Peter and the Wolf on Sounds So Sweet

The story of Journey (or less romantically - OR7) the gray wolf who traveled 1000 miles looking for love and becoming the first gray wolf in California in 88 years must have insired Dr. Paul to include Prokofiev's masterpiece in his Tuesday show. It has also inspired me to play a version of Peter and the Wolf - by Dave Van Ronk and the Kazoo-O-Phonic Jug Band.

New Day, New Time New Show

Sounds So Sweet is moving to a different day and time. I'm taking over Friday Nights with 2 (count 'em - 2) music shows. Sounds So Sweet will air live at 9:00 PM Friday night fillin' the air with the sweet sounds of jug band music. Of course if you just can't adjust it will still repeat Sunday at 5:00 PM.

But if you've ever wondered if I listen to anything other than jug band music you can find out at 8:30 PM Friday nights as I debut Outta Style - a quick half hour glimpse into the rest of my musical mind. Check it all out!

See you Friday Night!

Outta Style - outta my mind

I've often wanted to play some of the other stuff I enjoy. I think, "I could do a Blues show." Or, "I could do a Bluegrass show." Or "I'd like to play some of the old odd stuff I have that doesn't fit the jug band format." Or "Gosh, I wish I could play some of my Americana or psychedelic stuff." Or..... How about a show maybe called Out of Style where I can play some of whatever I want. A quick half-hour glimpse into my musical mind. I wanted to call it "Wayne's World" but I think that's been taken.

It's just that most music that appeals to me is out of style and I want to be able to not be limited to any one style. I'm likely to play something from the twenties next to a recent release,
an old country hoedown followed by Pharoah Sanders, or a whole show of electric blues, or all vinyl, or just whatever I pick up off the floor.

Join me for a bit of musical mayhem.
