Hoppet är vad som för livet vidare från generation till generation, från människa till människa, säger Marie Demker, aktiv i Equmeniakyrkan. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur Andakten:I min ungdom mötte jag en läkare som mitt i mörkret förmedlade en tilltro till framtiden som räddade mitt liv. Hon var övertygad om att jag hade en ljus framtid, det var bara en fråga om tid och tålamod. Och hon fick rätt. Det är hoppet som gör att jag fortsätter att försöka göra gott i vardagen men det är också hoppet som gör att jag arbetar med ting som skall överleva mig. Planterar träd, underhåller hus och uppfostrar barn. Utan hopp blir världen bara här och nu. Och världen är inte bara här och nu, den fanns till innan jag fanns och den kommer att finnas långt efter det att min kropp blivit mull.Programmet sändes första gången 2024.

Idag talar Marie Demker från Göteborg om Nåden. En Nåd som räcker och som flödar över oss alla. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur Andakten:Nåden räcker. Nåd i nya testamentet är släkt med ordet glädje på grekiska. Att leva i nåden och av nåden är en glädje, en befrielse. Jag har inte förtjänat nåden och skulle inte kunna det. Istället har min Gud gått igenom de mest fruktansvärda pinor, Jesus har legat på knä i en trädgård en hel natt och bett till sin Fader att skona honom från döden. Men också i sin ångest insett att det inte var möjlighet. Han fick sina sår för mig. Han tog all min eländighet på sig. Och nu möter han mig och alla andra i köket en solig morgon i mars över en kopp kaffe. Det är bara nåd. Och det är det enda jag vet säkert. Att nåden räcker.Så berättar Marie Demker, professor i statsvetenskap och aktiv i Equmeniakyrkan i Göteborg, i dagens Andakt. Andakten sändes första gången 2024.

Whenever we have fresh ears in The Flood's band room, as we did last week, the newcomer's first question often is, “What kind of music do you fellas play?”No single easy answer is available, of course, but it is an opportunity for a show-and-tell — well, more show than tell, probably — demonstrating the storied diversity of band's repertoire. At last week's gathering, for instance, in the first dozen minutes of the evening, the guys played across a spectrum, starting with an Irving Berlin tune, followed by a Sonny Terry/Brownie McGhee blues, then a Hoagy Carmichael jazz standard, a Bob Dylan composition and a centuries-old fiddle tune.When the boys wanted to bring out the jug band course for this eclectic repast, they turned to this tune from the head honcho of hokum, Mister Tampa Red.About This SongAs reported here earlier, Shelton Brooks' composition, “I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone,” was recorded by Red on July 9, 1929, with Georgia Tom on piano and jazz singer Frankie “Half Pint” Jaxon doing the vocal honors.And, as also noted, Brooks' piece inspired a famous “answer” song, W.C. Handy's “Yellow Dog Blues,” which continued Shelton's story by tracking down his elusive easy rider.Our Take On the TuneAround here, the best night of the week is whatever night we're all getting together to pick. Everyone always comes in the room ready to rock. But some nights? Well, those night swing even more than usual. At that session last week, for instance, Danny seemed to have a whole barrel of new riffs to try out on his guitar, and Jack was absolutely cooking on his snare and high-hat. And, man, it seemed like Randy was rocking before he even got his bass out of the case. Just listen to how Randy's walking bass line puts a strut and a glide in this great old tune from the Roarin' Twenties. Shoot, you can probably hear Charlie grinning while he's singing.Meanwhile…Well, we're now about a third of the way into the new year.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at an unsung western classic from 1946. Brandon is joined by film historian & producer Daniel Marino to discuss Canyon Passage. The film, directed by Jacques Tourneur, embodies the post-war feelings of American in the forties. It features stunning Technicolor cinematography and an unlikely Oscar nominated song by Hoagy Carmichael. The film also benefits from a strong cast featuring Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward, Brian Donlevy, Ward Bond and Lloyd Bridges.

