August 9, 2018 (Alternative To What?)

https://cjsw.com/program/alternative-to-what/episode/20180809
 
I was fill-in host here again for this long-running CJSW program.  As usual, I took a trip far and wide across the musical map, featuring odd jazz, 80's alternative, something from the Simpsons, Beatles movie music, Afro-American rock, jam music, and much more.  Many thanks as always to Kerry Clarke for letting me do my thing on her program!

Mostly new music this week (I have loads of newly-released stuff that I want to get on air!) with a couple of visits to the past. There was a nice mix of styles and plenty of Canadian content. Nothing more to be said!

I'll be away for the next two shows, Monday, August 20 and Monday, August 27.  Linda Cunningham will be taking care of the Aug. 20 program and John Reid is on board for the Aug. 27 edition. Thanks in advance to Linda and John!  I'll be back on air for the Monday, September 3 show (which will likely be an all-new show).

This was a show much like last week, featuring much variation in style and age.  I also followed last week by playing a cover and its original version, in this case "Contemplation" by the Lenny Marcus Trio, released this year, and "Contemplation", the original, by McCoy Tyner, recorded and released in 1967.

I should apologize for the last song played in this program.  I had meant to play a track by Jerry Granelli.  I announced the track by Jerry Granelli.  But then I accidentally played a song by the Muffins.  Sorry!  I will make up for this gaffe by putting the Jerry Granelli song on air first thing on the next show.

On that note, the next Breaking The Tethers episode will be one week from now, Monday, August 13, 10-11 am MT, 90.9 FM, cjsw.com (usual time, usual place).

However, I will be on air before then, guest-hosting Alternative To What? on Thursday, August 9, 4-6 pm, same radio station.  I always have fun hosting ATW? (not that I don't with my own show, of course!).  Please join me if you can!

July 26, 2018 (Alternative To What?)

https://cjsw.com/program/alternative-to-what/episode/20180726

This was guest-host gig for me, filling in for long-time host Kerry Clarke on her program, Alternative To What?  As I usually do on this show, I went here, there, and everywhere over the musical map.  As well as presenting both newly-released and older material, I played afrobeat, proto-punk, lesser-known 60s rock, comedy, bluegrass, various types of jazz, and surf music, to name just a few styles featured.  Needless to say, I had a lot of fun!  Many thanks again to Kerry for handing me the reigns for this show!

I should also add that I'll be hosting ATW? again, on Thursday, August 9, 4-6 pm, on CJSW, 90.9 FM, cjsw.com.  Expect more of the same!

A birthday show for me, this was a nice and varied program with loads of great music (well, as much as I could fit into an hour!).  Tunes included a live track ("The machine demands a sacrifice" - what a great title!) from UK jazz-rock band, Colosseum, from an early incarnation (I'm planning to delve into this world again on the Aug. 6 show with a live piece from the UK jazz-rock band, Nucleus); two versions of Joe Henderson's "Black narcissus", the original and one from 2018; and another excerpt from the crazy Nat Adderley/Cannonball Adderley/Rick Holmes theme albums of the early 1970s, this one dealing with religion.

Expect more the same sort of thing, generally speaking, on the Aug. 6. edition of Breaking The Tethers.  Join me from 10-11 am MT at 90.9 FM on the dial or at cjsw.com on the Web.
