March 20: Irish, Chuck Berry, and SxSW
More Posts for Show:
Sure, the world is enveloped in Irish music this week. So it seemed like a good time to zig when all others zag. Played a set of entirely British music, from Lily Allen to Led Zeppelin, and lots of good stuff in between. Hope you enjoyed!
The order got mixed up in the translation, but tunes are still good. Thanks everybody for the requests!
This week we remember Kurt Cobain, send our thoughts to the people of Sweden, and share what I believe is a first for Rochester radio: Rochester Institute of Technology President Bill Destler’s original song “Alternative Facts” which he first performed at concert last week.
No Valentine’s Day schmoopiness here:
Yeah, I totally forgot to plays some songs that I loved in 2016 during my Best of 2016 show last week. So I started the new year by trying to make amends. Hope you enjoyed.
Everything is a little out of order below, but it’s all there.
Fresh Toones as performed on the Folkfest Radio Show in 1982.
Song #1 “Only a Song“ –“ Love is only a song and if you try to grasp it in your hands it will only disappear.”
Song #2 “Just Another Season” – A love song that expresses the hope that we can grow together towards the love we’re looking for.
Song #3 “I Want to Believe” – A song that rejects the cynical perspective that love is “a bunch of hooey.”
Song #4 “If I Can Only“ – A humorous look back at some youthful hopes and dreams. In the end this bouncy song should leave one hopeful for the future when a lot of empty goals are put aside.
Song #5 “Don’t You Cry Now“ – A comforting song that encourages us to let our tears flow so we can go on to nurture our love.
Song #6 “Long Ways to Go“ – One of those “we’ve got a long ways to go” songs.
Song #7 “Things” – A song about how the accumulation of too many “things” can sometimes lead to our own demise.
Song #8 “You Made Your Choice So Own It” –We all make choices in our lives, but most importantly we need to take ownership of them. If any of those choices should lead us or our country astray then we have a responsibility to try to resolve them.
