Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and today because I had to adapt to certain electronic situations that swirled out of my control this show is about happy accidents, finding songs I didn’t know I had, buried deep in the external hard drive

Accidents
by Marcia Popp
i broke a vase at my great-grandfather's house when i was five here come sit on my lap
he said don't feel bad about that vase i didn't like it anyway you helped me get rid of it
I knew better but let him comfort me while i felt secretly bad inside did you know that my
own mother said i was her worst boy no i said that can't be true oh yes he said and she was
right i made accidents happen all the time i didn't really mean to do bad things they just
came upon me when i wasn't paying attention when i was five my brother and i chased the
goose in the barnyard until it fell over dead we propped her up in the fence so she would
appear to be interested in the grass on the other side
what happened my father noticed

Lara Downes will be presenting her recent project for solo piano, 13 Ways of Looking At the Goldberg this weekend at the Vanderhoef Studio Theatre at the Mondavi Center on the U.C. Davis campus. She will play 13 recent compositions by various composers that are twenty first century variations on the iconic Goldberg aria, which Bach composed for use by his student Goldberg to help a wealthy patron get to sleep. The aria is a beautiful, lyrical theme on which Bach composed 30 variations. For those interested in finding out more as a preview for her concert (or simply for their own edification), listen to Dr. Paul's Classics show of Oct. 25. During the second half of this show, Paul and Lara Downes converse about this project, and about other upcoming events. Some tracks are played from her album. In the two subsequent shows, also during the second half, more tracks are sampled. Please go to mondaviarts.org for more information and/or for tickets. It should be a fabulous show.

It’s the one-year anniversary of Jazz After Dark on 95.7 FM KDRT! Since the first show aired on October 26 2010 I have played 757 songs. Thanks to my increasing mania for collecting jazz, I’ve only repeated a couple of dozen pieces in that time. So tonight’s show features some ‘greatest hits’ from the past year.

The lineup: Erskine Hawkins Artie Shaw Dave Brubeck Tony Bennett

Yes, that's right, Lara Downes, artist in residence at the Mondavi Center and pianist extraordinaire will be interviewed on my show this week (Oct. 25) on Dr. Paul's Classics at 2:00 p.m. Tune in to find out more about this talented woman. And, as usual, there will be more of my favorite classical music selections for your listening pleasure.

Bankruptcy Hearing
By Dana Bisignani

They have us corralled
in the basement of the courthouse.
One desk and a row of folding chairs—
just like first grade, our desks facing Teacher
in neat little rows.

Upstairs,
wooden benches like pews and red
carpet reserved for those who’ve held out
the longest. No creditors have come to claim us
today. We’re small-time.

This guy from the graveyard shift
stares at his steel-toed boots, nervous hands
in his lap. None of us look each other
in the eye. We steal quick looks—how did you
get here. . .

chemo bills, a gambling addiction,
a summer spent unemployed and too many
cash advances to pay the rent.
We examine the pipes that hang
from the ceiling, the scratched tiles on the floor,
