This morning we debuted a new track, "Clock Winds Down," from Christy Moore's forthcoming album Flying Into Mystery. It's a dystopian take on the effects of climate change as penned by Seattle songwriter Jim Page. Also on today's show: a beautiful, new rendition of Kate McGarrigle's "Talk To Me Of Mendocino" from Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan, as well as new tracks from Dublin's Irish/Americana group I Draw Slow, Glasgow's Assynt, Nashville-based fiddler/realtor Christian Sedelmeyer, and San Francisco-based Noctamble. And much more!

Today on Listening Lyrics (Oct. 22) we have incredible stories of guitars that were lost or stolen for up to 45 years, and were then returned to their owners. These four stories involve Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Peter Frampton (Humble Pie), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), and Randy Bachman ( Guess Who).

The photo shows Frampton and his guitar that was destroyed in a plane crash (or so he thought), and was returned to him 30 years later.

In summer 1788, geologist James Hutton sailed along the coast south of Edinburgh to Siccar Point, where outcropings of vertically-tilted gray slate were (and still are) overlain by nearly flat-lying red sandstone. A product of the Scottish Enlightment, Hutton correctly reasoned that it would be impossible to explain what he observed in the context of an Earth that was -- as then believed -- only 6,000 years old.

Hutton is considered the father of modern geology, and the first who proposed the concept of "deep time." On their new album, Karine Polwart and Dave Milligan tell the story of Siccar Point much more elegantly. Also on today's show, new music from Jason Isbell, Two Bird Stone, Adam Holmes, Martyn Joseph, Geoff Muldaur, and Norman Blake.

For Halloween this year, we have a return visit with the imaginatively named Lord Blood-Rah, host of Lord Blood-Rah’s Nerve-Wrackin’ Theatre on TV and Nerve-Wrackin’ Auditorium on radio. They're available in Davis on DCTV (channel 15 on Comcast, menu 99 on ATT U-Verse) or KDRT. Our guest, whose real name is Frank Wallace-Ailsworth, is a science-fiction/horror-show host in the tradition of Bob Wilkins and Elvira.

We talk about ... well, pretty much what you'd expect, such as classic radio, and movies from good to bad to charmingly stupid, plus what's in the “Venusian cocktail” created for one of his in-person showings at a movie palace in Orinda, and why anyone would watch a film like My Son, the Vampire. The story concerns a would-be vampire and his misguided robot. October is high season for stuff like this.
