2017 was a good year for Howard Gently. It was a weird year for Self Help Radio. My family (wife & pets) had moved back to Texas but I couldn't find a place for Self Help Radio there but kind folks in Kentucky continued to air it on a station called WLXU. Though my friend Russell lived in the Metroplex, we communicated most commonly on the computer, usually talking all Saturday afternoon long, ending by improvising a bit for the show. It seems Howard Gently showed up on nearly every episode of Self Help Radio that year. Now that Russell is gone, I am profoundly grateful that I have these recordings. & I hope that in sharing them I make you a fraction of the fan I am of him.
These are the 103rd to 114th appearances of Howard Gently on the show, airing starting on September 6 to ending on November 29, 2017. That's an awkward way to write that. Anyway, it's twelve bits plus music from shows that aired between early September & late November 2017. Russell would have tuned 59 years old yesterday. I wish I had done some kind of Howard Gently retrospective in his lifetime.
Listen to the show now either at the KBOO web page or at the Self Help Radio web page. You might need the username SHR & the password selfhelp at the ladder. I started with one of Russell's songs, then played a song from the show & the bit from that show. Details are below.
As Dr Gently would say, "Delighted."
