring you back up by the end. No stops, just goodness. Enjoy.

Episode 463

A spacey start brings us in time to New Age Valley and the border of Jazzville (actually kind of the corner of Jazzville and Classicaltown) before heading back into some deep realms. The end of the voyage glides back into a contemporary instrumental zone and a bit of piano for a quiet landing. Have fun.

Episode 462

Back in the 160’s I did an episode where I gave artists I’d only played once a chance to be heard again. Now, through the miracle of science and the power of random number generation, we’re doing it again. A second chance for the second chance show! Enjoy the mix.

Episode 461

Your enjoyment of the music time shall be undisturbed by your host insisting on speaking with you mid-flow. No, you’re on your own as this wends through drifty spots, familiar names and sounds, some grungy guitar, and…one of those.

Episode 458

Settle in for a non-stop 90. It’s a bit all over the place, though mostly pretty sedate. I think you’ll probably be okay with it.

Episode 456

A non-stop swim through the goodness that is the Holding Tanks. Starting and ending with a couple fairly long ones.

Episode 452

I quite enjoyed digging around in the library in the previous episode, so I’ve decided to ride that train a little longer here. Eighteen luscious tracks, aided and abetted by the shuffle (but mindfully, mind you!). And you never know…there just might be one of those. Yeah, one. Sure. That’s what I meant.

Episode 450

Call it a landmark without fanfare. Instead, just another 90 minutes of dang fine music, including an unplanned “Ladies of the Piano” section. The flow dictates the show…
