Starting
the year with a Jazz Music Special, which I'm also calling "Some
of That Jazz." It's six hours of as much music as would fit by
GLBT artists & musicians, that's 62 of them, and including interviews
with pianist Fred Hersch and vocalists Kellye Gray and Mark Winkler. |
|
A
Tribute to Meg Christian, using a historic 1983 interview, and a 1981
live concert.These were from a main transition time for Meg, when she
had just done the "Meg & Cris at Carnegie Hall Concert,"
and was about to leave Women's Music, in 1984. |
|
Three
different segments: First, I uncover a 50 year-old music mystery, revealing
the name of the singer of the first full music album of lyrically gay
material, with a delightful interview with my inside source. Next is
a sampling of quite obscure queer rare songs. And, Part 3, a quick history
of German GLBT music, in German. |
|
Lesbian/Feminist
Bands of the 70's, interviews
with members of the Chicago & New Haven Women's Liberation Rock
Bands, the New Harmony Sisterhood Band, and the Berkeley Women's Music
Collective, spread over four hours of music. |
|
This
month's show is a rambling romp through gay musicals, some with deep
history, some quite rare, some for fun, and many you just may have missed.
I covered 33 of them, in three hours. Enjoy! |
|
Continuing
from my May show, this is Part 2 of Gay Musicals. Again, I jump around
and sample a whole bunch of music from shows you haven't likely heard
in a while, or at all. And, in the second segment Mark Winkler, one
of the writers for "Naked Boys Singing," shares some comments.

|
This
is a special two-hour Sylvester Tribute, spanning his twenty years
of music, and including the hits, interesting tracks, and some quite
rare ones...and a curious interview with him from France, in French.
|
|
This
show is dedicated to Music inspired by the movie "The Wizard of
Oz," and Part 1 includes a special interview with Fred Barton,
creator of the 1986 LP "Miss Gulch Returns." Part 2 features
original songs on the theme by Friends of Dorothy. |
|
My
first ever salute to the genre of Spoken Word, of course all by GLBT
artists.
I've got 46 performers spanning 45 years, from Allen Ginsberg to Zorras,
some adding music, some just reading, some funny, some sweet, some political
and many angry, and all with a message. |
|
"Songs
About Anita Bryant" is the focus of the show, not
those by her. Her anti-gay campaigns in the late 1970's prompted an
amazing amount of musical commentary, enough for a two-hour show, complete
with several interviews from folks who were there at the protests. |
|
Another
two-hour show: First, Guy Blackman of Australia, on his recently
released CD compilation of 70's gay gems, called "Strong Love."
Then, a visit to San Francisco in the 1960's via interviews with Jose
Sarria and Michelle. |
|
Of
course during my December show I showcase the best of Queer Xmas
Music ...who knows what this year will bring, but I promise quality
and a dash of obscurity. And, as always, this is the xmas music you
Won't be sick of by now. |
