Witches and Druids and PIrates, oh my!

Greetings and Blessings Upon You! thank you for listening to Murphy's Magick Mess this foggy morning. Looking out the studio window, we see a bit of skyline, but lots of fog and mist to gaze through. Almost makes me think of gazing into a scrying bowl. Just what are people doing out there today? Oh, look! There is someone listening to KZUM and enjoy the variety of music we have to offer. The Mess is just one of many programs for your listening pleasure.

We want to apologize to our online listeners, the streaming audio has been out since sometime last night. It is a problem on the server's end, nothing that we could do about it at the station.

We were without Sir Fluffy Bunny (Damon) this morning. He's been off preparing for Ostara and being a pirate. Do those two ideas mix? I don't know, but it is Damon.

One of our favorite CD's here at the Mess, Om Gaia by Terri Liles Mason, has been nominated for best vocal album and best new age and meditation CD of the year by internet and radio broadcasters. The artist herself has been nominated as best new artist of the year. We are very thrilled to be hearing about that. We have played the title track a number of times over the last several months and can't seem to get enough of it. One of my Trad Sisters in Colorado enjoyed hearing it so much that she called me one morning after the show a few months ago and went "I want!" So I gave her the info on how to order the CD and she went on line and ordered it right away. We are definitely looking forward to hearing more new stuff from Terri Liles Mason in the near future.

Tomorrow starts the Spring 2010 Pledge Drive. We certainly hope to hear from many of our listeners during the pledge drive at KZUM. Murf, Damon, and myself, along with helpers, will be taking calls Sunday the 7th and the 14th during the Mess. And remember, you can always visit the KZUM website to make a pledge.

Union College is playing host to a pirate musical from Thursday the 25th of February through the first weekend in April. That's What Makes Them Pirates, a pirate musical written by Mike Mennard.

ADDENDUM to the show:

1. I would like to apologize to the gentleman who called right as the show was wrapping up. I did intended to get this blog posted right away, but it didn't happen. I found myself running late for a wedding. I do hope that you found everything you were looking for with our play list, though. The song you were asking about is One True God by Kathy Mar off of her My Favorite Sings album. It is available through Amazon.com.
2. We are already beginning to collect pledges for KZUM's Spring Pledge Drive. You can go to KZUM's website and pledge online, call the station at any time to make a pledge (especially during the Mess), or wait for the pledge drive to officially start on the 1st of March and make your pledge then. Either way you do it, when you make your pledge, be sure to tell them it is for Murphy's Magic Mess. your pledges and donations go to support all programming on KZUM, not just the Mess. But by mentioning our show, you tell the station that you enjoy the diversity of programming that KZUM offers. Why not go right over to www.kzum.org and click on the pledge link right now?
   

I think that sums it up for today. Thank you for listening to Murphy's Magic Mess on KZUM-HD Lincoln or on the web at KZUM.org. Stay tuned for our Pirates classics and new music coming your way during the month of March.
