Self Help Radio 032715: Blue Skies

(Actual photo of the skies above SHR HQ)

So magical!  I did a show this morning about blue skies & all the rain + grey clouds of the day just disappeared.  The wonder of radio!  The delusional powers of chance!

I guess I was welcoming spring, & so I played a lot of songs about blue skies today.  You can see the songs I played below.  I also played a Dr. Howard Gently inspirational tape, I interviewed David Fruchter of the Blue Sky Initiative, & had a conversation with a disembodied voice on the air.  Wow!  There's so much room in a big blue sky!

The show is now at the Self Help Radio website.  Pay attention to the login/password information on the front page.  Unless you just want to look at playlists, & maybe play the show in your head, like some people do with baseball looking at statistics.  That might be preferable to listening to me talk!

Also, if you heard the show live this morning, you'll know that a large chunk of my programming was filled with University of Kentucky students reading "the news" from wire services.  They have been edited out of the broadcast & more music added.  It's like 12% more show!

As always, thanks for listening!
