RADIO SHOW:

HERE ( click that "here" for the link ) is the link for my latest and first 2023 radio show. The show starts off with about a minute of the pervious show's song. The Magic Carpet Ride begins with Wide Spread Panic covering Steppenwolf's MCR. I do a quick thank you acknowledgment to pervious shows DJ's and then we get bizarre. 

This version of the Magic Carpet Ride kicks A$$ on a number of fronts. The biggest difference maker would be the fact that I knew this would NOT be a perfect show. Was going in rusty and totally looking forward to simply jammin on out. 

I featured Kung Fu clips from the 1972 televised series, offered up 4 trivia questions, and this wasn't no nostalgia show there grasshopper. The King Lives 

I executed an entertaining show, matched clips with musical cuts, and littered the airwaves with remixed and mash up tracks. Turn It Up 

There was something so freeing to the fact that I arrived completely stress free. I used to way over think my shows. Sometimes I would arrive with about 6 hours of music for an intended 2 hour time slot. This show was all about enjoying the moment and riding the magic carpet. 

Even when I played Led Zeppelin by mistake, No Worries. I kept my composure and didn't allow that mistake to ruin my night. So what if I hit play on CD 1 when I clearly meant to air CD 2. Whatever 

My only complaint was that the high energy beats and my enthusiasm allowed the clock to fly by way too quickly. When I realized I only had a half hour left of the show, kinda bummed me out for a second. But the music picked me right back up and I finished the show so strong. Loved It 

And what also rocked my world were the trivia playing callers attempting to correctly answering questions genuinely expressed how they have missed me. I am some touching moments for sure. I wasn't prepared for those conversations at all but those voices of reason were welcoming and very humbling. A few of them were very out spoken about how awful STAFF at the station are. I just listened because I was hosting a show and that wasn't the proper time to engage. But in my mind, I wanted to bluntly ask them why I am the only Mother Phuc at the Board Meeting as Joe Q Public. 

But I just steady the ship and moved forward in my musical world of make believe. I really hope that you have a listen because the KISS remix is worthy of a listen. You gotta check out the Glenn Campbell jam for sure. Its unreal!!! Hopefully you get a kick out of Master and Grasshopper prominences as well. Be Like A Running Brook 

And then the best was this photo above. Can you believe that the Program Director sent this to me?? I forwarded to everyone. I added my two cents with something like this would be the new protocol when a volunteer enters KAFM. Doesn't Everyone Receive An Email Like This?? Harassment 101

GOALS:

1. Shovel Because It Just Has To Snow Soon 
2. Call The Graphic Designer AGAIN 
3. Book A New Client
4. Stretch With Intention 
5. Check In With / On Friends 

Comet E3 is now visible and will be until early Feb. Grab a pair of binoculars and look towards the Little Dipper in the northern sky. Under a super dark unpolluted night sky, the naked eye will do just fine. But with your favorite pair of binoculars in hand, that greenish ball of light is mind boggling. 

Keep Looking Up,

Cheers
