Some progressive rock from Northern climes, and very good it was too. A good crowd to egg us on, up to 16 listener connections at best, despite a glitch that cut the stream right at the start.

The Chairman
This week, we will take a step to a side we normally don’t tread in, and that is the Tommy Dorsey Band’s lead vocalist, wo went on to a long solo career after leaving the band, retiring in 1971.
And deciding to un-retire in 1973, of course, and he continued to do it his way until shortly before his death in 1998, singing concerts until only months before.
Yep, Frank Sinatra.

297 Terje Rypdal
A collection of the music of this Norwegian guitarist, and something alittle different, more avant-garde and electic than our usual fare. Neverthekssm, well attended, especially for an Easter Sunday. Thanks to everyone who listened 🙂

172R Power Fusion
Jazz + rock + some loudness. Power fusion was the outgoing end of the jazz-rock genre, and we had some of the best exemplars in our show.

Fusion Power!
Imagine Jazz Fusion. Then, add a few more amps. Also, some progressive Rock. Then, turn it up to 11. That’s Power Fusion. Which will be this week’s topic. And, just to make things more interesting, remember that the DST discrepancy will be over until autumn…

296 Tom Paxton
Tom Paxton, a man with a vast musical career, still not ended, beginning in the early Sixties Greenwich Village volk revival scene, and produceing to date 68 studio and live albums. Writing and singing his own songs, accopanied on accoustic guitar, he told arresting stories with a few well-chosen words in songs three or four minutes long.
The preshow was early examples of his work, and the postshow, beginning with The Bravest, a song about the firefighters who went up the stairs of the Two Towers on 9/11 as everybody else was coming down, ended with several more of his love songs and finished with Outward Bound, a song about a couple setting sail on the sea of marriage.

60 Years And Ongoing
Career spanning 60 years, check. Folk songwriter, check. Songwriting teacher, check. Multiple hits as songwriter, check. Plenty of topical songs satirizing politics, check. Several albums of children’s songs—wait, did we take a wrong turn somewhere? No, it’s just Tom Paxton being Tom Paxton, who is pushing 90 and shows few signs of slowing down, or keeping his mouth shut.
