And we come to the last day of June and the exact middle of the year (counting by month, not by day). This was an odd show of sorts in that only five tunes were played and most of them were tracks that had been on my "to play on BTT sometime" list for quite some time. I guess I just needed to clear some stuff off the deck, so to speak. The one piece that did not fall into this category was "Homunculus" by Passport. A long-lasting German jazz-rock group, I had heard of Passport but, for some reason, I never listened to any of their music until earlier this year. Now that I'm catching up on them, I figured it would appropriate to play something from them. The track comes from Passport's 5th studio album, Cross-collateral, which came out in 1975. You can dig the whole BTT show here. 

The first Breaking The Tethers program in July 2025 will be on Monday, July 7, starting at 10 am MT and ending one hour later. Go to cjsw.com or 90.9 FM. 

I haven't mentioned this on air yet but I'll make note of it here. I will be away for four shows this summer: July 28, August 4, August 11, and August 18 (all Mondays, of course). I'll be back on air on Monday August 26. I'm not yet sure who will be filling on for me on those dates but I'm sure they will do a great job so be sure to tune in!

Thanks.

I thought this one was a good example of a Breaking The Tethers episode. A nice mix of old and new, various styles while still leaning a bit to the outside, and a fair number of tracks played in one hour (I always try to squeeze in as much music as possible!). Enough said! Well, almost! You can listen to this "type specimen" show here.

The next show after this: Monday, June 30, 10 to 11 am MT, at cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

Thanks.
