Boys fishin’ the bayou circa 1939
Library of Congress
Saturday – Live at 7:00 p.m.
Here’s the first of what I imagine will be the shape of the show for the summer. This show is just over 5 hours but future shows will hopefully be longer, much, much longer. 
Thanks for listening, now back to my vacation….

As promised I’m featuring the maximum number of cuts allowed from “These Wilder Things” the new album from Ruth Moody.
I’ve decided to take a couple months off to work on other projects and try to make up for my lost summer last year I spent in my La-Z-Boy with my leg immobilized for 12 weeks.
I’m working on a plan that will keep the station running that will result in a lot more music and a lot less talk, except for the occasional live show.
Step 1 is to realign the blog to make it easier to update, so I killed the front page concept.
You know what the BRR Blue Kitty means, yep a live show which will start around 7:15 p.m. EDT. I’ll be featuring more cuts from Ruth Moody’s “These Wilder Things” and fill out the hour with more great artists from True North Records.

New ShowSunday – Trying to get the new show cued up to go by noon EDT. If not noon, then 1 p.m. for sure.
Live ShowThursday 7 p.m. EDT
CSNY will be releasing some live stuff from ’74 later this summer but it’s not likely they will tour on it. Here’s what Graham Nash had to say about the prospect:
Another factor limiting the odds of another CSNY tour is the simple fact they haven’t spent much time together in recent years. “I’d love to be Neil’s friend,” says Nash. “We’re great friends on some level and great acquaintances and musical partners on some level, but I can’t call Neil my friend. I have never had his cell phone number. That’s a small detail, but very deep.”

Thursday Program Note – If there is anyone a-boot at 7 p.m. we’ll go live for an hour. I don’t mind working for nothing but working for no one is just kinda sad.
OK, so maybe the daily show updates was not such a great idea, but I did give it a good run. Back to the drawing board. In the meantime I’m going to post new shows when I think the current one is getting stale or the complaint box fills up.

It’s an anniversary of sorts. It was 3 years ago today this blog was moved into WordPress, one of the best decisions I’ve made. WordPress is the only way to go imho.
Looking back:
1967, The first master tape of The Beatles new album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was made. The song order on side one is different from the final product at this point, the last five songs on that side being initially ordered as follows: ‘Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite’, ‘Fixing a Hole’, ‘Lucy In the Sky with Diamonds’, ‘Getting Better’, and ‘She’s Leaving Home’. The Beatles had specified that there were to be no gaps between songs – a unique idea at the time.
2000, An all-star tribute to Joni Mitchell was held at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City featuring performances by Elton John, Bryan Adams, Shawn Colvin, James Taylor, Cyndi Lauper, Richard Thompson, k.d. Lang, and Mary Chapin Carpenter.

On this day…
1994, Kurt Cobain committed suicide by shooting himself in the head at his home in Seattle. Cobain’s body wasn’t discovered until April 8, by an electrician who had arrived to install a security system, who initially believed that Cobain was asleep, until he saw the shotgun pointing at his chin. A suicide note was found that said, “I haven’t felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing . . . for too many years now”. A high concentration of heroin and traces of Valium were found in Cobain’s body.

Program Note: After all the techno-network issues yesterday on Live365 I feel the radio gods are tempting me to try to do a live show. Damn you radio gods, tune in at 7 p.m. EDT and try to stop me!
In today’s music history is stranger than fiction:
1968, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Joni Mitchell, Al Kooper and Ted Nugent met up for an all night blues, folk and rock session at The New Generation Club, New York after hearing the news of Martin Luther King’s assassination.
