Saint Patrick’s Day 2017
Radio Free D’ni provided some of the music for the St. Patrick’s Day parade and post-parade bop, and here is the playlist :).
The preshow was, as usual, designed to let people find the broadcast channel and get tuned in to the music. Unfortunately, I had not created the playlists, and doing so took up so much processing power that the channel dropped out for most people. However, I promised not to do that again, and the listeners returned… at one point, 43 folks were listening, more than were in the cavern, and we still had 27 on line when I handed over to Joker at 15 KI.

Covered Up II
This Sunday we will present our second round of original songs and cover versions thereof which are either unusal, have a bit of a story to them, or both. We did receive some criticism about our last show on this theme, but also enough positive feedback that we think it’s a viable concept, especially since this is not just original and almost identical cover, but rather the more diverse bits.
Because of the time difference caused by North America switching to Daylight Saving Time earlier than most of the rest of the world, this show will air from 1400 KI time, which will be 2000 UK and 2100 MET, so for our European listeners, it will be the usual time and an hour later than usual to our North American listeners.
See you in the Cavern,

International Women’s Day 2017
For IWD 2017 Radio Free D’ni presented a four-hour show of music by female artists, presented by Root Beer with AlanDJ, Malaclypse and Edison Rex. Hummingbird was with us on the plaza, and delivered some reminders of what the day was about, and biographical details of significant women, some famous and others not so. In addition, Ghaelen D’Lareh (who could not be with us due to other commitments) contributed a spoken piece about Mary Woolstonecroft and Mary Shelley.
We had over 35 listeners for the majority of the show, with a peak of 43 – Do join us again 🙂

62 No Fillers 1
For this, we chose albums that we consider to have no weak tracks at all, that is, no fillers, no tracks just to pad out the album to its full length. Naturally enough this is a little bit subjective, so if we haven’t included your favourite, I apologise, but will note that we have several albums left over in our list, enough for more shows on this theme, if you like it. And do please send us your own suggestions for this category. Tracks were chosen as far as possible to be the less-well known and played ones from each album
The Preshow was made up from the F section of my stash, with Flanders and Swann interjecting some humour between Fairport Convention and Fleetwood Mac.
The Postshow consisted of tracks that didn’t quite make the cut for the main show, given that we restricted ourselves to two tracks from each album. This was one way to fit those extra tracks in.

No-Filler Albums
On March 5th, we will present a selection of tracks from albums that have no filler on them. Those albums are both rarer, and more frequent than might be expected: some of the “usual suspects” not having produced a single such album, whereas there are quite a few largely unknown artists who have almost made a hobby out of making them, despite never breaking into the upper end of the charts.
See you in the Cavern,
Malaclypse
61 One-Hit Wonders
As a result of a request from the audience, we produced a set of One-Hit Wonders, always a risky category as you can end up mired in novelty songs, which are generally uninspiring out of their context. However, not only did we manage to assemble a good set of tracks, we had a large audience as well, with up to fifteen in the cavern and a top number of 33 listeners – the first time I can recall where we had more listeners outside the cavern than on the plaza. We also had a new recruit to the team, Root Beer, who shared announcements with us.
The preshow was all Mal’s doing, and a right good mixture it was too
| Let There Be Drums | Sandy Nelson | Single | 1962 |
| Thomas The Rhymer | Steeleye Span & Maddy Prior | A Rare Collection 1972-1996 | 1999 |
| Lights and Thunder | White Lion | Mane Attraction | 1991 |
| Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues) | Three Dog Night | Hard Labor | 1976 |
| That’s The Way That It Is | Uriah Heep | The Best Of…Part 2 | 1998 |
| Would the Christians Wait Five Minutes? The Lions Are Having a Draw | Man | Man | 1970 |
The show itself had more tracks than usual, as one-hit wonders are generally of the 3-minute single format, so we ended up with 30 tracks. Actually we ran over time a bit, but nobody complained, not even the neighbours.

| Drums A Go-Go | Sandy Nelson | Single | 1965 |
| Hanging By a Moment | Life House | No Name Face | 2000 |

