I'm sorry to hear you've been through so much lately. I can't imagine it's easy to share that, but I'm glad to hear you're pulling through, little by little. I've always appreciated how your show gives us a break from the chaos around us.
Jeff Rogers (host)
8:50:14 PM
Darren, I'm not sure! K G, thank you!
Bama Dan
8:56:38 PM
OMG, NOT NEIL YOUNG! LOL! Seriously, always good to have you share music with us, Jeff. :-)
Jeff Rogers (host)

Thanks Bama Dan! Believe it or not there are weeks that I don't play Neil!!

Yeah, my guess is a crystal radio tuner tank. https://www.lessmiths.com/~kjsmith/crystal/blitz.shtml
Jeff Rogers (host)
9:01:02 PM
Oh...you mean on the Tom Waits cut? He's been in to all kinds of analog tweaks through the years. I'll check your link.
K G
9:03:03 PM
That was my first, thought, Darren. With capacitors (one variable) in parallel with an inductor and a variable resistor, all leading to a speaker, that was my first thought. The one catch is that make a classic crystal radio, the 2 parallel lines (capacitor) in the top horizontal line should be a diode (or in days of yore, a crystal with a cat's whisker)
K G
9:04:24 PM
Having flashbacks to 1978, when a teacher gave me a spiral bound booklet: "Radios that Work for Free" on how to make a crystal set, incl, winding the coil on a paper tower tube with magnet wire.

My goodness! Ya'll are so technical!!! I now wish hat I'd found this back in my young years!

Jeff- with your stated topics of global/pol/life/milenenum, you might like to check out Las Cafeteras. They had a set streamed last weekend from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in Golden Gate Park. Bunch of (former) kids from East LA, learning to play son jarocho (the Vercacruz sound: Afro-Mex) on homemade instruments. They've evolved a bit further, but very life-afirming, pro-person (if that's a term), and they put on a heck of a show.
Jeff Rogers (host)
9:11:21 PM
K G...Thank you for the nudge in their direction! I'll check them out! Always a delight o be guided to something new and alive!

I remember when "Dream of the Blue Turtles" came out. My best friend in grad school in denver just got a CD player and this new disc. We sat in his 'garden level' apartment in Denver ($200/mo) and gave it a first spin.
K G
9:19:04 PM
Wow. Can't mistake that guitar for anyone else. I still want to see Mark Knoffler live someday.
Jeff Rogers (host)
9:21:04 PM
I sorta forgot what a great album it is. Kris, my sweetheart, requested If You Love Somebody Set Them Free at her memorial! That request put me back into the album's orbit! $200.00 per mo for a garden apt! Those were the days!
Bama Dan
9:21:10 PM
@KG: 1985 and Dream of Blue Turtles...I was living in LA. Rent was high then, I thought, but nothing like now. :-)
K G
9:22:15 PM
Songs that remind us of people who have passed out of our lives. Bittersweet, but goo that we can still feel.

SPeaking of the days of yore, remember when a thong was something you wore on your feet?

We have to keep a sense of humor, don'chaknow?
Jeff Rogers (host)
9:32:03 PM
Indeed. If you can't laugh at the ridiculousness of these times you're screwed!!
K G
9:32:46 PM
But, indeed, we are, and that's why we're here for a break from that!
Jeff Rogers (host)
9:34:59 PM
This song always reminds me of those days when the light was bright and we hadn't yet discovered the rough edges of the world
K G
9:36:01 PM
You put that quite eloquently, Jeff, both in your words and you show.

Beth Orton is great. Followed by a nice cover of John Prine (whom I got to see in a junior high school auditorium on the West side of Cleveland. What a powerful performance!)
Bama Dan
9:47:34 PM
Whoa! Impressive!
Bama Dan

John Prine in a high school auditorium...in West Cleveland!? What a gift!
