Celtic Songlines October 19th 2021

The Celts, as with other cultures, believe this time of year is when the veil between the world of the living and those who have passed is thinnest. This week on Celtic Songlines KDRT 95.7FM the playlist is reflective.

The world of traditional Irish music lost a giant this past week with the passing of Paddy Moloney. Closer to home, my father also passed within the past week. The Chieftains are featured and I include several pieces which were favorites of my father.

This week's songs and tunes are often played to honor the dead within Ireland and the UK, we hear from Dervish w/ Abigail Washburn the Celtic Fiddle Festival (Johnny Cunningham, Kevin Burke, Christian Lemaître), Robert Burns as read by Gordon Kennedy, Enya, the Lone Piper and Clannad Irish Band.

Davisville, Oct. 18, 2021: The Return of Lord Blood-Rah … which sounds like a title for one of the movies he hosts

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.