The band is back! This Sunday at the "Unchained Melodies" show, the Evensong Quintet is playing a live recording concert of tunes in the public domain. Many of the best songwriters of the “Tin Pan Alley” era wrote some of their most enduring songs during the late 1920s, and many of these songs fall into public domain this year. Jazz musicians have long favored the work of these giants: George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Fats Waller, Irving Berlin, Hoagy Carmichael to name a few. For generations, big corporations have controlled the performance rights to this material, now these national treasures are free to be performed and recorded without restrictions. 

Colm Gavin has always been hugely inspired by the great American Songbook – particularly: Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael and their brilliant love ballads. Lyrically, Colm wanted this to be playful and honest. “While I'm someone of simple means, goes wild for the finer things, a Paris balcony with a view, I'm more an …

Often the first notes of the evening set the pace, the mood and the tone for the entire rehearsal. As you'll hear on this track, Danny Cox walked into last week's session ready to set the Floodometer on sizzle. And it certainly worked. The Flood has been doing this great old 1920s jazz standard for only a couple of years now, but it's already become one of the band's go-to tunes for a good time, especially whenever Danny has new musical ideas to explore.About the SongThis week's featured tune — “Am I Blue?” — has a special place at the intersection of jazz and movie histories. That's because in 1944 a sassy performance of the 1929 classic marked songwriter Hoagy Carmichael's big break in Hollywood.Hoagy is best known, of course, for performing his own compositions (“Stardust” and “Georgia on My Mind,” “Up a Lazy River,” “Memphis in June” and so many others).However, when Carmichael was cast to play the character “Cricket” in Humphrey Bogart's To Have and Have Not, director Howard Hawks wanted a scene in which Hoagy — as a honky tonk piano player in a Martinique dive — is doing the Harry Akst-Grant Clarke tune when a 19-year-old Lauren Bacall makes her film debut.“My first scene required me to sing ‘Am I Blue,'” Carmichael wrote in his 1965 autobiography Sometimes I Wonder. “‘Am I Nervous' would have been a more appropriate title. I chewed a match to help my jitters…. The match was a good decision, it turned out, because it became a definite part of the character.”With some comic results. One morning during the shooting, Carmichael had a scene with Bogart, who walked onto the set chewing on a match. “My heart sank,” Hoagy wrote. “What can you say to the star of the picture when he's apparently intent on stealing your stuff?”Only the next day did Carmichael learn it had all been a gag. “Bogey let me go on thinking they had actually shot the scene that way.”Meanwhile…Elsewhere in the film, Hoagy is seen playing an accompaniment for the very nervous young Bacall as her character, “Slim,” sings his and Johnny Mercer's song, "How Little We Know,” which they wrote specifically for the movie.A 16-year-old Andy Williams recorded the song as a possible alternative track to dub Bacall's low voice; however, Bacall always maintained that the producers ended up using her singing in the film rather the dub.“I'm not sure what the truth of it was,” Williams later wrote in his own autobiography, “but I'm not going to argue about it with the formidable Ms. Bacall!”Meanwhile, more films awaited Hoagy Carmichael. As he wrote, he was cast in "every picture in which a world-weary character in bad repair sat around and sang or leaned over a piano.… It was usually the part of the hound-dog-faced old musical philosopher noodling on the honky-tonk piano, saying to a tart with a heart of gold: 'He'll be back, honey. He's all man'."Song HistoriesIf you would like to read more about the history of “Am I Blue?” check out this earlier Flood Watch report on the song.And for the backstories on other songs in The Flood's repertoire, peruse the newsletter's Song Stories section.

durée : 00:32:01 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - C'est à Hoagy Carmichael que rendait hommage le quatrième volet qu'en 1991, dans "Le Rythme et la raison", Daniela Langer consacrait aux grands compositeurs et paroliers des grandes heures de la comédie musicale de Broadway, une émission sous-titrée "Des rengaines banales et irrésistibles"… - réalisation : Véronique Lamendour - invités : René Urtreger Pianiste de jazz; Stephanie Crawford Chanteuse de jazz américaine

