Dale Bacon and the Song of Amergin on the Mess

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.

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 27^th 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.

Once again, thank you for listening to the Mess!

Murphy's Birthday Show

Hello, everyone! And thank you for listening to Murf's birthday show. We were so excited this morning. We had everything set up to record the show. But guess what. Silly me, I forgot to disable the external microphone on the laptop and we not only recorded the show, but we recorded EVERYTHING that went on off air. Banter, kavitching about politics, plotting future shows and phone calls. So, the recording is not good. Another no go, but at least we know how to do it now. LOL Yay for technology. It is the Mess, so it takes a while to get everything all figured out whenever KZUM decides to change the devices around on us.

It was a great show, though. Lots of Murf's favorites. Phil Coulter to SJ Tucker, Lisa Hilton to local artist Gary Redden. And there will be more of her favorites to come. Just be patient...

...The show on September 6th is not going to be our regular programming. Back by popular demand, KZUM is doing their Blues Blowout! From 6am Saturday the 5th through 11:59pm Monday the 7th KZUM is playing nothing but Blues music. All other programming has been preempted during that time. Damon and Ed will be running the boards on the 6th, providing our die hard listeners, and our Blues fans, with New Age and Pagan friendly Blues....or at least as close as they can get and still be Blues. Be ready for instrumentals by Lisa Hilton of her Twilight and Blues, and lyrical and instrumental Blues by Pagan artists such as Leigh Anne Hussey and Kenny Klein. They will also be playing more mainstream Blues with a New Agey flare.

We are moving into the month of September. Can you believe it? Fall is almost upon us. Of course with the wonderful weather we have been having the last few days, it is believeable. And with Fall just around the corner that means that Mabon is very close as well.

On the 13th we are planing to play a lot more of Murf's favorites, as two hours is far from enough time to cover it all. We will also be playing some of my own favorites, my birthday is the 14th.

Murf wanted to thank Corwin, Christine A, Cathy, Ed B and all the rest for their birthday wishes.

TODAY'S PLAYLIST:
1.Wytches Chant 98, Inkubus Sukkubus, Away with the Fairies
2.Centering, Louis Landon, Solo Piano for Peace

As you heard and can tell by the playlist, we had a lot more music than usual. Without the other two Hyenas, it is easier to play music, but we did miss the banter and fun of having them there.

Murf and I wish Damon and Ed much luck with the Blues version of the Mess. Murf is taking the day off to relax and I am going to be in the great out of doors helping my mother with her Moving/Retirement sale all weekend. (If interested in taking a look at what she is offering, contact me in email and I will give you the location of the sale.) Murf and I will be back with the Mess on the 13th with lots more of your favorites (and ours).

Greetings everyone! I do hope you liked the show this weekend. If I may toot my horn, I thought the show was uber fantastic and very smooth....for the first time I was behind the boards for the show the WHOLE show! lol Yes, I am the crazy person who selected the majority of the music for the show this time around. A little different, but still keeping with the general theme as it is put forth by Murf. It would seem to that I a getting better at this kind of thing. :)

It was quite humorous to watch Murf AND Damon scribbling down my play list. Murf so that she can add it to the playlist archive on the website and Damon so he can use it for the MySpace page. Woot! And only about five or so pieces that were not selected by me. :) I think I did pretty good and at least one of my listeners concurs. Thanks, Stormcrow!

Greetings and well met, our friends and listeners! We had a slow start to our first program, due to technical difficulties. We did manage to pull it off, though! Thank you to Aut and Lostrayne on the East Coast for showing their support in the chat room and listening to Kali and I get our wits about us.

The primary purpose of this first episode was to test the waters and see if we could get most of what we were doing figured out. I think we did manage to do so, but only time will tell. Our next episode will hopefully have less technical errors in programming and more success with our conversational continuity.

I would like to apologize for the dead air time towards the end of the show, it would seem that I somehow lost my connection with Skype for a minute and didn't realize until after I had been babbling for a minute or two without anyone able to hear me. I hope to be able to catch that before it happens again. But, for a first time out, I think it was rather successful! KaliSara was such a trooper in putting up with me while I was learning the ropes.

One last note, a correction actually, before going on to specifics about this episode and future shows. I did not have a calendar in front of me so I misspoke about the upcoming show This is My Athame. It is scheduled for Saturday, August 15^th, I had said the 10^th, which is a Tuesday. A little hard to do a Saturday show on Tuesday. My apologies for any confusion.
