181 Miles Davis: the Birth of the Cool – and Beyond.

A commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Miles Davis, a legendary jazz trumpeter, bandleader and arranger.  The show was put together by Hugh and was something of a labour of love.

017R Rarities and What-ifs 2 Remastered

One of our early shows, with a very good and varied tracklist, remastered for new listeners.  Despite several disruptions in the cavern, our audience reached 20, which is a respectable number, and I know that 20 connections means more than 20 people listening.  Thanks. folks.

A show I remasterd in terms of the script, but the content remained unchanged.  I was tempted, but I’m glad I didn’t succumb.  Very well attended, max 25, 19 for most of the show – more than we had for the first broadcast 🙂  Very gratifying.

179 The Wood and The Wire: guitar instrumentals

An idea that occurred to me a while ago, and at the time I didn’t think there would be many tracks that qualified.  Then I started to look properly, and my goodness, there are loads.

I did indulge myself a bit in choosing some of my own favourites, but Malaclypse and Hugh contributed too, Hugh helping with the classical/accoustic section in particular.

We had a good audience, especially considering we were still in the holiday period, and the folks in the cavern liked it.  We’ll start work on a follow-up

The wood and the wire can claim a man
Dreams in his fingers, power in his hands
Louder than laughter, brighter than fire
The promise that lives in the wood and the wire
