Hello everybody,

For a slight change of scenery, this show finds me working with a co-producer - one Darol Anger, formerly with the Turtle Island string Quartet and currently with The Republic of Strings. Darol brings to this show his expertise and brings with him several young virtuosi who are strong contenders for the next big thing in the world of strings. The whole collaboration was quite cool, and I hope that we can do more of this kind of thing in the future.

This episode is sponsored by Arcus USA - the first bow of the 21st century.



Enjoy the music and keep in touch!

Hello everybody,

Another brand-spanking new show for you - this one full of fire and energy - not a dull moment the whole way thru.

This show features two artists from Australia, one from Germany, one from France, one from everywhere, and two (curiously) from Rhode Island (of all the gin joints in all the world...).

More specifically, this show features the return of The G-Strings, a five-piece string ensemble out of Hamburg that was featured on the very first episode of this program. Also - if you have seen Adrian Belew play live anytime in the past decade, you may have noticed a dude with a violin sneaking on stage from time to time. That guy is the unpronounceable Biff Blumfumgagnge, and his group Reptile Palace Orchestra closes the show off on a fun, off-center note

This show is hosted by Ryu Cope, host of the popular podcast, Bad Buddhist Radio - a unique, un-fluffy look at living one's life as a Buddhist. Fascinating. Entertaining. And above all, incredibly relevant. Check it out!

Enjoy the music and keep in touch!
