#ManicMondayShow

For anyone that knows me... they know that I love music & trivia and that the two sometimes collide with one another to make a informational mess.  Sometimes at the dinner table I will respond to something within a conversation with my own "Weird Al" version of a lyric or even respond to a question with a reference.  At times my random trivial point hits the bullseye... sometimes it does like a North Korean ICBM and blows up during the launch.

This love of music, the stories of the music and musicians has long been with me.  Heck at one point I really thought I wanted to be a 'Rock Star'.  After taking Piano Lessons under the tutelage of a rather questionable character that had been recommended to my Dad whom has long been a patron of the arts, especially musical... I decided it was time for me to become the next greatest 6-string axe-slinger.  Well, I can assure You the reader that this is not what history reveals.  But I Still Love Music and Muzak.

Not long ago, I went to the local public radio station to request a copy of an audio segment concerning the Alaska State Legislature.  While waiting for the file, Sam who is a friend of mine and is the GM of a our local Public Radio (http://www.kdlg.org) came out of his office and said,

"Hey You should do a show."

Thinking about the fact that the contributory spending that helps maintain vital public radio service in Rural Alaska is under scrutiny by the Alaska Legislature for cuts whiles costs rise... I knew that Sam had a point.  KDLG is already operating on a shoestring budget and to help them fill airtime while lowering operating costs seemed to me to be a natural all-around combo of putting my action/dollar where my mouth is.  I love music of plethoric variety and I am all for Volunteerism...  I Agreed.

So here are the debut results named the #ManicMondayShow on 670am at 7pm April 17, 2017:
