We really appreciate the feedback and suggestions we've been getting so far from all y'all about some of the songs we're considering for the new album. Here are a couple more we thinking about including. Whaddaya think?At last week's rehearsal, Pamela Bowen videoed two very different tunes. First is our take on the jazz standard “But Not for Me.”As reported here earlier, George and Ira Gershwin penned this song in 1930 for the stage musical “Girl Crazy” (in which it was premiered by Ginger Rogers). The song didn't take off right away, but later it became a darling of the new cool jazz cats in the 1950s.After capturing that number, Pamela's video makes a 180-degree pivot to something a bit more down home. Randy takes over the vocals and Charlie switches to banjo for “Ready for the Times to Get Better.”This 1978 composition was one of songwriter Allen Reynolds' contributions to the career of then-up-and-coming country star Crystal Gayle. As reported recently, the song went on to be covered by Marshall Chapman, Joe Sun, Cody Jinks, Billy Strings, and — most notably — by our hero, Doc Watson.So, Whaddaya Think?Should either or both be on the new album? This will be our first studio effort since Paul Martin put together Speechless in 2021, and it will be the first to feature our newest Floodsters, Danny Cox and Jack Nuckols.We love having your help in planning it. Send us your suggestions about either or both of these latest nominated songs — just drop email to Charlie at designbybowen@gmail.com — and we'll keep you posted as the work continues. Thanks, friends.Meanwhile, Mark Your Calendar: April 21!Hey, it's the first day of Spring 2024!

Stupid News Extra 2-14-2024 ...That girl crazy

Bing time! Bing Crosby Podcast 1948-12-01 Bob and Cathy Crosby, Al Jolson 1948-12-02 (316) Guest Peggy Lee, Gordon MacRae's Railroad Hour 1948-12-06 (10) William Bendix, Doris Day in Girl Crazy

It's a kind of counter-love song — a great anthem to angst — and George Gershwin's “But Not For Me” was ahead of its time. He and his brother Ira wrote the thing in 1930 for a popular stage musical called “Girl Crazy.” But it didn't make the Billboard charts until a dozen years later — after George's death, in fact — when Harry James and his orchestra got to Number 12 with it. Last week was The Flood's first fling with the tune. See what you think.

As an anthem to angst, George and Ira Gershwin's bittersweet counter-love song “But Not For Me” was well ahead of its time.The brothers penned the song in 1930 for the stage musical “Girl Crazy,” in which it was premiered by Ginger Rogers, who was appearing in the role that led to her film career. Since then, the tune has been recorded many times, though many leading vocalists like Tony Bennett don't seem to have ever given it a try, even though it is, as musician Jed Scott notes, “It's a gem of a song, and a welcome change from the AABA song form.”Waiting for JazzThe number initially failed to achieve significant pop success, charting only once. And that was a dozen years after its composition, when Harry James and His Orchestra brought it out with vocalist Helen Forrest.However, a decade after that, the song had a rebirth in the jazz world, which appreciated its kinky chord changes. As Scott noted in an online post, instead of the usual AABA of most pop standards, this 32-bar Gershwin melody is ABAB.Best of all, that second B section “has a brilliant compositional moment,” Scott observes. “In the first B, it leaps upwards to the tonic, but in the second it leaps a step higher, before climbing back down to the low tonic over the next four measures.”The result, says Scott, is “unexpected, beautiful and typical of Gershwin's clever compositional approach.”The Cool KidsThe world of 1950s cool jazz loved those leaps. A particularly beautiful understated rendering was done in 1956 by a 26-year-old superstar of the day. Trumpeter Chet Baker made it a centerpiece on his Chet Baker Sings album, achieving a perfect balance between George's upbeat melody and Ira's darker lyric.Other ‘50s jazz vocals of the tune included great ones by Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughn. Meanwhile, instrumental versions were released in the same decade by Miles Davis, Buddy De Franco, the Modern Jazz Quarter, Kenny Burrell, Ahmad Jamal and Red Garland.Since then the song has been recorded by various crooners, from Harry Connick Jr. and Barry Manilow to Linda Ronstadt and Diana Krall.Movie Time“But Not for Me” has made occasional cameo appearances in movies too, starting out as the title tune for a 1959 Clark Gable-Carroll Baker comedy. After that, Woody Allen added it to his 1979 Manhattan, a Jackie Gleason arrangement made it into L.A. Confidential in the same year, and 15 years later, Elton John performed it in Four Weddings and a Funeral.Our Take on the TuneLast week was The Flood's first fling with the tune. See what you think.We also expect to have the song in the repertoire for our big New Year's Eve do at Huntington's beloved Alchemy Theatre. Hope you've got us on your calendar.

