Listening Lyrics for May 23rd, 2014 with THE LURK

The LURK (AKA Nick Carvajal) joined us this week. Literally a one man band, he plays the drums, guitar, harmonica, and sings - many times most of those at the same time. Nick has and does perform in several band. This show he shares some of those bands and also we will listen to some of the music that has influenced his musical journey. The big surprise for me this show is the diversity of his music tastes. A refreshing journey into one mans music brain.

Listening Lyrics Apr 18th, 2014 with FEATHERWEIGHT

Featherweight is an American "rock" band based in Sacramento, CA. I put the word rock in quotes because these young musicians are more than rock. They have a unique capacity to create a rich sound around their writing capabilities. The vocals in their music are a rare gift that grab your ears. A fusion of sound that has earned them the respect in the music scene in Northern California.

What can I say; I LOVED THIS SHOW!

Additionally, I'll let you in on a secret, this was the first time that I listened to, not one, but two complete Rap songs -- and enjoyed them. :)

Loved the show and thoroughly enjoyed Cory. Tell him what Michael J Fox once said; "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business."  He was excellent.
