Lay Your Troubles Down: Music I Like 2/24/2019 - In Memoriam: Peter Tork and Kofi Burbridge

A sad show to have to put together, but one filled with lots of joyful, uplifting music. Peter Tork, bassist, singer, songwriter, and, most famously, a member of the Monkees, died on Feb. 21st at the age of 77. Kofi Burbridge, multi-instrumentalist, keyboardist for the Tedeschi Trucks Band, went on Feb. 15th at the age of 57.

In addition to playing a bunch of music the two men performed, I mixed things up by playing tracks that inspired or were inspired by the sort of music they played. I don't mix things up so drastically as often on the show as I used to, but I love it when I do. In this case, the contrast between fun, British Invasion-style pop and gritty, soul and gospel infused rock is pretty dramatic. Two straight hours of the same thing, even for the biggest fan, can sometimes get boring. Besides, it's a lot of fun to make a show that's as eclectic as I can. Whatever, here's the playlist and show link.

And we've only just begun And I feel like having fun: Music I Like 02/17/2019 Powerful Pop

I thought it was going to be a totally amazing power popish show. It still sort of was, but technical difficulties kept it off the air for nearly half an hour. Instead of ditching the show, I dropped most of the tracks by bands I've played recently. It was annoying, but then that's the way the community-based streaming radio cookie crumbles. What're you gonna do about it, except buck up and keep playing.

There's the playlist below with the skipped tracks are marked in RED, big, bold, red letters. To hear (and see) the show, go HERE
