Merry Christmas...

...and happy new year. I think 2007 went pretty well, all things considered. I hope you feel the same way. Of course, 2008 can be even better. I hope yours is. The best way to make your life meaningful is by trying to benefit as many other people as possible. Let 2008 be the year of the other. Let's try to take better care of each other, eh? What do think? The whole "it's all about me" is so 2006, or 1990s. Let's make this the "Others Decade" instead of the "ME" decade.

On the music front, I'm looking forward to the coming year. I have a feeling we're in store good things.

Thanks to all for supporting Saturday Morning. It's great fun for me, and, I hope, the music your hear on the program introduces you to new kinds of creativity and inspiration.

So, I am sending out waves of peace and love to all. I wish everyone a new year of no suffering and all happiness. I pray you will see your problems as opportunities to understand yourself better. Remember, once a problem occurs, it's done. Rejoice. Be happy. Just be kind to each other. This is my aspiration for myself, and for all others.

Peace be with you,

Bill

No warning, no show. What gives?

Hi there,

Sorry to be absent this Saturday past. Absent minded too. Forgot to leave a quick post to let you know I was not able to do the old show. I plan to be there this coming weekend. Looks like, at the moment, that we'll feature the new release from Iron and Wine...but like everything else in life, this could change.

I got a comment today asking about my favorite band. Hard to say. I can tell you what I've been listening to in the car. I have a rotation going between and among Beirut, The Cinematic Orchestra, and Kaki King. Past recent favs have included Fiest, Appassionato by Yo Yo Ma, Imogen Heap, Kate Havnevik, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Pacha Massive, Andrew Bird.....

I played Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams repeatedly for months, much to my children's displeasure. Now, my interests move with the winds. Like a bird, I don't stay in one place long. Each we I pick a feature artist that is someone whose music I like. I often start listening to them for a while after featuring them on the show.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions, except to say, I guess there are no favorites.

Have a great week. Be kind...to your selves and others. See you next week.

Bill

tomorrow on the big shoe

In just under 14 hours we'll be featuring the new release from Beirut - The Flying Club Cup - on the big radio program. Hope you will join us. This is exciting. Not only is it new music form one of the best new, young talents in the biz, but BaDaBing records is following other record companies by releasing the album on iTunes before the actual CD release date (in this case, October 9,2007). So, do join us for the debut of the latest from Beirut. Be there, or be square....

big love

Bill

No Saturday Morning? What the...

Sorry friends. I am off getting my head looked at and trying to tame my mind (I know it's possible, just not probable this lifetime) so no show this week. That means that next week I will have a ton, yes a nonmetric ton of new tunes to share. I will return next week, promise. Unless I die in the meantime, then all bets are off.

Big peace...until we meet again.

Saturday Morning May 26, 2007 Play List

Happy Memorial Day weekend! I think it's interesting how we in this country will use any three day weekend as an excuse to party and drive big boats too fast on small lakes, even when the reason for the three day weekend is a somber one. Perhaps a moment can be set aside, in between beers, to consider all those you have died or put their lives on the line regardless of the utility or purpose of the mission.

Public Radio Talent Quest

I have used this contest as a catalyst for producing a short radio story. You can check it out here if you like. Let me know what you think, and feel free to vote. I have no aspiration to be the next public radio star. But, I do want to start producing radio stories. Stay tuned. I will be expanding this two minute piece into something a bit longer, closer to 10 minutes and will post it when it's done by the end of June. So, fingers crossed. It's time for a bit more creativity in my life.

Thanks for checking in. See you Saturday Morning. What do you want to hear?

Interview and music with Peter Siegel recorded live

Peter Siegel on Saturday Morning

This week, folk/roots singer-song writer Peter Siegel joins me on the program for some talk and live music. Peter plays original music that blends roots, folk, and old-time music, among others, often with humorous and potent political imagery. Peter is carrying on the activist tradition that was so much a part of the earlier days of folk music.

Please join us Saturday Morning April 7th at around 9 a.m. on 107.7 LPFM WVEW, Brattleboro, VT or WVEW.org for live stream.

Peter will be playing a benefit concert at the Full Moon Coffee House in Wendell, Ma Saturday night (April 7, 2007). So, if you like what you hear, you can catch him live and in person that night.

Saturday Morning for March 31, 2007

This week’s feature artist is Beirut. We played cuts from Beirut’s 2006 releases, Gulag Orkestar and Lon Gisland. Also, as usual, we mixed in a bunch of new music from established and emerging artist. Base on phone feedback, Beirut, Toumani Diabate’s Symmetric Orchestra, and the Shackeltons were the big favorites. Thanks for your input.

Next week, I plan to have an interview with singer/song writer Peter Siegal. Peter will be playing some of his music and talking with us about his current plans and new CD.

By the way, if you leave a comment here, which I hope you will, please leave you name and an email address if you would like to hear back from me.

Here’s this weeks playlist. Thanks all. Have a great week.
