Fancy & Functional

KRAKATAU was SuperDuper!

Flamboyant & Fantastic

glad you liked Krakatau

Very enjoyable start to the show!

I'm trying to make your time listening worthwhile

Appreciate you, DJ DaveTheObscure!

TIGRAN HAMASYAN ❤️

so good

Stepping into some fun music right now! Good morning

good morning, goots

Siiiiick

bela fleck - interesting and nice segue out of this set.

yeah, the set had strong folk and acoustic elements

good morning, Tyler B

This makes me wanna yee my haw

My curse :(

Just saw Bela Fleck about 12 hours ago. He played in a trio at a park in King of Prussia, PA. (Concerts Under the Stars series - highly recommend). Bela on banjo as usual. Edmar Castañeda from Colombia on standup electric Colombian harp! What a instrument and musician too. Wild. And drummer Antonio Sánchez from Mexico is a pro. Improv driven jazz fusion world Latin ... hard to describe. Did not sound like any other music except maybe some of Bela's pieces did sound like his various group

You never fail, TAndy. But what an unusual superpower

The MIGHTY VAK

Edmar can make the harp sound like a stand up bass, harp, piano, thunder, wind, piano, Jamaican steel pan. Really cool instrument.

@Brian D - I hope they release recordings of that lineup

Ya they would fit right in here

They have a release from last year BEATrio

Oh yeah! I see on Discogs! I MUST OBTAIN!

Love that ID too haha

get outta my room!

EURYTHMICS ♥️♥️♥️

Totally different Dave Stewart

Yay time

funny replacement @TAndy!

The wailing and gnashing... :)

Good morning

Oops.

Good morning, Roffle

Oh. I thought it was my EnterWebs

But the music comes with a warning label

No, MrM, it was my errant click

Glitch disclaimer in there somewhere.

Whoopsie

operator error

then Operator saved the Morning & Music! 🏆 Huzzah!

Grembo Zavia is a Pod Racer from the Phantom Menace, right?!

I hope I don’t catch the Grembo Zavia virus. 🦠

I believe that the title is nonsense, in typical Zeuhl fashion

I’d like a Trenta Grembo Zavia with an extra shot, please.

I would call this style of music hardjangle

There was a man Hardjangle and he'd dance for you. The old soft shoe

Raucous

I only wear the hardest brick clogs when I listen to hardjangle. It helps me get in the zone.

Dada besides

hey, dan C, good morning

And I didn’t make it past 7th grade, math wise

To you as well mice stro

I want to pair this with Seinfeld reruns

My little Advents are sweating