This is the story of three of the wealthiest, most notorious men in America and how they were connected by more than money.  In this episode, I discuss how Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump and John Casablancas had a lot more in common than living in NYC at the same time.  Follow me in the tragic story of the unknown three amigos of NYC, who may have gotten a little too “Girl Crazy”.  I discuss how the planned counterculture movement birthed the oversexulation of not just women, but young girls, and how both Playboy and the creation of the supermodel played a major part in promoting this dark agenda.  This episode goes behind the scenes into the inner workings of the fashion industry and how it may be creating a pipeline of beautiful, vulnerable girls... for more than modeling jobs.  Learn how an obsession with beautiful women wove a dark thread into our world today.  Who was Epstein really friends with, and was he actually Victoria's “secret”?Want more Let's be friends podcast?

On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Jamie's next pick, ZZ Top's Eliminator. Their eighth studio album, Eliminator was released in 1983 and marks a departure from their earlier blues influenced sound to something very in keeping with the 80s. The album featured the use of drum machines and synthesizers, with guitarist Billy Gibbons saying he took inspiration from bands such as Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark for this change in their sound. The album was a hit, due largely to heavy rotation of the music videos for Sharp Dressed Man, Gimme All Your Lovin' and Legs on MTV. Eliminator was also well received critically, with many reviewers praising the new direction for the band. Will the boys give this album all their lovin or will this album be tossed out like old T.V. dinners? Come along and find out!

Synopsis Imagine the cocktail party bragging rights you'd have if you had attended the first night of “Girl Crazy,” a musical that opened in New York on today's date in 1930. That show marked the Broadway debut of Ethel Merman, and co-starred Ginger Rogers. But that's just for starters… The pit orchestra that night included Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, and Jack Teagarden – gentlemen who would all go on to become famous band leaders in their own right. Speaking of band leaders, for the opening night of “Girl Crazy,” the show's composer, George Gershwin himself, was there conducting that all-star ensemble. For his part, Gershwin recalled: “With the exception of some dead head friends of mine, especially the critics, I think the notices, especially of the music, were the best I have ever received.” Gershwin was right: “Girl Crazy” included two songs that quickly became classics: “I Got Rhythm” and “Embraceable You.” The show ran for 272 performances – an impressive statistic in the first year of the Great Depression, and Hollywood produced not one but TWO cinematic versions of the show in 1932 and 1943.

“They fuck all over the house. And I watch. Lynette spreads her legs on the toilet and pees for Clifton. And I watch. She sits on his face while he lounges on the couch with an after dinner glass of wine.I sit on the adjoining couch. And I only get the wine.But I watch. I watch, and I stroke myself off into one of the handkerchiefs I purchased the third day”and then there is this...“This time he reached between his legs and soaped his balls, slowly stroking and squeezing them while the soapsuds ran down his leg.Lauren moved her foot from the floor and brought it up on the bench next to her,while she bent her knee away from her body, opening herself even wider.By the time he turned around to face her again she had two fingers buried to the second knuckle.Seeing the state of his hard cock, she groaned softly and began to pump her fingers in and out of her wet pussy grazing her clit just enough to bring her to the edge of coming and keep her there.”There you have it. Just a taste of what's to come in this episode of deliciously Dirty Poetry.Stay with me for the rest of the episode and I'll give you the whole enchilada.The theme of this episode is to watch and be watched. The voyeur and the exhibitionist. Our first story is about a possibility that you might not have considered. In today's world, even with our infinite variety of blended families, even with all of our polyamory and our monogamish relationships, and the multitude of a romantic and erotic and domestic arrangements...Still... perhaps you might not have considered the possibility of the live-in voyeur.You'll discover that uncommon arrangement in “Making Myself At Home”, the first story in this episode of Dirty Poetry. This flight of fancy, this ingenious invention, is a product of the soaring mind of the author, Jeremy Edwards.Jeremy Edwards is the author of what he calls the erotocomedic novels, "The Pleasure Dial" and "Rock My Socks Off" along with the erotic short story collection "Sparked My Moment”.His stories have appeared in over 50 short story anthologies, including several volumes in the Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica series. The editor of the Mammoth Book erotica series, Maxim Jakubowski says: “Jeremy Edwards leads the pack of a new scintillating generation of American erotica writers who combine wit and sexiness in equal parts”.Both of our stories do come from the volume in that series that is entitled “The Mammoth Book Of Quick And Dirty Erotica”, an anthology of very short erotic stories edited by Maxim Jakubowski.Our second author is an experienced craftsperson in the world of erotic writing. D. L. King has written short stories that have appeared in over 75 different anthologies. Among them, “Best Women's Erotica”, “Best Lesbian Erotica”, “Girl Crazy”, “Frenzy”, “Yes, Ma'am”, “Yes, sir.”, and “The Mammoth Book Of Best New Erotica” from our own editor, Maxim Jakubowski.In addition, D. L. King has edited 13 anthologies of short stories herself. Among them, “The Harder She Comes, Butch Fem Erotica”. That one was the winner of the Lambda Literary Award and the Independent Publishers Gold Medal.D.L. King lives in New York City.The exhibitionist and the voyeur depend on each other for their stimulation. One needs the other and many of us have both the urge to watch and to be watched balanced in us. Many of us can switch from one to the other.Our second story, “Her Turn”, is a tale of one of those situations that turned from the watched to the watcher.Give this episode of Dirty Poetry a listen.If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe.There is much, much more Dirty...

