Self Help Radio 022222: Crickets

 


(Original image here.*)

Despite the fact that I don't think I've ever seen a cricket in Oregon, I felt that there might be some crickets hanging around in their - let's call them apartments? - waiting for spring to come so they could be outside, who might enjoy some cricket tunes.

Not that humans can't enjoy them as well.  That's the magic of music - it was be about something not entirely in one's experience, & one can enjoy it.  So even if you don't count yourself among the crickets of Oregon, you can understand the words to the songs & the interviews as well.  I'm assuming you know English.  Sadly, most crickets do not.

Listen to the show now or if you want to wait until the crickets come out, fine.  You can do that too.  It's at the KBOO website & also at the Self Help Radio website.  At the latter place, you'll need a username which is SHR & a password which is selfhelp.  Just chirping at the computer will do not do it.

Stay warm!  Especially if you're cold-blooded, like crickets.
