It wouldn't be MIR without a search through my entire music collection for one song that I'm sure I have. As my search
drug on I'm seem to remember a similar search for the same song but I cant remember how it turned out. So being as its
MIR I've been listening to things in my collection not listened to in a long time. "TAPES"...I got so many tapes. Open up a
case and a couple "Sting" tapes. I got all "The Police" lps and all the early Sting lps/cassettes...but not this song. Remember
first hearing it on a trip to CA and driving around Monterrey/Carmel on a warm summer evening 1990 or so. Still sounds
great to me..."If I ever lose my faith in you". Then in the surprise video is Robert Downey Jr doing a Sting song with Sting
on Sting's 60th birthday...Driven to Tears. This could leave your ears "Stinging".

Need to keep this section active when most are now dormant on the BJ. "Thank Gawd it was only a Decade Long" was
actually a great decade to me music wise. Pre-internet days and you had no idea what these bands look like or their
stage acts or if they were "flaming gay". Big surge in electronic dance music to my ears. The 80's are 40yrs ago but
enough about that. Today in 2020 I have no favorite radio station/AM/FM. I might listen to KEXP if the KSER transmitter
dint get planted 3 miles from me jamming any further KEXP listening. Loved the KPLU days of great jazz and fun personalities
until it became KNKX and "way too much fucking pledge drives and way too much saying how great they are every 10 minutes".
Taking advantage of my Xfinity package and the 2 best listening "stations" on radio. MC Jazz and MC Sounds of the Seasons "The Pulse".
Completely left off my listening radar is anything else that the rest of the nation is listening to/buying now. If its so great it will find
its way to me. I wrote down a few tunes I heard recently on "The Pulse". I've heard them all before and they sound even better with
a few listenings. That how music works. Play a tune "3-times" and it becomes a personal favorite.

I rarely look at the YouTube homepage for suggestions but tonight I did and I found something.
Allie Sherlock who is Irish and 15yrs old with a "balcony you can do Shakespeare" from and a
powerful singer...and jailbait. There is lots to look/listen to with this sexpot singing and moving
to the groove. Fabio Rodrigues is another star on the guitar and perhaps a career in jazz.

Heard this by Kirsten Edkins today and what a jazz tune. She plays saxaphone. Love the organ playing too.

Canadian band which I followed and heard their songs on CBC-FM over the years. I have vinyl and CD's of Blue Rodeo
which means they are cool.

Its Thanksgiving Eve (USA) and I was thinking of the perfect music for your "virtual Thanksgiving Day dinner".
"Cumbia" of some kind should get the party rolling. I found some in a brief search and this is just a taste. Just a taste.

I never heard of Sarah Jory before. She popped out of a Youtube recommended list and glad she did.
Steel guitar and slide guitar expert from the UK I think. She's been around a while and I can hear/see why.
The 1st video I never thought you could put "facial English" into steel guitar playing but she's got some "good face".
The 2nd video is a live "Amazing Grace" in which she plays the slide guitar. Takes a minute or two to get going
but a splendid example of her great playing. Last but not least she does a remarkable take on the Titanic theme
which always gets to me. Sarah Jory has much material on Youtube so if you like check her out.

Back in the early 1990's CBC's "Brave New Waves" in the darkest hours of the night played things you
never heard before. Back then I was taping the show every night and one show featured some tracks
from a guy I knew from NRBQ one David Greenberger who has created a new niche. The Duplex Planet
double CD came out about 1990 and Brave New Waves played some. Tracks I want to share with you right
now but no one has downloaded the CD to Youtube yet. Duplex Planet is a nursing home and David visits
and interviews residents and puts their stories on a record/track accompanied by excellent background music.
Its funny and enjoyable and hard to find. You can take a chance and buy it at Amazon used for $1.49 if you
are looking for something to get your order free shipping. So I found some newer offerings by David Greenberger
which have a different background music but still going with Duplex Planet residents stories which are always interesting.
I can listen to David talk all day.

There is someone in the world I know that listened to Brave New Waves besides me. Maybe Steam did.
I got about 500 shows on tape from 1985 to 1995. After 1995 I still record the show on vhs tape and
just edited out the stuff I liked which formed my "Free Music Series" tapes which stopped at #196.
Working at the bridge nights I had Brave New Waves on. My JVC ghetto blaster picked up Vancouver BC
easily. You had to up in the darkest hours of the night to listen to this show which I was. Brent Bambury
was the fast talking brainy host that seemed to know everything about the lastest music never before played.
I can appreciate that. Brent left BNW for CBC TV gig. Then it was Patti Schmidt. I really miss that show.
