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.

Listening Lyrics Apr 4th, 2014 with THE SPOKES

ALERT - ALERT ---This was my first live radio broadcast from the TV studio and we had some audio issues - Start listening at the 6:25 mark of the audio. The music comes through very well after that the interview part is a little low on volumn - I do apologize.

Still it was a great show ( THE SPOKES were awesome) wraped up by a wonderful performance by Uncle Peter.

A short YouTube video of both performances https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ue3TVaUB9U&feature=youtu.be

Listening Lyrics - Mar 14th, 2014 with ROBERT KENNEDY

Robert Kennedy is a drummer supreme. Lives in Davis and shared with us a story about his cat. Robert introduced us some of his music favorites. So be prepared to hear some fine jazz along some fine banter.

Robert has also started drawing so that tells all of us he lives in the right side of his brain. This was a fun hour

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.

the October 3rd show was way too short. What a mellow and superbly classy hour that just blew by. Thanks!