Hoagy Carmichael was not quite 28 years old when he wrote what music historians consider THE song of the 20th century.Just how big is “Stardust” in the Great American Songbook?* Well, for starters, this is a song that has been recorded as an instrumental or a vocal more than 1,500 times. * Forty years after its publication in 1928, it was still earning more than $50,000 annually in royalties. * The lyrics that Mitchell Parish later brought to Hoagy's song have been translated into 30 languages.“Stardust” simply is “the most-recorded song in the history of the world,” music curator John Edward Hasse of the Smithsonian Institution once told John Barbour of The Associated Press, “and that right there qualifies it as it as the song of the century.”The closest competitor, he said, is “Yesterday” by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and, at No. 3, W.C. Handy's “St. Louis Blues.”Young Hoagy and His SongLate summer 1927 found Hoagy Carmichael back home in Indiana after a romp in Florida; the young man was hanging out near the campus of Indiana University, from which he had graduated a few years earlier.As he related in his first autobiography, The Stardust Road, in 1946:It was a hot night, sweet with the death of summer and the hint and promise of fall. A waiting night, a night marking time, the end of a season. The stars were bright, close to me, and the North Star hung low over the trees.I sat down on the “spooning wall” at the edge of the campus and all the things that the town and the university and the friends I had flooded through my mind. Beautiful Kate (Cameron), the campus queen... and Dorothy Kelly. But not one girl — all the girls — young and lovely. Was Dorothy the loveliest? Yes. The sweetest? Perhaps. But most of them had gone their ways. Gone as I'd gone mine....Never to be 21 again; so in love again. Never feel the things I'd felt. The memory of love's refrain....Carmichael wrote that he then looked up at the sky, whistling softly, and that the melody flowing from his feelings was “Stardust.” Excited, he ran to a campus hangout where the owner was ready to close. Hoagy successfully begged for a few minutes of piano time so he could solidify that theme in his head.True?Is that really how it happened? “What can I say?” historian Hasse told the AP decades later. “It is truly a thing of legend.”The same year, Carmichael recorded an upbeat instrumental version of the song for Gennett Records. The next year, he left Indiana for New York City after Mills Music hired him as a composer. The Reception WidensWest Virginian Don Redman recorded the song in the same year, and by 1929 it was performed regularly by Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club; however, it was Isham Jones' 1930 rendition that made the song popular on radio, prompting multiple acts to record it.For instance, in 1936, RCA released double-sided versions of “Stardust,” Tommy Dorsey on one side and Benny Goodman on the other.Then 1940 was a banner year, with releases of the song by Frank Sinatra, Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller. Since then, “Stardust” has entered the repertoire of every serious jazz singer and instrumentalist around the world.Willie's VersionIn 1978, country superstar Willie Nelson surprised fans with his release of his Star Dust album, which went golden after staying on the best-seller charts for more than 135 weeks.Nelson recalled singing it in the Austin, Texas, Opera House. “There was a kind of stunned silence in the crowd for a moment, and then they exploded with cheering and whistling and applauding. The kids thought ‘Stardust' was a new song I had just written….”Our Take on the TuneSince its composition nearly a hundred years ago now, this song has been performed by many folks as a slow, romantic ballad, drawing out the words and the melody. Good for them. However, when Hoagy wrote this classic, he performed it with a bit of the sass and sway that characterized the jazz of his day, and we in The Flood like to carry on that tradition. The song has some of the best chords of anything in our repertoire and in this take from last week's rehearsal you'll hear two solos in which Danny Cox is finding all kinds of interesting ideas.

