This week, we will look at what a British emigré put together with the leftovers of a local Blues band in 1968. The results could be described as a “big tent” effort. They did call themselves Wigwam, after all. Not entirely happy with being labeled “Prog,” they said they did “deep Pop,” and you can find out whatever that is supposed to be if you tune in on Sunday.

One of my first DJ shows, back in the days of the DMR, repurposed for the Mysterium weekend. Max 14 listeners, so not everyone was in Portland.
Since it’s Mysterium time, this week will be a jazzy look at Myst-ish things. A rivening trail of odds and sods, leading the listener from exile to revelation, even to the end of ages. Or straight into the City, depending on which book you pick up.

A third Miles Davis collection, concentrating on his rise to fame and the rise of the Cool Jazz style. 16 listener connections at best, which is a good number.
This week’s offering is a look back at what Miles Davis did around the time of Birth of the Cool. Well, around the time the tracks collected on that compilation were recorded, so we’re talking about the end of the 1940s and onwards: the genesis of what became Cool Jazz.

A second dose of easy listening tracks, with stuff from piano bars in Paris, Italian cinema music and British ensembles like Sounds Orchestral. A goodly number of listeners too, up to 24 at best.
Actually, yes it is. Easy Listening, that is, back for a second show this week.

A nice relaxed set of rock on the various folk- country- and pop-rock styles. Up to 14 listeners, but we were competing with the World Cup and the 4th of July.
No, not that one. We’re talking about Jackson Browne. While he has not been much of a chart presence by himself, as a songwriter, he has helped populate the Billboart top 20 since the early 1970s and continues to do so to this day. Though we’re more concerned with the man himself in this show, and some of his more personal work.

A compilation show of tracks with allusions to Secrets or Lies in them. Covering a wide variety of styles and genres, it had something for everyone. Up to 19 listener connections agreed with us 🙂
