Other ghostly and supernatural stories shared by some of our listeners: Lily, a former minion on the show, shared this with me via Facebook, "On your conversation of animals, there is a story of St. John Bosco who was being hunted by assassins. Out of nowhere there was a big mastiff-like dog that started following him around. One night it appeared in his house. John tried to leave and the dog wouldn't let him. it sat in front of the door and growled at him and bared it's teeth. One story said it sat on him, I think. The assassins were waiting outside. The dog didn't move until they left.
"Now, I think the saint was just a saint because he was stubborn and upheld the church's point of view."
"Satyagraha, the power of truth, was Gandhi's term for non-violent resistance, and is the name of Jeffrey Fisher's off-the-grid retreat in the San Jacinto Mountains where he composed and recorded these pieces. The music, featuring bass violin, depicts both the peacefulness and intensity of nature, the colors and textures of the land and reveals musical influences from the entire planet." - the back cover of Satygraha - Songs of the Earth by Jeffrey Fisher, Two Birds Flying, Healing Music of the Southwest
Satyagraha is one of the newest CDs that Murf and I have received for play on the Mess. We have both enjoyed the collection immensely and hope that our listeners have as well.

We also gave her a wonderful little surprise, Dale Bacon joined us this morning. A full house indeed! Murf, Damon, Stephanie, Corwin, Dale AND myself. A lot of bodies crammed into a little room.

Like many of our listeners, you either love or you hate Kenny Klein's Dead Gerbil Jam. Dale Bacon hates it and he wrote and recorded his thoughts on the song. We played that for the first time ever on the Mess, Anti-Gerbil Song is a funny take on how some people react to the song. It would appear that Murf will be using that as a bait during future pledge drives. :)
A LITTLE MORE ABOUT DALE BACON: Dale Bacon is a long time fixture of the Lincoln Pagan Community. A druid and story teller, most everyone Lincoln seems to know who he is. Either long time listeners of KZUM, local history buffs, or even just your casual about town person, Dale is a popular guy. He's been dabbling in filmography for years and has recently begun releasing a series of DVDs. Song of Amergin was the first release and is available at Pangaia Metaphysical Store. His latest release, A Haunted History of Lincoln - the Capitol City, was released on October 6th and is available through Pangaia as well as Here & Back Again and the Next Millennium. This is the first installment in his series on Supernatural Nebraska. Future releases include a history of witchcraft in Nebraska, which Murf and myself are mentioned in.
Tune into Pagan-Musings this Sunday morning at 12am to hear a segment from Haunted History.
PLEDGE REMINDER: Just because KZUM is not currently in pledge drive doesn't mean that your listeners can't make pledges. You can visit KZUM on the web and make a pledge through their secure server or you can the radio station (474-5086) at any time to make your pledge. Be sure and mention Murphy's Magic Mess when making your pledge!
Murphy's Magic Mess for Sunday, September 13, 2009
Haelsa and welcome! Thank you once again for listening to Murphy's Magic Mess on KZUM 89.3, Lincoln's Community Radio Station. In case you didn't know, we are live every Sunday morning at 9am CST and can be heard of 89.3FM, Time Warner Cable's channel 10 (Lancaster County, NE), and online at www.kzum.org.
This morning was quite the trip. For a change Damon was actually being quiet, even off the air. Something about not enough sleep and being lulled into a semi-slumber by the lovely music by Matthew Labarge. We did surprise Murf with a belated birthday present: a 12x6” patch for her denim jacket of a green Asian dragon. As she said, it looks a lot like the dragon she sees when her totem visits her. So it was quite the fitting gift. She expresses her thanks to Damon, Eddie, and myself for the gift.
I was very pleased to see that Dale Bacon brought in the audio tracks for his DVD Song of Amergin. If you are interested in purchasing the actual DVD, visit Pangaia Metaphysical Store on the web at www.pangaiastore.com and click on the product list. You can also pick up a copy at this year's Mystic Fest in Omaha at the Pangaia Metaphysical Store's table during the event. The folks at Pangaia are looking forward to doing more work with Dale on his DVD and audio productions.
As I am sure you noted, we also had two poems that Dale Bacon had recorded. Both of them were provided to him by Nadine Murphy. Her adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's Folk of the Hill and one of Nadine's own poems, Three White Deer. Pangaia will be contacting Dale Bacon about carrying that CD as well.

Speaking of Dale Bacon, he is the host of the Ghosts of Lincoln Guided Tour every October. You can hear his soothing storyteller's voice as he guides you through some of the ghostly hotspots of Lincoln. This tour is sponsored in part by Exploring unexplained Phenomena (Saturday mornings at 10:30am on KZUM) hosted by Scott Colbourn (The Way Home, now closed) and StarTran. I will provide more details on this year's tour schedule as they become available to me.
Next week is our Mabon show. Expect lots of harvest songs and celebrations of the Autumn.
The 27th is my grand experiment. KZUM's station manager is going to be certifying me on the boards and other equipment during the show. I get to put together the entire show, from start to finish. Murf, Damon, and Eddie may be bringing in some of their own selections for the show, but otherwise it is up to me. And with Murf and the station manager's permission, I am going to introduce a slightly new concept to the show. Pagan news, talk, and interview. My first planned interview for the show is with Charlie Ordorizzi of Next Millennium in Omaha, the host of Mystic Fest 2009. We will be talking briefly about the history of Mystic Fest and what is happening with this year's show. We may also talk about Next Millennium and the growth of Paganism in Nebraska over the last decade or so.
Remember to check out Murphy's Magic Mess on MySpace at www.myspace.com/Murphysmagickmess. You do not have to be a member of MySpace to view this profile. Damon is still working on getting things correctly set up to post each week's show (for a two week period) as a video file. This means that you will be able to listen to the show whenever you want during those two weeks, but you will not be able to download. FCC regulations prevent us from being able to podcast the shows for download, so we are using the MySpace video option as a means of sharing the show for a short time so that more people can enjoy it no matter what time of day they are able to listen.
And don't forget to listen Pagan-Musings every Saturday night at 10pm CST on www.blogtalkradio.com/Pagan-Musings, brought to you in part by Pangaia Metaphysical Store and the Pagan Alliance Netwrok. Hosts RevKess and KaliSara bring you discussion on everything from advice for newbies to Sacred Sexuality. They will soon be adding interviews and news from around the globe on issues that pertain the Pagan movement. You can listen or download past shows at BlogTalkRadio and join them in chat during the live broadcast at either BlogTalkRadio or http://paganalliancenetwork.ning.com/chat.