Howard Hawks's To Have and Have Not (1944) is more Hollywood than Hemingway–something for which we should all be grateful. The film is a wonderful example–perhaps the best–of onscreen chemistry and remains wildly entertaining even aside from the onscreen courtship of Bogart and Bacall. Join us as we talk about banter as a tool of seduction, the ways in which films let us “borrow the nature” of their actors, how To Have and Have Not feels like Casablanca II, and if Howard Hawks has an odd obsession with Hoagy Carmichael. In this episode, Dan mentions William J. Mann's recent book Bogie and Bacall, a terrific dual biography of the stars. You can hear Dan's interview of the author here. And if you don't believe that the source material for the film is as bad as we say it is, you can find Hemingway's novel here. Follow us on X and Letterboxd–and let us know what you'd like us to watch! Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Rock and roll icon Chuck Berry was the headliner at a concert at Bush Stadium in 1972, the first of a long-forgotten series of music festivals at the former baseball stadium in Indianapolis. A poster for that 1972 concert is now part of the collection of the Indiana Music History Project. So are rare vinyl LP's and 45's featuring Indiana musicians. And so are four Indiana University yearbooks from each year that Hoagy Carmichael was a student in the 1920s, although the music history project generally focuses on the "vinyl era"; that's usually defined as stretching from 1950 to 1990. The 1972 poster, vinyl LP's and yearbooks are among more than 5,000 pieces of memorabilia, ranging from a record player, photos and cassettes to flyers for concerts, that have been donated during the last year to the music history project, an initiative of the Indiana Entertainment Foundation. So Rick Wilkerson, the executive director of both the entertainment foundation and the music history project, will return to share updates since he was Nelson's guest last July about the vinyl era of Indiana music. Rick, who formerly owned vinyl record stores in Indianapolis, attended the Chuck Berry concert in 1972, although the poster was donated by musician and photographer Neil Sharrow.

On Josh's 50th birthday, BadkneesTs' Jim Beck hosted a grand reopening for his new location on West Kirkwood across from Rose Hill Cemetery, forever home of Hoagy Carmichael and so many other seminal Bloomington humans. (In fact, just the other day, Chris's son pointed out how many Hinkle headstones there are. If you eat burgers and haven't had a Hinkle's hamburger, go visit Badknees then head west a few blocks for lunch at Hinkle's.) Anyway, Josh and Chris set up a mobile recording tent at the event because If You Pitch It, They Will Talk. And they did. We chatted with Andrew Kupersmith, Max Chestnut from Columbus, Benedict Jones, Eli McCormick, Camryn Greer and Mallory Elver, and Bloomington cornerstone, Tim Clower. The filling in this donut is a recording of Beck's moving and historic speech commemorating the unveiling of the Bloomington monolith.

Try as they might, Gildy just doesn't take a hint when our young lovebirds try to convince Gildy & Leroy to PLEASE GO FISHING. It's a funny Great Gildersleeve from May 14, 1952 today on Volume 172 of Sounds Like Radio. Your Humble Host has brought along some mighty fine singers and songs for you too. Joining us will be Jaye P. Morgan in a neat stereo song, Louis Armstrong & Bing Crosby, Martha Tilton, Hoagy Carmichael, a bit of jazz from Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker & Bill Evans, Jo Stafford sings like a bird, and the great Leon Redbone walks around. Bing will even do an encore of one of his best songs from my favorite Bing album. Now that's what I call a show.

I think this record might go down as my favorite from the five records we are playing in the month of March to celebrate what would have been Glenn Miller's 120th birthday on March first. The featured trumpet player on this album has such a soft sound that really fits in with the Miller sound, yet stands out to make each song his own. His solos are delicate, yet hardly boring. As they were when he played for the Miller band. He was a cool-toned cornetist who always sounded relaxed no matter what the setting or the tempo. So get ready to hear some great songs made famous by the Glenn Miller orchestra in a setting of wall to wall strings and brass in Volume 167: Bobby's Miller Pearls. More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Here's the article from Kim Filed mentioned in this episode.  Credits and copyrights Bobby Hackett – A String Of Pearls Label: Epic – LN 24174 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Released: 1965 Genre: Jazz Style: Big Band We'll hear 6 of the 12 songs on this album.

Hoagy Carmichael, The Triple-Digit Midget is back for Round 2. Hoagy is the driving force behind Hoagy's Heroes, a Fund Raising organization that helps raise money for charity through long distance riding experiences in conjunction with The Iron Butt Association. The last time we had him on he was on Cloud 9, charged and ready to go and full of stories. The best stories were heard off the record for fears of his local Church parishioners potential for the call for his Ruination. Sit back with us as Hoagy takes the reins. https://www.hoagysheroes.org Our Master link: https://linktr.ee/thebikerslifestylepodcast

Booker T. Jones is one of the true geniuses of American music, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer as a keyboardist, composer, and bandleader (see “Green Onions,” “Soul Man,” “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay,” etc.), but also as a producer, which is the role he played in the creation of Willie's 1978 masterpiece, Stardust. It was a highly improbable pairing and production, and on this OBW episode, Booker explains all of it—how he met Willie, how they picked the songs, how they ended up recording in Emmylou Harris's living room—with a focus on the Hoagy Carmichael classic, “Georgia on My Mind.”

Jerry Byrd [08:27] "Cold Cold Heart" Satin Strings of Steel Monument SLP 8033 1965 Getting very aloha with Hank's classic.

The Hot Dogs [18:13] "Feel Real Fine" Say What You Mean Ardent Records ADS-2805 1973 A great little gem of a Big Star adjacent album. Digging this track by Terry Manning. Tom Jones [21:12] "Come to Me" Say You'll Stay Until Tomorrow Epic PE 34468 1977 That's right, the theme song from The Pink Panther Strikes Again (https://youtu.be/vH4-8qR79WY?si=t1IrFzJuuVfkDknP&t=7) (Edwards, 1976). You know, the one with the castle in Bavaria? My brothers and I went with my mother to see this one in the theaters instead of staying home and watching Super Bowl XI (Raiders v Vikings) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_XI). Daniel Ocko [24:07] "The Guitar Player" Great Ghost Stories Troll Records 50-002 1973 Oops... right genre, wrong cover. The record is Great Ghost Stories but the sleeve is Scary Spooky Stories.

Scott Walker [38:34] "Amsterdam" Scott (Aloner) Smash Records SRS 67099 1967 Alright, so I'm cheating a little on this one too. The US release of Walker's first album, Scott, was titled Aloner. But I didn't have this album when we were running through Albums that begin with the letter A as in Alpha. It's really difficult to pick just one song to play here. My instinct wanted to go with "The Lady Came from Baltimore (https://youtu.be/7gFECZErdBY?si=Pi-CIpL5RRu22aA7)" but the atmosphere of his cover of Brel's "Amsterdam" (https://youtu.be/-Z0UGGvb4sQ?si=2SIFvLXn7CvA80UT) is so good. Siouxsie & the Banshees [43:21] "Mirage" The Scream Polydor POLD 5009 1978 The amazing debut album from Siouxsie and the Banshees. A pretty remarkable effort front to back. The version of "Mirage" that appears on this album gains a little polish but still retains the energy of the Peel Session version the year before (https://youtu.be/0S_vlZg7xBQ?si=1NqDL9OM6OhrSn50). Judas Priest [46:11] "The Hellion/Electric Eye" Screaming for Vengeance Columbia FC 38160 1982 One of the greatest 1-2 punches in album opening history. You know exactly what you are in store for.

Time to revisit a songwriter from the 20th century whose influence is still felt today. Notwithstanding his unworldly talent for melodies, Hoagy Carmichael left a legacy of the smart alec piano player in the corner, reflecting on all that was around him, composing several hundred songs including fifty that achieved hit-record status during his long career. From his 1927 recording that introduced Stardust to later Hollywood songs that stood the test of time, including Ray Charles' Georgia On My Mind or Willie Nelson's Stardust, his songwriting was only matched by his personality, lowdown and smooth, able to sell his songs to lyricists, music publishers, film producers, and promoting them to the public via microphones on stage and in mass media. We'll spend a couple hours with his music…from Paul Whiteman to The Brother Brothers, here on Sonoma County Community Radio. Hope you can join us.

William Wyler's 1946 multiple Oscar winner “The Best Years of Our Lives” tackles this subject with grace, nuance and warmth through the stories of three veterans returning to the fictional town of Boone City. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – for an in-depth conversation about this magnificent film that details the post-war life of a trio of servicemen - each a different rank and from varied socioeconomic backgrounds - as they try to reestablish their lives and rediscover purpose with loved ones as we continue our 1947 Academy Award Best Writing Screenplay nominee series with a look at Wyler's 1946 classic The Best Years of Our Lives.Here's a hint at what we talk about:The film begins with our three protagonists – Fred, Al and Homer – meeting by chance on a flight home, immediately establishing the camaraderie and connection that comes from shared experience. However, their stories quickly diverge as each tries to reintegrate into society and reconnect with jobs, family and partners with varying degrees of success.Fred was a captain and bomber pilot but now finds himself unable to get a job despite his officer status. Al is a married sergeant and banker struggling with alcoholism and a family dynamic that shifted in his absence. Homer, who lost his hands in combat, worries that his girl won't still love him with prosthetic hooks.The performances are extraordinary, led by Best Actor winner Fredric March along with Dana Andrews and real veteran and double Oscar winner Harold Russell in his film debut. The women – Myrna Loy, Teresa Wright, Cathy O'Donnell, and Virginia Mayo – each play their roles with nuance, rounding out the principal cast.Beyond the acting, William Wyler's direction is exquisite, with cinematographer Gregg Toland delivering long, deep focus shots that enhance storytelling and emotion. It's a searing, humanistic look at the complexities of war's aftermath and the resilience of the human spirit.We unpack this layered, resonant story and Wyler's masterful direction. It remains painfully relevant today and delivers a complex, poignant punch. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

What is a “buttermilk sky?,” I asked myself. It's such an evocative image, and for years I would simply envision a magnificent sunset of red and gold, suffused through a canopy of fluffy clouds. I googled it, and I was right! Up came rows of beautiful celestial pics, and although those photos are fantastic, the image in my mind's eye had them all beat - attached as it was to an indefinable, stirring emotion within me, mystical in its effect.   That lyric was summoned from the ether by Jack Brooks, with Hoagy Carmichael writing the music. Hoagy introduced the tune in the film “Canyon Passage” with Dana Andrews, but, its appeal transcended the Cowboy genre. It was so popular that in December of 1946 there were four versions of the song in the top 20, led by Kay Kyser's band at #1. You may be aware that Hoagy was also the composer of “Stardust”, considered by most to be the best pop standard of the Great American Songbook ever written. And, he wrote the anthemic “Georgia on my Mind”. Film clips of him reveal one of the most relaxed and natural performers who ever appeared on celluloid - usually seated at a piano.  In my Acting class we screened “The Best Years of Our Lives” and Hoagy's encounter with the amputee Harold Russell, as he gives avuncular advice to the traumatized vet while tinkling the ivories is one of my favorite moments in a classic film stuffed with unforgettable scenes. I'm not sure, but my sense is that the image of the buttermilk sky reminds us of the evanescence of life, and the sweet sadness of a longed-for love.

Jordan Barrow is currently making his Broadway debut as the principal role of Boq in "Wicked", making him the first black actor to play the role in North America. He talks about how he got into performing—from joining a theatre camp to doing voiceover work and getting his first professional job when he was 13. He shares how didn't sing until he was 11 and even cried after getting the role of Danny Zuko and finding out he had to sing in front of people for a Grease musical in a summer camp. Jordan explains why he decided to go to school instead of pursuing acting right away (his agent ended up dropping him eventually). He shares his career journey from auditioning for Shakespeare in the Park in 2015 to booking a guest starring part on “POSE”. Jordan gets real about how the pandemic affected his work, wherein he lost 14 weeks of work removed, but despite that, it was also during the pandemic that he auditioned for "Wicked" and got the role of Boq. He shares that it was his fifth time auditioning and that he did not give up thanks to his mindset of how every audition is an audition for the next thing. He recalls his Broadway debut and what the experience was like, doing spot-check rehearsals, and what makes his work exciting and fresh.

