This show comes to you from the Doodlebug
Memorial in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The Doodlebug was a single-car commuter train
that collided with a 73-car freight train in the summer of 1940. THe incident
had begun to fade into local memory until three local middle school students
started doing a research project on the incident - a project that swelled into a
major fundraising campaign to build the memorial. It was dedicated on the 65th
anniversary of the crash at a service that I am proud to say I attended. Details
about the event and pictures of the memorial are available here on the website
-- http://www.bowed.org/031/cotw.html.
Invert makes a second appearance on this show -
the string quartet with two cellists. In between their last appearance and this
one, the group has released a CD called The Strange Parade. This is the final
cut from that disc, a tune called Truth Serum.
Kari
Tieger, a pianist and composer out of Riverside, Rhode Island, is on
for her second appearance as well. This is a recently composed duet with
violinist Lauren Benowitz.
Chris Murphy is an electric
violinist fron Los Angeles, currently supporting his recent release Luminous. I
confess I hadn't heard of Chris before he sent me his CD, but his disc features
two musicians I have had a great deal of respect for for some time: Mike Watt
(formerly of fIREHOSE and The Minutemen) and Nels Cline (of Wilco and,
incidentally, Mike Watt's touring band). This tune features Nels on guitar - and
he and Chris sound amazing together.
James Sudakow is an
up-an-coming artist out of Long Beach, California. His latest release, Green is
an ambitious progressive rock exploration of soud and texture. A very engaging
and enjoyable listen.
Next week finds me in Seattle. I'll do my best to
have a show out by next Monday. But we'll see.
Thanks for
listening!