Good Morning it's Tuesday July 6th and this is Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today - The topic of transient vehicles in Wenatchee has come up in complaints from residents. At city council meetings to conversations between community members on NABUR - The Wenatchee World's online discussion forum.   Also, the Batterman Fire, which was first reported at 12:15pm on Sunday just northeast of Pangborn Memorial Airport grew to 2,500 acres.    Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   Now our feature story…    The topic of transient vehicles in Wenatchee has come up in complaints from residents at city council meetings to conversations between community members on NABUR, The Wenatchee World's online discussion forum.   In a report published Friday, World reporters Pete O'Cain and Sydnee Gonzalez investigated the issue of transient vehicles in the area. They also took a look at the laws, and what the city is planning to do in response.   Gonzalez explained that a specific individual was spreading his stuff around town, and the city removed it and arrested him multiple times. Each time, the courts just declined to see the case. It became a cycle, and the city was frustrated.    There was nothing that they could really do about it, but at the same time, they were getting complaints from residents.   At a recent city council meeting there were complaints of a lot of trucks or trailers around town that people were using as homes.    So Gonzalez and O'Cain set out to talk to people. They soon met two individuals who were experiencing homelessness.   To them, one thing that jumped out about the situation is just how complex it is. For people who are experiencing homelessness, it's very difficult. It's also a challenging situation for the city.    There are laws that really limit what the city can and can't do. Homeless people have rights.   Gonzalez also explained that people who haven't experienced either homelessness or dealing with it may not necessarily understand that and how difficult it is to get out of homelessness and how difficult it is for the city to manage that.   But there is a low-barrier shelter in Moses Lake, and Wenatchee and East Wenatchee are trying to model theirs after that.   If you have any questions about homelessness in the Wenatchee area, they can send them in and we'll investigate. Reach out to newsroom@wenatcheeworld.com.   We also encourage you to read our full story and join the conversation by joining NABUR at wenatcheeworld.com/nabur.   -   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health. The team at Confluence Health is grateful for the trust the community puts in them every single day. They are diligently working to improve the health and quality of life for our friends and neighbors. They are Grateful | They are Confluence Health.  Learn more by visiting them at ConfluenceHealth.com -   Here's what else you need to know today.   The Batterman Fire, which was first reported at 12:15pm on Sunday just northeast of Pangborn Memorial Airport, grew to 2,500 acres.   The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said that by the afternoon 80 homes were under various evacuation levels.    Grace Debusschere, spokeswoman for SE Washington Interagency Incident Management Team 1 Said that the fire spread to Rock Island Grade by early evening. That's where crews were holding the fire on Monday morning.    So what happened?   Fire crews from around the region had responded to the fire on Sunday. 11 aircrafts were used in areas unreachable by fire engines. Aircrafts included three heavy air tankers, two water scooping planes, five helicopters and an Air Attack plane.   Winds shifted in the afternoon, which prompted engines to protect structures in the Rock Island Grade area. The incident management team took command of the fire Sunday night and worked overnight.    More crews and equipment arrived Monday. In fact, State crews were approved to help fight the fire and assumed command Monday morning.   The grass fire is estimated at more than 1,600 acres and new Level 3 evacuation notices were in place as of yesterday from Moses Stool down Road Island Grade Road to Highway 28.   Thankfully, Kay McKellar, Douglas County Fire District 2 spokeswoman said there were no reports of injuries.   Still, evacuees who need help with pets and animals can contact the Wenatchee Valley Animal Care and Control at (509) 888-7283.   You can learn more about this story by visiting us at wenatcheeworld.com     Did you know that film and television actress, Noreen Nash, was born in Wenatchee in 1924? Nash's career took off when she was crowned our town's Apple Blossom Queen. She had initially intended to attend Stanford University but was contracted to MGM as a showgirl. Her screen debut came in the musical “Girl Crazy” with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. and in 1942, she worked as a model alongside Marilyn Monroe. Eventually, she landed bigger film and TV roles including The Southerner, and Giant…. both recognized at the Academy Awards. She retired from acting in 1962, got her degree from UCLA and went on to write three books, and she's still alive…at 97.   -   Thanks for listening.

Welcome to Episode 131 of Broadcast Geeks! On this podcast we discuss all things geek and nerd related, provided our DVR's have space and our Netflix accounts are our own and none others.  This week the Geeks (Mitch, Jeff, Jake and Matt Orrin) recorded at the Sexpot Comedy Studios, located above the awesome Mutiny Information Cafe, for another packed episode of geeky goodness.   As usual, talk of who owns what property was discussed, specifically Sony.  We talked about their properties moving forward, starting with the new Venom movie coming out.  Will Spiderman, or even just Tom Holland appear in the film?  Are they going to connect to other characters down the line, or will their movies just be "Like a Turd in the Wind", so says our eponymous anti-hero.  This goes along with the 3rd Wave of Geek, as Marvel gets ready to end their phase of movies.  Sure, some characters will stick around but it seems that the stories will revolve around a different set of heroes, such as Captain Marvel.  We are ALL super excited for Brie Larson to kick ass as the hero to save all heroes...hopefully she can shoulder that responsibility.     Barbie, Ken, and He-Man must be excited because Mattel has their own film division, just as Sony lost the rights to those properties...can't get away from this topic!  Hopefully, a new He-Man movie is made and Dolph Lundgren will appear in it, though not necessarily as the title character.  The topic of conversation meandered its way, to old TV shows and whether or not they hold up.  The Drew Carey show DOES hold up and, in fact, has gotten better with time.  They were ahead of the curve as far as content goes and could probably still do well if it came out today.  They DID have a huge cast of funny, and successful, people.  Cleveland Rocks! Why do people love the Big Bang Theory? Why does Mitch Hate it?  We talked about that polarizing show, because its been around a while and despite the vitriol many have towards it, there are LOTS of people that loved it.  It's one of those shows that appeals to a certain set of geeks and non-geeks, but not all.  Are you a fan? Not much in casting news except Timothy Dalton, one-time James Bond, has been cast in the new Doom Patrol show which will premiere on the new DCUniverse service, coming out Sept. 15, though the show probably won't arrive till October.  Gifted, season 2, should hit TV within the next few weeks and it sounds like its going to be a fun season.  Speaking of fun, Disenchantment has been a delightful show to watch with great voice actors lending their talents.  If you haven't watched it yet, check it out.  We talk about Luci, the demon, that looks like a cat.  Does it look like a cat to you?  Funny man Kyle Kinane is in a new show called Paradise PD, along with Dana Snyder and a bunch of other funny people, that Jake talks about. We finish up with Bruce Willis movies, and whether or not they are good.  Some actors you like, or dislike, but cannot help liking their movies.  Tom Cruise can be very unlikeable, but his movies are not.  Bruce Willis, however, doesn't seem to have animosity towards him and many of his movies are enjoyable, whether or not they are actually good.  One of the Geeks hated the Fifth Element...listen to find out which one! If you havent already checked out Denver Open Media, and what they have offered then go to https://www.denveropenmedia.org  As you might already know, we'll be on Tuesday nights at 10pm.  Some episodes of Broadcast Geeks are recorded at the Comedy RoomRoom inside of El Charrito at 2104 Larimer Street in the heart of Denver's ballpark neighborhood. Make sure to visit for brunch on Sunday's at Denver's only 5 Star Dive Bar. You can send your feedback and show topic ideas to broadcastgeeks@gmail.com. Follow us on Twitter @broadcastgeeks.

He’s the go-to guy if you’ve got a musical that’s supposed to make people laugh. And we talked about what it takes to make people slap their knees, as well as . . . How he agreed to direct a show even though he didn’t know what directing really was. The best advice he ever got, which made him change his attitude overnight. Why his rehearsal rooms are CLOSED to everyone but the actors. How (and why) Guys and Dolls wasn’t working and what he and his choreographer did to fix it. What a show has to do within its first ten minutes, or it’s sunk. Once on This Island, Winner of the 2018 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, is the sweeping, universal tale of Ti Moune, a fearless peasant girl in search of her place in the world, and ready to risk it all for love.

Alban Berg: Symphonische Stücke aus der Oper "Lulu" | George Gershwin: Suite aus "Girl Crazy" | Luciano Berio: Sequenza III | Orchestra Ludwig | Sopran und Leitung: Barbara Hannigan

Ontario's Ryan Laird received recognition and media attention across The United States and Canada in December 2008 after putting up a billboard on Nashville's famed Music Row asking Taylor Swift to produce his album. The billboard displayed Laird in a classroom holding a note reading “Hey Taylor - I LOVE your music. Will you produce my album?” When asked about Laird and his billboard on E! News Weekend, Swift said, "I definitely want to meet him ... I listened to one of his songs and absolutely fell in love with it, and I think he's got great melodies and he's a great writer. I think he could really be great and be huge, so it'll be really cool to maybe work with him." ? In 2013, Ryan founded the National BiggerThanThat!™ Movement as a platform for bullying prevention and youth empowerment and a way to give back to communities across the country. His philanthropic tour has impacted over 300,000 Canadian youth - and that number climbs higher every day!   Following up on his popular songs "I'm Your Man", "Girl Crazy", "Where Do I Go" and "Summertime Girl", Ryan has now released "Wear Me Out". The talented Country artist explains “whether you're wearing out your partner's clothing around home…or wearing  them out in love…now that I’m a married man, I’m so happy to  sing ‘you kinda knock me out, baby when you wear me out!"

“I got rhythm.I got music” — Ira Gershwin Ira Gershwin knew the power of rhythm when he wrote these words to the musical, Girl Crazy.Teaching rhythm to students is one of my favorite things because after all, if you have rhythm, "who could ask for anything more"?! Enjoy these songs for teaching quarter and eighth notes to your kiddos! Cobbler Cobbler Mend my ShoeThere are many different ways to perform this song. I've heard it with a few different melodies, plus a spoken rhyme. This is my melody of choice :) Children like this song, especially when its put into perspective. Have students look at their shoes and ask them what they do when their shoes get dirty, or get damaged. Likely, they simply buy a new pair. Then you can explain that when this song was sung, there was a special person whose job it was to fix shoes called a cobbler. When your shoes were damaged you would take them to the cobbler to be fixed. You can also point out that apparently the person singing the song was impatient and needed the cobbler to hurry up! 'Round and 'Round (Also called "Boom Makaleli")To play the game: Students sing the song walking in a circle and holding hands, with one child in the middle. At the words "Down Miss Mary", the child in the middle touches someone in the circle on the head. That person crouches down, but must continue to walk. Keep going until all the children are crouching, or as long as time permits. It's a hoot! This song could also be brought back in later grades to teach eighth note followed by two sixteenth (ti tika or ta dimi). Rain Rain This popular english nursery rhyme is a classic. Your students will enjoy singing a song they already know! The Crane This song has some really great imagery to use as you teach it. For example, you can ask students to describe what the crane looked like. What was he doing? Do you think the peasants were okay with this "great big long nosed crane" eating their corn? Here Comes a Bluebird If you're not already familiar with this game: Students stand holding hands in a circle, arms held high to create "windows". One child, the bluebird, weaves in and out of the windows. At "pick a little partner" the bluebird choses one person from the circle. They join hands and jump in the middle (at "hop in the garden"). Then the original bluebird goes back in the circle and the new bluebird continues the game as the song is sung again.* One variation of this game has the students changing the color of the bird based on the color the child is wearing. Lesson planning is easy when: Lesson planning is easy when you have a great selection of songs to choose from, and a game plan of how to use them. I'm always trying to make this process more streamlined for myself which is why I put together this list of songs for you to use as well!

