238 Frank Zappa: 30th Anniversary show – some instrumentals.
Marking the thirtieth anniversary of Frank Zappa’s death, Hugh put together a show of Zappa instrumental tracks, mostly from the post-Mothers period. Zappa’s jazz side was on full display. Peaking at 20 listeners, a respectable number for a late year show.

053R Rarities and What-if’s 6
A varied selection of tracks for a show that ended up on Thanksgiving weekend, but still managed 15 listeners. Slighlty more “novelty” records than usual, but they do fall into the Rarities section rather well.
237 Stevie Wonder in the Seventies.
A fine selection of tracks from Stevie Wonder’s most successful decade, sampling some of the timeless hits and some of the less well-known tracks. Assembled by Hugh, who gave us a great show as usual.
Stevland Hardaway Morris
This week, we’ll take a good look at the prolific early 70s through 80s in the career of Little Stevie, a period during which he defined some of the parameters of both Funk and Disco, helped transform the way keyboards were used in Rock music and made a large contribution to the introduction of the synthesizer to the mainstream.
Yes, we’re talking about Stevie Wonder here.

109R Pat Metheny
Lots of people on the plaza for this one, several new names too, and a peak of 21 connections, which is a good number for us these days. Some fans in the audience as well, which was nice.
Links, as promised during the show:
Manzer Pikasso guitar
Seeburg Style H Orchestrion
Philips Paganini Orchestrion
Pat Metheny Introduces “Orchestrion”

236 Fire!
A show for broadcast on November 5th, which is Bonfire Night in the UK, when bonfires and fireworks are indulged in. Having a theme of fire produced a very large number of candidate tracks, and they were reduced to one two-hour show with enough left over for another, so we’ll do this again.
Complete with exposition and explanation of the whole Gunpowder Plot, Guy Fawkes thing including burning figures in effigy – no longer the Pope, we are relieved to say.
Fire!
On the occasion of this year’s Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night, we will put on a show that’s on fire. Well, featuring songs about fire, fireworks, etc. Bring your safety goggles and dancing shoes!
Also please note that sanity has returned to most of the world in the form of standard time, so the show will be on at the usual 12:30 KI time for everybody again.
