KBRP LP 96.1 Bisbee

This week, the first week of May here in the Northern Hemisphere was celebrated by the old Celts as the dawn of Summer. And considering how long and cold and damp the dark half of the year can be up in those Celtic islands and mainlands, the respect and revelry of the brighter warmer times must have been welcome, indeed.

Of course, in the Southern latitudes this is the passage of Autumn into Winter. But, in both latitudes this time of celebration invokes the crack between worlds, the lifting of veils. Obstructions removed. Faerie.

This week's Eclecti-Celt has been crafted with an ear towards calling in good old Summery stuff: ancient musical instruments, flirtation and consummation, flowers and sacred fires. Old and new, this show acknowledges and celebrates what has not been forgotten.

The second half of a shift away from the deadly anxiety afflicting our sometimes beautiful species. This week’s Eclecti-Celt programme takes us into that sonorous, unfortunately--booziest, and balmiest of Irish celebrations, the: Feast Day of Saint Patrick. Now listen, you dirt worshipping tree huggers out there, cut me some slack. I’m one of you! And I’ll be the first to chime in that Patrick was an arrogant, conniving, misogynistic, fanatic. But, you have to understand this holiday provides immense and sanctified license to play absolutely brilliant Irish music. Songs and tunes guaranteed to make you weep with remorse and/or joy--and thirsty. One of Bisbee’s own bands will be playing this very music—in their own humble way, of course—on Thursday, the 17th of March, from 5pm to probably past 8:00pm. Where? The Hitching Post Saloon. You know...across from B & D Hardware in the Warren District. This week's Eclecti-Celt playlist represents professional interpretations of the second half of what Bisbee's band will be performing oooooLIVE. With love, sláinte!
