Yes, they have that effect, don't they! And I recommend FRÄNDER II. Thanks for listening!

So glad you enjoyed it, Papa, and thanks for listening!

Yes, most of this came to me from a brief flowering of interest in Scandinavian folk music in the U.S. world music sphere, but it didn’t gain much of a wider audience and my station has received comparatively little since. The Frander tracks do come from an album received last fall though. Glad you enjoyed this and thanks for listening. I really liked your new one and wondered who plays the sax with Ginsberg on that one poem.

Thanks for the feedback. That track you like on mine it is the voice of Jack Kerouac reading his Haiku poems. There are two saxophonists actually who accompany him: Al Cohn and Zoot Sims. Anything else on that upload is by Ginsberg or Dylan.

Kerouac, not Ginsberg! And I had had Ginsberg's voice for comparison. Thanks for posting that about Cohn and Sims.

Love that image, John! My evening porch listens do often go out into the back yard but nothing so intrusive. With the exception of the clavichord and the traditional singer before it, these were all things the radio station received, most in the heyday of the label Northside, which I spotlighted in a winter mix a few years ago. I'm glad you liked the clavichord. I have never met the composer but have known their wife, new music violinist/composer Maya Bennardo, since her childhood here in Toledo. That piece is the last section of a longer piece with wide-ranging international influences on the other sections.

Have a most enjoyable weekend yourself!

So glad you liked it, Zvonimir and thanks for listening!

Cheers to you, Simon, and thanks for listening! The FRÄNDER tracks are from a fairly recent album, FRÄNDER II, but other things go back a few years or quite a few years.
