but have not for awhile. Thanks for the reminder.

I've been watching and listening to some of the deep end sessions...I know a lot of those folks, but since the festival scene is sick with COVID I've not been able to see them.

comes along. For example, there's often a lot of stuff in open threads that I will fire up.

I listened to the Arhoolie Anniversary livestream yesterday and may revisit it if it is still playable. Off and on throughout the week and day I work on one of my OTs, which involves finding specific tunes by specific artists to throw up there, so that is an influence because of You Tube's nasty habit of throwing up interesting stuff in the sidebar to lead me down various rabbit holes. I also have a very large and very eclectic collection of CDs ripped onto my various devices such that I can select specific artists, songs, albums or whatever to play.

If I don't think I'll be interrupted, I sometimes have my phone read content heavy e-mails, magazine articles and the like or pick and choose You Tube clips, and if I just want ambient background and don't care if it is interrupted, then Jazz Radio, any of numerous stations depending on my mood, Sirius, sort of the same, but mostly the jazz or blues stations because so much of it is too pop, and if I'm in between moods and modes I have my own "station" on LiveXLive (used to be Slacker) that is extremely eclectic but super light on fluff.

So, prompted by that question, the fact that it is morning get-your-act-together-time I believe I'll start with this and see where it leads me (If you can find this CD, buy it, trust me):

be well and have a good one

Look forward to 'tuning in' sometime.
Used to listen to the King Biscuit Flower Hour
way back in the daze.

The program was broadcast on Sunday nights from 1973 until 2005, although new programming ceased in 1993 and previous shows were repeated from that point. During its prime, the program was carried by more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. The show's name was derived from the influential blues radio show King Biscuit Time, which was sponsored by the King Biscuit Flour Co., combined with the hippie phrase "flower power".

Although closely associated with classic rock in its later years, the King Biscuit Flower Hour dedicated much air time to new and emerging artists, including new wave and modern rock artists in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

King Biscuit Time celebrated its 17,000th broadcast on May 13, 2014. KBT has more broadcasts than the Grand Ole Opry and American Bandstand. From 1951 until his death in 2018, the program was hosted by the award-winning "Sunshine" Sonny Payne[2][3] who opened each broadcast with "pass the biscuits, 'cause it's King Biscuit Time!" Before Payne, the show was hosted by Hugh Smith,[4] from 1943–1951. Over the years the biggest names in blues have been associated with the program, and important blues artists continue to perform live.

cheers!
