It's very windy outside now. In a little over an hour, I'll be doing my other radio show, "Cradle To Grave," on 95.7 fm WLXL in town, online at lexington community radio dot org. I think today's show will be fine, because I've already done it. The show is pre-recorded. You knew that, right?
There's a part of me that feels the need to apologize for the low energy of the show. I recorded the airbreaks very early Friday morning. I'm talking 4am. Everyone in the house was asleep - even the cats, who generally have a blast at night. In fact, if I'm remembering the process as it happened, I appear to perk up late in the show, when I am talking about how some of the musicians died (botched tonsillectomy, aneurysm after a show at Carnegie Hall). It makes me come across as a kind of ghoul, I think. Apologies for that. I want to say something like, "It was the caffeine kicking in," but since I don't drink caffeine, that can't be the case.
Maybe it was the sun coming up. I rarely am awake at sunrise, it's always a little thrilling to watch the world brighten slowly. Where I sit, at my computer, where I also record my airbreaks & the other nonsense for Self Help Radio, I have a window to my left, & I can look into our sun room. The world was waking up, maybe it helped me wake up too.
However, for most of the show, I am what Donald Trump would call "low energy."
This doesn't mean the show will suck. There's a very good chance it will suck, of course - it's a radio show I am doing, after all. But I think the music is great. Birthdays today include Serge Gainsbourg, Emmylou Harris, & Marvin Gaye. Deaths on April 2 include Kentucky's own Cliff Carlisle, plus Buddy Rich & Edwin Starr. The music on the show makes it all worthwhile, I think.
Yeah, seriously - ignore the me talking. It'll pass. Enjoy the show instead!
