  When a pig, a frog, and a woodpecker set out on a three wheeled Harley bound for the ancient redwood forests of Big Sur so they can learn how to fly (a woodpecker who can't fly - what's that all about?), a lot can go wrong.It’s times like this when it’s good to have friends. Like Swami, a local surfer who hears your thoughts and changes his appearance at will; or Vashti, the ten thousand year old holy man; or Anansi, the shape shifting trickster; or Stokes, the ageless mountain man.  

"The Unlikely Confderacy of Hoggy, Froggy and Ernie" is hard to describe

 - a little bit "The Incredible Journey" and a little bit Tom Robbins, with a dash of Vedic storytelling thrown in.  Join us this week on Writers' Voices for the story behind the story, when Monica and Caroline interview Fairfield author Ron Louthan, a fourth generation California native who studied English Literature at the University of Oregon and UCLA and has managed to become a witty, original writer nevertheless.  "The Unlikely Conferacy" was published March 22, and Ron will be giving a reading at Revelatiions on Saturday, April 6. 

Obvious World Sunday Nights 11e/10c/9m/8p

Legendary American film critic Roger Ebert passed Thursday after a long bout with cancer. "Our father of film critics has left the building. Today is a day to take a pause. In my young adult life I couldn't wait until 11:30 pm Sunday night to watch Roger Ebert's show. It would set the tone of what films to watch for the week, and give me new insight into the message the film was trying to send." - Filmosopher Big Al Green 

Roger Ebert was a profound presence to all film fans and an immense influence to all of us who were inspired and blessed to work in film media. We'll offer our memories and pass along what others had to say on the Filmosophers show. Friday, 12:30 PM Central, repeated Sunday morning at 9:00.

"I'll see you at the movies." --The final words Ebert wrote to his readers.

50 years ago heard the wave of surf music, the early voices of soul, and the schmaltzification of most music on the radio. i'll finish my sample of the former, and go easy on the latter.

but i can't ignore the wonderfully sexist advice of jack jones' "wives and lovers" (one of burt bacharach's brilliant embarrassments), kyu sakamoto's campy "sukiyaki," and brian wilson's [yes, that's him in the photo on the right] "surfer girl" and "surf city."

those were cute, but here's some of what you'll be feeling well after my show: freddy scott's (original) "hey girl," smokey robinson and the miracles' "you really got a hold on me," and marvin gaye's "can i get a witness."

the music of 1963 was on the cusp of radical changes (remember, great britain was already rocking out, but the beatles hadn't yet hit the states).

five out of ten music nerds might approve.....

Yes, peeps du jour,

it's Dain Daller time.

Tune in, turn on,

and drop anchor.

where high art

flows thick as the Ol' Muddy.

The Land beyond the north wind,where never the muse is absent- this is our source, course, and goal for the show. Of course, we have to begin the show with the song 'We're Flying' by The Green Pajamas. Oh, then '7th Voyage', by local and I -wish-they-were-still-playing Psyquatics. Then it is on to The Clouds Went That Way; 99 Steps To The Sun; and Moon, Turn The Tides, Gently, Gently Away... that being part two of Jimi Hendrix from his amazing and excellent song 1983, A Merman I Should Turn To Be. One of three epic songs during the show, the other two from Gillian Welch, and Yes. If you be ready for an experience, then for the good of the revolutions, fly with... The G Man.
