Hey,

This show is being released as I am waiting at the airport to fly back to Cleveland from Seattle where I have been for the past few days at my sister's wedding. So in order to keep my promise of one show a week while not drowning in this whole "trip" thing, I have decided to compile a show featuring some of my favorite pieces from the last two years.

Nick Ogawa was featured on episode 012 ("The Corbin Keep episode" ) with this tune that I still haven't been able to get out of my head to this day.

The Morgantown Rounders were featured on episode 017 ("The Chris Boros episode") . These guys are a favorite of mine and my daughter's - we listen to their disc in the car all the time. This tune wasn't the featured tune on that show, but I sneaked part of this song in as the exit music.

The Luminiscent Orchestrii appeared on episode 001 ("The Lex Coffman episode") . I had the pleasure of playing in a band that opened for these guys when they played in Cleveland back in 2004 -- long before this show was ever thought of. A great band to see live.

And finally, L. Subramaniam - the premier Indian violinist in the world - was featured on episode 009 ("The Acoustic Ross episode"). Entrancing, exquisite, exotic.

... and just for the record -- this past Sunday - 8 Jul - was my birthday. And I didn't receive a card or anything from ANY of you, you miserable wretches! We'll just see if I remember YOUR birthday or not!

More great music next week!

Hello,

This is by far the longest episode I have assembled since the very first one - clocking in at nearly 60 minutes. Lots of fun stuff here - notably the Cellorhythmics track and the absolutely infectious "If It Feels Good" by Nick Ogawa (that one will stick your head for days and days). Also worthy of note is the show's first political piece, phearnone's "War's Favorite Things."

This show is also home to a Bowed Radio Exclusive... The world-renown Turtle Island String Quartet appears on this episode with a new track that is unavailable on any recording - an homage to John Coltrane entitled "Model Trane."

What with my "straight job" situation coming to a resolution here - not to mention the new resources available as a member of the MySpace community, these episodes will return to their previous frequency here shortly. Many surprises yet to come.\

Hosting this episode is Corbin Keep the Wild Cellist of Bowen Island, British Columbia. Corbin was a guest on Episode 004 of this program.

Enjoy the music!
