Original air date April 14, 2020 | Time 58:00
I'm finding my way to reach out from my home to you! Since I've been here for several days in a row, the concept of HOME changes over time. It seems bigger, full of more things than I realized, everything I might need to have a satisfying day, a full life, is right here in my own backyard.
Come with me into these songs and find something for yourself.
A Reason to Smile - Simon and Garfunkel, Biff Rose, Dan Hicks, Frank Zappa, Van Dyke Parks, Brian Wilson
Original air date Feb 3, 2018 | Time 59:00
Music is so powerful. It can lift you up if you look for a reason to smile. If you go looking for a reason to smile you're going to find one.
Paul Simon's song "Punky's Dilemma" from Bookends by Simon and Garfunkle 1989. Biff Rose's second album The Children of Light 1969 is brillant. He wanted to be a stand-up comic in Los Angeles but ends up performing as a singer songwriter, appearing on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show over 12 times.
Leap Year Day!! Big Bill Broonzy, Seeger, Seals & Crofts, McCartney, Coldplay
Original air date February 29, 2020 | Time 59:00
It was a real surprise to find a song by the American blues musician Big Bill Broonzy called "Leap Year Blues". An old tradition for leap year day is that women are allowed to propose marriage to a man, which used to be unimaginable and socially unacceptable! Broonzy says it's time for her to pay the bills... If you live to be 80 years old you'll only see this unusual day 20 times, so let's celebrate and make the most of it. Seals & Crofts wrote "Today" and features some of the most beautiful mandoline playing I've ever heard.
