This week, we will have a collection of songs about, well, secrets and lies. That’s it. That’s the whole theme. But don’t tell anyone…

179R The Wood and The Wire – guitar instrumentals.
A choice set of guitar instrumentals across a wide variety of genres – intended to both give everyone something they like and also introduce you to new things that you might want to follow up. And to do that you need the playlist, so here it is.

Dead Trees And Extruded Metal
This week’s show is all about what happens when you take a piece of wood, attach another piece of wood, and connect one end with the other with a few wires.
Yes, you’ve got it pegged. It’s about guitars! No words needed. This is guitar instrumentals.

302 Jerry Donahue
Featuring the remarkable talents of guitarist Jerry Donahue, well known for his prowess at string bending and his speed of execution, and also for his ability in general to fit in as a sideman with may bands and singers. All the tracks featured Jerry on guitar apart from the Jerry Reed original version of The Claw.
I remember watching the Joan Armatrading concert back in the day, and being impressed. Rewatching it recently, I made the Jerry Donahue connection and from there the show came together.
Oh, I promised to post the link to the Jerry Donahue clip on YouTube that shows him playing The Claw with close-ups of the fretboard. It’s here
The full documentary, one of the British Channel 4 series Equinox, broadcast in 1987 and called Twang Bang Kerang,is also on YouTube right now, and can be found below.

Hello Jerry!
That’s Jerry Donahue. You may not have heard of him, but you almost certainly have heard him, being as he is a prolific session guitarist, aside from his gigs as a Hellecaster or with Fairport Convention.

177R LA Sunshine, Psychedelia and Harmony Pop
A straightforward feelgood show, digging into the past, with a certain aroma of flowers and incense, and lots of three-minute or less tracks 🙂
-
Sunshine, Pop, and the Unknown
You know Sunshine Pop. You know the bits that crossed over into psychedelia. Well, some of them, anyway. And you probably have heard all the big hits somewhere and somewhen on the radio.
This weekend, we’ll play the bits you (most likely) didn’t hear.

-
160 km
Or, for the unmetric, 100 miles. Or Miles at 100. In other words, we will be celebrating the work of Miles Davis in the week of what would have been his 100th birthday!

A show that did what it said on the tin – played that funky music from a wide variety of bands, some of them unexpected 🙂
