KBRP LP 96.1 Bisbee

Hiya Everyone!

Jaunty rhythms. Lively tunes. Melodic songs. Not necessarily in a major key, but many of this weeks offerings on the Eclecti-Celt programme can be found to bounce right along and tend to the cheery side. For a change, eh? Because we need it, eh? So, here it is: no airs, dirges or lament, per sé. So, do some yoga, wash some dishes, sweep the floors, snuggle, and what-have-you. This is the show for you this week. Sláinte bigtime!

Greetings to you all...

This week’s Eclecti-Celt program features much ‘spoken words’. A show I have been wanting to bring you for some time. Much beautiful and poignant poetry crafted by some of the finest lyrical minds and deepest souls. Of special note is the 30 minute Scottish Poetry Library interview with Irish poet, Paula Meehan. And of course, there will be much soulful, and even irreverent, music counterpointing the words of these great bards.

Sláinte for certain. And please let me add this little bit for the Sky Islands and the San Pedro River...let it rain.

AHOY THERE!

So, here we are, just past midsummer and the royal ‘we” have been ensconced in these beautiful—DRY—mountains for months. We were raised within sight and sound of the Pacific. Hardly peaceful, at least not all the time. See, we’re already wistfully reminiscing. Screw that. This week’s Eclecti-Celt, we are just going to regale you with maritime, sea-faring and the salty songs and tunes of fellow Oceaniacs!

Sláinte…until we find ourselves body surfing together!

Summertime, and where's our sultry replenishing seasonal rainstorms? Alas, just over...there, somewhere. That's the show this week: SUMMER. At least the first half of the show. The second half I'll be winging it. I have no idea. Should be good craic, eh?

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!"

Hey there..

The summer rainy season, known as The Monsoons, here in the mountains and valleys of Arizona and northwestern México, have theoretically commenced. Unfortunately, the parched landscapes and wildlife, and highly irritable human beings, have received—thus far— spotty and merely gentle spits and sprinkles, and very sparse replenishing downpours. Therefore, this week’s Eclecti-Celt is a bit of a Rain Dance, a plea in musical form to the humid stingy heavens above. A superstitious beseechment, if you will. So be it. That’s how I roll. As always, I wish you and yours: sláinte.

Dearest all...

Well, this week’s Eclecti-Celt is decidedly leaning to the Trad side of the hedgerows. How or why that happened I just do not know. It just flowed out that way from inside my music library and my trusty ear. Even still, and because of these gorgeous traditional interpretations…this show will make you feel reel happy. Promise.

And ahoy, DARRELL and other of the bodhránista persuasion...nearly 2 hours of good practice tunes and songs! WOOHOO!

And sláinte all. Truly.

Hello hello....

OK. Here's Eclecti-Celt for this week! Five minutes or greater.

Each track--with the exception of ONE--are five minutes or greater. Long enough to kick off yer shoes or flipflops and get comfy. Or get dancing! Please...enjoy. I will, bringing these fantastic artists to you. As always.

Ahoy there...

Seems like this was the right Eclecti-Celt for right now. “EDGY”. Certainly encompasses my frame of mind and moods of late. I don’t have a lot to say in this missive. The tunes and songs will—I believe—accomplish the communications. They always do, really. Here’s to you good people. As best I can lift the glass: Sláinte.

OH…by the way, the playlist here does not reflect about a half hour of this week's show. Purchased music that iTunes will not download to my computer no matter how much I plead or ladled obscenities at the machine.

Greetings from Bisbee and KBRP, Bisbee's Radio for the People!

Well, here it is, the week we see the world celebrating the novel, “Ulysses”, by James Joyce. The event is called Bloomsday, and features readings from this monumental tome and music and traveling from pub to tavern and general Irish Edwardian shenanigans. Due to this global pandemic, of course, the fun will be quite subdued. But, this week on Eclecti-Celt we shall do our best to Bloomsday and carry on.

Be safe out yonder and lift the book and toast to Joyce’s indomitable wordsmithing. Sláinte all!

Oh hello everybody...

Two weeks ago, Eclecti-Celt was aptly themed: Wistful, melancholy, yearning. And then LAST WEEK, we got a lot of the rowdy on! WooHoo!

THIS WEEK…it’s back to the moody, pensive and airy. BUT, it’s still really CATCHY, these songs and tunes. More like en-chanting. I can’t help it—it’s the times. So, you may fall asleep listening to this week’s show, but you’ll likely have sultry green dreams.

To your health and happiness. Sláinte!

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!

Hello from Shelter...

Wistful, melancholy, yearning. Yearning to be out and about with little to zero agenda. Just wander. This then is musical wanderlust, as brought to us by musicians and bards from Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, Canada, and Ireland. Eclecti-Celt.

“All that is gold does not glitter / Not all those who wander are lost / The old that is strong does not wither / Deep roots are not reached by the frost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring.

Have yourselves a splendid journey!

Sláinte.

Friends and neighbors...

Sometimes it’s well nigh impossible not to dip down into those Dark Places. Sometimes it’s actually a good idea to go there and plumb their Depths: alluring and validating. Thankfully, ‘sometimes’ is not All the time.

This week’s Eclecti-Celt found me hitting the darker music pretty hard—for the first half hour. Then something—someone—happened: Rónán Ó Snodaigh. “Raise the Road.” The beat and rhythm and lyrics turned what could have been a show that made you want to cram a pillow into your breathing tube—into INVIGORATION. At least for myself. Go raith maith agat.

And I hope you, too. Sláinte, truly.

Hello hello, you good sheltering people you...

This week’s Eclecti-Celt thematic prestidigitation was suggested by Ms. K. Sherwood, one of the many of us going slightly STIR CRAZY with COVID-19 sheltering-in-place. And so, here have a playlist reflecting one of my top two things to do…having: OUTDOOR ADVENTURES.

Horses, smuggling, trout-fishing, bike-riding, shpelunking, ships and sailing, and of course, faeryenticement and other Bealtainne entanglements!

Stay pandemic free y’all. But, if you can, because you must, go get yourselves some outdoor adventures!

Sláinte!

Friends and Family...

Without a clue nor wiff of inspiration, listless even—a fairly overhanging COVID cloud these days—I had a radio show to prepare. For YOU. And so, I pressed on into my library, starting with “A” in Albums. I thought of Scott upthere in BC hunting for his ancestors and saw the perfect track from the Afro Celt Sound System. A. From there I went down to a beautiful “B” from Wales. You see where this Eclecti-Celt is headed now, I’m sure.

And so this week we have a delicious Celtic alphabet musical porridge. How about that? Thank you, Music. Thank you, Muses. Thank YOU!

To your Health. Sláinte.

HELLO hello...

OHMYGOD, from all points on the compass, from all the Four Directions, the WIND has been breezing and gusting to the edge of human psychological stability for months now. Night and day. It’s hard not to curse the Wind; we likely deserve every atom of irritating ionic energy. BUT, PLEASE, I BESEECH you Wind, at least blow gently part of the time.

AND SO, I offer YOU this program of Celtic music with WIND and GALES and STORM riven through it.

Jaysus.

Sláinte, everyone.