One-Hit Wonders
As per request of a couple of shows ago, Sunday’s show will be featuring various one-hit wonders, complete with the usual background info on them. And possibly a few surprises in there, though we did try not to include too many novelty songs, which alsmost by definition end up making their artists one-hit wonders, if they make it into the charts at all.
See you in the Cavern,
Malaclypse
60 Playing The Game
Radio Free D’ni’s 60th show coincided with the 7th anniversary of MOULa’s revival, and in honour of that we had a selection inspired by playing the game – adventure games mostly, and the various Uru incarnations especially.
The preshow was selections from the end of the ‘D’ section and the start of ‘E’ from my CD stash. The Nightfly is on later than we are and has to deal with much wierder callers.
| Track | Artists | Album | Year |
| The Nightfly | Donald Fagen | The Nightfly | 1982 |
| Trans-Island Skyway | Donald Fagen | Kamakiriad | 1993 |
| Take the ‘A’ Train | Duke Ellington | Ain’t Misbehavin’ | 2000 |
| Karn Evil 9 (1st Impression, Part 2) | Emerson, Lake & Palmer | Brain Salad Surgery | 1973 |
| Knife-Edge | Emerson, Lake & Palmer | Emerson, Lake and Palmer | 1970 |
| No Alibis | Eric Clapton | Journeyman | 1989 |
The show reveals my like of jazz, prog and guitarists. This should be no surprise by now.

The postshow had some of the tracks that almost made it into the show. Rush’s Farewell to Kings is obvious, Places to Go is what we all have, the Cannonball is found in Teledahn (in the gun) and could also be the imitation stone of Sisyphus in the Path of the Shell. Several places could be a Temple of the Winds. Running on Three is what it feels like when you can’t quite solve a puzzle and Available Light is needed in Kadish Tolesa, in the moon room and the pyramid.

| A Farewell To Kings | Rush | A Farewell To Kings | 1977 |
| Places to Go | Tony Levin | Resonator | 2006 |

Connections II: the connections
The connections from the show:
Dire Straits (Terry Williams on drums) → Rockpile (Williams with Dave Edmunds) → Dave Edmunds → Dave Edmunds with Mark Knopfler (who was the front man of Dire Straits) → John Fogerty with Mark Knopfler (Kenny Aronoff on drums, who also filled in for Dave Mattacks a few times) → Steeleye Span (Dave Mattacks on drums) → Chris Rea (Dave Mattacks on drums) → Chris Rea with Elton John → Olivia Newton-John with Elton John → Olivia Newton-John with ELO → ELO (Jeff Lynne guitar/vocals) → Traveling Wilburys (Jeff Lynne guitar/vocals, Jim Keltner drums) → Pink Floyd (Jim Keltner drums on 1987 album).
Back to Jeff Lynne: first solo album produced by Dave Edmunds → Dion (1989 album produced and guitars by Edmunds, Terry Williams drums) → Man (Terry Williams drums), bringing us back to our starting point.
Back to Dave Mattacks: Fairport Convention → Richard Thompson (John Kirkpatrick accordion) → Steeleye Span (Kirkpatrick accordion, Maddy Prior vocals) → Jethro Tull (Maddy Prior vocals on 1976 album).
And the next bunch of connections will therefore most likely be focused on Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull.
On a side note, Terry Williams and Dave Edmunds have worked together since 1970 when Williams replaced Bob „Congo“ Jones on drums with Edmunds’ band Love Sculpture, and has played on many Edmunds solo albums, as well as with the other members of Rockpile (Nick Lowe, Billy Bremner). We would have loved to explore those connections a bit further, but since we only have 2 hours of air time per show, we stuck to the stuff farther afield. Edmunds also produced the first demos of Motörhead, and there will be quite a bunch of seemingly weird connections from Jethro Tull, some back to the English Electric Folk scene, which could well rate its own Connections show in the future.
And an apology to all those who want more Connections shows (we heard you…), these shows unfortunately require a particularly large amount of research, so they will be spaced out a little. There will be more, though.
