    Our show today comes in three parts Part one: Singer Songwriter Linda Jay Reed shares her creation process. Part two: Linda Reed sings the song Anxiety Blues Part three: a SoundSlice from an island in the Philippines Part One: Linda Jay Reed wrote her first song on guitar when she was 17 years old. She has continued the practice for decades and has gained a faithful fanbase. After hearing her song, Fallin' Free, I fell hard for both the warmth and the weariness that she exudes through her voice. Every inch of her personal journey is etched the sound she creates. She is honest without being bitter. The music and the moods she creates draw me in. Right before she moved from New York City to California, in the midst of a mountain of moving boxes, Linda took some time out to tell me about her music. MUSIC: Part Two: MUSIC Sound Slice: Let me set the scene for you. I am on the shore of Pandan Island in the Philippines. It is a short boat ride from the city of Sablayan. This was the beginning of a 5 week trip to see some of the islands and some of my Aunt Rolla's family. But first this stop on an island surrounded by a coral reef and teaming with sea turtles. A small shark swam near the shore, and looked so playful, I had to go snorkeling around the island again. CLOSING Bubble&Squeak is written and produced by me, Peterson Toscano.

    Our show today comes in one part. Poet tessa micaela reads an extended excerpt from their book of poetry entitled where bells begin. tessa and I collaborated on this audio treatment of their poem. After conversing then recording tessa reading, I collected sounds, mostly in wild parts of South Africa and in the town of Waterval Boven in Mpumalanga province. I mixed these sounds with tessa's reading. You will hear a variety of birds and other wild and domesticated animals. where bells begin immerses the reader and listener into a world that is both foreign and familiar. The main character, who simply goes by the single letter, O, walks through this world, interacts with it, is ignored by it, and endures in it. The only piece of music in this audio treatment is the bass track of Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen's song Never Forget. The episode ends with the track Dreamaway by Dreem and is available on Epidemicmusic.com For the best experience, I suggest you use headphones or ear buds as you listen to this audio treatment of tessa micaela's where bells begin. Tessa Micaela is the author of where bells begin (Rescue Press, November 2019), there are boxes and there is wanting (Trembling Pillow Press, 2016), and the chapbook Crude Matter (ypolita press, 2016).
