This week's program featured a bit more jazz than has been common in last month or two. As I have about 15 new jazz CDs sitting on my desk (most of which are Canadian), I suspect that next week's edition (Sept. 5) will have a similar jazz focus. We'll see!

This was a real dog's breakfast in many ways. There was metal, jazz, old-time fiddle tunes, pow-wow songs, quirky pop, experimental odds and ends, and much more. Who knows what next week's program will end up like!

Another dog's breakfast kind of show (which is what I normally aim for! :-), though with fewer tracks (28) than in previous weeks. The reason for this is the fact I played the (short(er)) version of Miles Davis's "Circle in the round" from the album of the same name; this took up almost 1/6 of the show (but it was worth it!).

There are two important numbers in connection to today's program:

5800 - The 5800th track was played on Breaking The Tethers in this program. The track was "Carps daemon" by Wooley and co. 5800 isn't that auspicious a number but it does mark that the 6000 point is just seven or eight shows away (or thereabouts). I'll make more of a fuss when that number is reached.

33 - This is how many tracks were played in the Aug. 1 edition. I think I've played more than that at some point (maybe in the 34-36 range?) but I don't get into the 30s very often.

I should note that Matt shadowed me for training for the past three shows. He absorbed a ton of information and did a good job behind the board today.

Some new symbols will appear in the tracks lists, starting today (you'll notice one above). These are:
