Music

folk textures! often crafted from a deep fascination with acoustic instruments and styles, and their canoodling with electricity. what even is it? is it alive? and who cares? love of collage-y and crooked music. respect for ever warping tradition. cheers

jazzy day

Good morning!!

Good morning Wishbone!! Good morning TAndy!!

omg a butterfly in chat. Good morning!

Good morning wishbone, TAndy, and funky🦋

haha! I missed last week! Hi Rob!

Mornin, Rob!

Obligatory bird songs :)

I gotta

rob from maryland you're on deck recognize any?

haha

I love this!!

me too!!! i'm on an acoustic jazz kick so there's a lot more to come

Your show this morning may influence my musical taste for a little while too

@wishbone, Matthew Halsall is based in England, so all the bird sounds are surely from there. Other than House Sparrows, I couldn't recognize any species; I haven't been to Europe in a very long time

@wishbone, I loved the Leo Vance song that you opened the show with

very cool context to that long beautiful song...especially the birds

ok so I didn't know what 'liminality' meant in relation to the Amanda Whiting album title

Liminality refers to a state of being in between two stages, a transitional and often ambiguous period where old identities are shed but new ones have not yet been fully formed. It is the "threshold" phase of a significant change, experienced both physically in "liminal spaces" like airports or empty school hallways, and psychologically during major life events such as adolescence or a career change. This state is characterized by a sense of being "betwixt and between," with potential for both

below, thanks to google. learn something new every day!

huh interesting. always thought of it as a between-seeming place but never applied that to the feeling of impending change. thanks for sharing!

Loving this current piece 💙

More European birds!!

hide your french fries the seagulls are coming!

Also, Cygnus is the genus name for swans, as well as the name of a constellation

Really, look out for the seagulls!!

haha!

I was just at Walmart and there were SO MANY SEAGULLS. Everywhere, flying loafing and loitering around.

they're waiting for a kid with a tray of french fries to swoop down upon :)

Here's a Short of a European Herring Gull triggering the door of a Tescos, running in, and grabbing a bag of chips or something: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_6BXzlsh_SM

lol!! that Gull was on a mission!

I am sure that gull had done that before

I agree..a life of crime :)

very pretty wishbone...now I know the flower behind mount laurel, NJ (probably?)...have to look that up

Fwiw there's a Kalmia Road in upper northwest Washington, DC. It's one of many streets with plant names (Hemlock Street, Locust Road, etc.)

That's awesome!

my whole neighborhood is tree names

I love the Tesco gull's fast little footsteps

throw everyone a curve and start using the scientific name for your particular named tree street

@funkybutterfly, yes yes and YES

Oh gotcha I'll meet you at quercus & 53rd? 15min?

hehehehe

@wishbone, how awesome!

In DC the names are pretty much alphabetical from south to north and go from Aspen to Verbena

Quercus alba or Quercus rubra?

marilandica

haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

marilandica is a good oak to meet at

tie a yellow ribbon 'round the old marilandica tree...imagine if Tony Orlando had a sense of humor

this has been a lovely show, both the music and the chat. everyone have a lovely rest of the day!

It has been a fun morning wishbone and friends....have a great week!! :)

Thanks for the show!

see yall next week thanks for tuning in!!! :)

Nice tunes! Great to hear you laugh on air.

yo que pasa!!

Yo!

I got tangled up by an M32 last night ;)

HEYYYYY

Hope your Sunday is going well.
