Friends and Neighbors

Listening to a KLCC-fm (Eugene, Oregon) radio broadcast of their "Friends and Neighbors" program. Actually a podcast of a past program. Mostly singer/songwriter and folk music sounds. When I remember the day and times, I try to tune in for this program and their "Front Porch" program. Podcasts make it all convenient. It's nice to have a few music programs remaining on the radio.

There's also a program called, "The Mist Covered Mountain" that has Celtic Music themes. Years ago I used to record selected parts of it from reel-to-reel tape onto cassette tapes. Still have those cassettes in a shoe box in my closet.

Learning To Dance

My introduction to Jack Tempchin was way back in the early 1970's. The songwriter of the song that The Eagles made famous, "Peaceful Easy Feeling." The song that I personally identify with discovering FM radio. Forty-plus years later and he has a new album. (I'm assuming that there were a few in between but he never became a huge name.)

Causes me to wonder how many singer/songwriters over the years, never had the big break that put them out there for greater exposure and more listeners? How many songs worthy of an ear, never were heard beyond a small circle of friends? I suppose that's why I keep looking for more music. Why I keep flipping through those racks of records and compact discs. The seemingly insatiable hope that I'll find something new or older .... but still enjoyable to give a listen to.
