KBRP LP 96.1 Bisbee

Greetings all,

This week of Eclecti-Celt is for yourself and myself and for all our friends. Friendship and music eventually lead to dancing. SO THEN, make room inside or outside or both for the movement and grooving which is commensurate with this beautiful music. Some of it rowdy, some of it moody, but all of it worthy of tapping your toes, swaying your hips and grabbing a partner--even your if partner is a shadow of your imagination. Dance music this is, and always was. Sláinte to yourselves.

Hello, Far and Wide...

Here in southeastern Arizona this season of monsoon rains is drifting past the landscapes and into memory. Left behind palpable and still vibrant is the the wild diversity of greenery. Accompanying this all-too transient verdure are the profusion of bugs and bats, and other species migrating from here to there and far and wide. This week's Eclecti-Celt then, my palms held together in reverence and head bowed in gratitude for the RAINS--so so loved and sought desperately in these increasingly arid mountains. Arid times. But NOT musically! Sláinte, indeed.

Holy Kamolie y'all...

I've had a week of technical conundrums. Switching Malus devices has bumfuzzled me to the point of insomnia. iPad refuses to consistently talk with MacMac. They seem to have irreconcilable differences. Petty--in my opinion--but intransigent. So, naturally I thought that bringing in a mediator/big stick, a spankin' new MacBook, would carry the day and this show into the rest of the decade. They TRY to talk to each other--and my gigabytes of music--they seem to WANT to talk to each other. But, after much trial and much error the dialects are babble. We WILL persevere.

So, here's an older Eclecti-Celt for this week. A good show. A lovely show. sigh. Enjoy...and sláinte.

Greetings from pre-autumnal southeastern Arizona...still monsoon green, but drying inevitably.

As all green things come to a close, we get back to our labours, such as creating works of art or otherwise altering the everyday into new imagined forms. No more rambles here! Eclecti-Celt this week is put together thanks to the inspiration of Sam--working, grooving away in her studio on Monday nights, accompanied by our Celtic music. Thank you, Sam! This week's programme is made for focusing on your artistry, or sweeping the floors, or making apple butter, or joining pieces of wood, or hanging out on your porch smoking a cigar--or other herbage. This week's show is made for chilling--whatever the chilling activity may be. You might even find yourselves DANCING. That sounds like work to me, but these are labours of love, eh? Sláinte all.

OK,

I’ve been gone from this show, Eclecti-Celt, for a month or so.Traveling—cautiously, tenuously, expectantly curious of the next bend in the road, cloud in the sky, wave upon the shores.You just gotta get away sometimes.And you just gotta come home and back to the labors of love.This programme being a huge chunk of important.

This programme this week begins, thanks to Jhan, with grandmother juju from Allison Russell.Progressing through the wild and weird interpretations of a wondrously wide range of Celtic artists.

Welcome to this show, Eclecti-Celt, love.

& Sláinte

Dear all of you...

An inspirational request from the Old Pueblo. Not like a pious ecclesiastical summons. More along the lines of a kilt-lifting, foot-stomping, caber-tossing, and of course, a Highland Clearances heart-moving request for this week’s Eclecti-Celt programme. As I look at the playlist I notice the absence of so many other Scottish artists that ought to have been included. Maybe next time, so.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT, is the homage to my mum. Ninety-two years older tomorrow. Most stubborn individual I've ever met, hence her mostly joy-filled longevity. YAY, DEE!

So, until next time here's to your continued good health and…"FREEDOM!"

Greetings...

Last week’s Eclecti-Celt was aptly themed: Wistful, melancholy, yearning. THIS WEEK is just the bloody opposite. It’s just for the joy of it all. Why the hell not, I say? I mean, the world—and this radio programme—has been in such a state, I think it’s about time we just went for it and played tunes and songs of veritable joy, happiness and had ourselves a bit of FUN.

So there!

And sláinte, bigtime!

Ahoy there Celtic music lovers!

This week's Eclecti-Celt...LIVE...is in homage to, propitiation of, celebration of, and still yearning for...RAIN. The annual summer rains of the Southwest. We call them "monsoons", though in fact, they are not strictly "monsoons". But, when they come, they come with fierce winds and ginormous purple red gray black towering thunderheads. Drenching fat cool rains that quench the gasping desert valleys and mountains with LIFE. We get bitchy without the monsoons, and we get bleary happy and awestruck when they come. Here's to the RAIN.

A big wet sláinte to you,

Mahoney

Greetings from rain-blessed Bisbee.

Bear with me a moment and we'll get to the show...

Just Mythical! That is what steady rains make of parched arid landscapes. Leafless gray oaks swell with pink and green foliage. The burnt strawtextured grasslands are pouncing on my eyeballs with so many shades of green that I forgot there were such colours. Formerly desiccated canyons and arroyo's burble and flow with cool clear liquid life. Sunsets have turned into extravagant displays of towering clouds of unimaginable hues and saturation's. All this gushing verbiage to say: I'm blownaway by the Powers of Nature. Easy it is to understand and relate to how our Ancestors marveled at, and mythologized, their intimate phenomena. This week's Eclecti-Celt reflects in tunes and song the wonder at the Mysteries that they perceived. To your health. Sláinte. To the Rains. Go raibh maith agat, Báisteach!

Hallo Hallo!

This week for Eclecti-Celt a celebration and observation of the siege and taking of the Bastille, way back in 1789. Why, you ask? Well...many of the men and women imprisoned by the French monarchy within--and subsequently liberated by the storming of the notorious prison--were Breton, outspoken critics and rabblerousers against the overlordship and ethnic cleansing decreed from Paris over the Celtic peoples of Brittany. THAT'S why this week's show. Songs and tunes from still- Celtic northwestern France. OOLALA! Et SLÁINTE!

Hello,

A couple of days ago, a friend of ours and yours passed away of a massive attack on his heart. His name was Dave Donohue, and he was an inspired singer, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and absolute character. He hailed from the wide world, and specifically, Ireland. Familiar as the back of his hand with the halls of architecture, yet his mind was full of music. His voice was clear and articulate, his musicianship played without bashfulness or even conceit--just FULL ON. And, he was kind of a grump, but a man who loved deeply and steadfastly. And Dave Donohue loved his family the wide world over, even to the mountain town of Bisbee. I played tunes and songs with him twice during his visits to his dear Bisbee friends. It was great craic, to say the least! And with his passing a few days past, the summer rains have opened up over our parched graytan sere southeastern Arizona homelands. Quenching. Thank you, Dave. Sláinte.