This week's episode is a Hernandez-centric show. On it, the Two Guys with PhDs play a little catch-up with some of Gilbert and Jaime's comics that have come out over the past few months. They begin with the latest installment of Love & Rockets: New Stories (Fantagraphics), and most of the tales in this volume continue what began in last year's annual. In fact, both Andy and Derek feel that New Stories 8 can be best appreciated, and better understood, when read alongside its predecessor. Jaime's contributions -- the Princess Animus, Maggie and Hopey, and Tonta storylines -- are fairly straightforward, although the guys aren't entirely sure how Princess Animus will ultimately fit into the Love & Rockets world. (Is it similar to the Ti-Girls with Jaime playing around with the superhero genre again? Might Penny Century be involved in some way?) But things aren't as clear-cut when it comes to Gilbert's selections, all centered on Fritz in some way. Over the last two New Stories annuals, Gilbert has been mapping out a complex narrative concerning the B-movie star and her imitators, chock-full of unusual characters, many of whom look alike...and purposefully so. The guys comment on the ways in which Gilbert is manipulating his sequential chronology and the general weirdness surrounding Fritz's world. And given the labyrinthine nature of this current volume of Love & Rockets, Derek advocates for a much-needed Hernandez brothers wiki and challenges listeners to begin creating one. Next, they turn to the new edition of Girl Crazy (Dark Horse Books). This originally began as a three-issue miniseries published by Dark Horse in 1996 and then collected as a single volume the following year. But that book has been out of print for some time, and now the publisher is rereleasing this new hardbound edition to stand alongside other Dark Horse books by Gilbert, including Speak of the Devil, Citizen Rex (with his brother, Mario), Fatima: The Blood Spinners, Loverboys, and last year's Grip: The Strange World of Men. Both Andy and Derek note that, with Girl Crazy, the story still holds up, and it's yet another example of Gilbert's no-holds-barred storytelling. At the same time, they point out that the art in Girl Crazy is noticeably different from his most recent style, with its detailed texturing and heavier inks. Finally, the guys wrap up with the second issue of Gilbert's Blubber (Fantagraphics), a comic-book series that is a strange amalgamation of experimental storytelling and pornography. This is definitely not a title for those with tender sensibilities and who are easily offended. In fact, Derek and Andy point out that, for the most part, all the stories in this issue include a lot of sucking and f**king...and not only between humans. There are zombies, robots, and fantastical creatures involved, as well. It's all weird, wacky, and fun, but after discussing Blubber #2 the Two Guys really feel like they need to take a shower.

Welcome to Episode 12 of Love That Album: The Compilation Series hosted by Eric Reanimator.This time, Eric is shouting from the mountain tops “Let’s hear it for the girls!!!” He is looking at three very different compilations but with the common element being women being the singing and performing focus. For starters, he’s discussing Flowers In The Wildwood (Women In Early Country Music 1923-1939) released in 2003. This album has songs with gorgeous country harmonies from artists (with exceptions like The Carter Family) that have long been forgotten about. Next up, there’s Girl Crazy (1998), a compilation of girl garage bands from the 90s, including one called Maow featuring a drummer we all know and love (I’m calling YOU John Ross)….yup early Neko Case. Finally, there’s Stiff Nipples Vol.2 (1999), a compile of unsigned female fronted bands from Norway. It’s stylistically mixed, but with some cool bands like The Launderettes  and the Barbarellas. As usual, Eric has dug up some gem albums to bring to your attention. Give him your support and download this great episode.

Every artist has an epiphany. For classically-trained, award winning pianist Richard Glazier, it happened at age nine, when he saw the film “Girl Crazy” with a score by George & Ira Gershwin.  So excited was he by the music he heard, Glazier was prompted to write a fan letter to famed lyricist Ira Gershwin. After corresponding with each other for three years, Gershwin invited his young friend, then 12 to meet him in Beverly Hills. During their visit Ira asked Glazier to play a Gershwin tune on the piano that once belonged to his brother legendary composer George Gershwin.  Fueled by Ira's encouragement and interest, Glazier dedicated himself that very day to the Gershwin repertoire and the American Popular Songbook, eventually becoming one of the genre's leading authorities..Originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, Glazier began studying piano when he was 6 years old. Trained in the classics, Glazier earned Bachelor and Master degrees in Piano Performance from Indiana University School of Music, Bloomington, where he studied with famed pianist and teacher, Menaham Pressler, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Music.In addition to Ira Gershwin's blessings, Glazier has received the Alumni Achievement Award from the Cleveland Institute of Music for his contributions to the American Popular Song.  He also won several major international piano competitions including the Pro Musicis International Award and the National Federation of Music Clubs' Grand Prize.  He also was selected as a Steinway Artist.Glazier's concerts have inspired two national television specials: "From Gershwin to Garland A Musical Journey With Richard Glazier, which was broadcast on PBS stations throughout the country in 2010&  "From Ragtime to Reel Time Richard Glazier in Concert, which starts airing on PBS stations in March 2012.