This week, the podcast kicks off a special, Live from Luck! mini-season of OBW, four interviews conducted this March at Willie's central Texas ranch with artists performing later that day at his annual Luck Reunion. Up first is three-time Grammy nominee Allison Russell, who discusses Willie's landmark 1978 recording of Hoagy Carmichael's “Stardust.” It's one of the most covered titles in the Great American Songbook, and Allison explains why she thinks Willie's version is definitive... before explaining how his vocals make her think of Billie Holiday and why she played the Stardust album nonstop for her newborn daughter.

In this episode of Listening with Leckrone, we focus on a single song, Hoagy Carmichael's legendary "Stardust." With over 1,500 recordings, "Stardust" lends itself to a wide range of musical styles and interpretations. Mike guides us through a handful of these renditions, exploring how each artist put their own spin on the iconic song. 

#747 - Michael McCloud The Michael McCloud interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour. We've got an interesting one for you on this episode, ladies and gentlemen. Paul has always been a little shy about getting it out there as you'll soon hear why. The interviewee is Michael McCloud, a Key West original. He performs regularly at the Schooners Wharf Bar, and has for many years. He's known for a very unique voice, creative songs and the stories he tells in between song performances. This was recorded on location in Key West, Florida at the Schooner's Wharf Bar in-between one of Michael McCloud's live sets. And let's just say Paul had…. well, he had been enjoying some cold beverages, which is what a lot of people do way down in the Keys. Maybe this was a few too many to have before an interview. After a few drinks, Paul Leslie and his longtime friend Dèjá, like as in Deja Vu… sat down with Michael McCloud. There aren't a lot of interviews with Michael McCloud out there, but Paul is glad he got a chance to do it with Deja. Hello, Deja! Little fact for you, this was the one and only time that Paul did a co-interview. It hasn't happened since. Michael McCloud writes some great songs… He can do clever and he does pensive. All great stuff. Some of his great songs include “I'll Never Really Love You,” and “One Good Christian Man,” oh yeah and “Peace and Quiet.” He's a great, great singer-songwriter. He also does some great covers. You may hear him doing the Hoagy Carmichael classic “Scotch and Soda” or Steve Goodman's “City of New Orleans,” or “Over the Rainbow.” Little fact for you: Paul Leslie's very first radio broadcast ever, he closed that very first episode with Michael McCloud's “Over the Rainbow.” It's sublime. Check out Michael McCloud at michaelmccloud.com You'll be very happy with yourself if you pick up a CD or two. Or three. Real quick, help keep The Paul Leslie Hour going. Throw a little something in the tip jar by going to thepaulleslie.com/support We thank you. So here it is, the Michael McCloud interview. Yes, people wrote in when this broadcast. It embarrassed Paul that he was a little tipsy, but we can't deny what's on the tape. Let's play it. Paul says he won't let it happen again. The Paul Leslie Hour - Helping People Tell Their Stories is a talk show with new episodes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

In this episode we invite the great Peter Guralnick — Zooming in from his native Massachusetts — to discuss his "adventures in music and writing"… to quote the subtitle of his wonderful 2020 collection Looking to Get Lost.Peter takes his hosts back to his discovery of Delta blues giants Skip James and Robert Johnson in the early '60s — and to the first pieces he wrote for Paul Williams' Crawdaddy! in 1966. He explains his approach to the masterful profiles he collected in Feel Like Going Home and Lost Highway, and the friendships with Charlie Rich and Bobby "Blue" Bland that resulted from them. Conversation leads from Howlin' Wolf to Solomon Burke and southern soul, and from there to the use of Val Wilmer's remarkable photos in Peter's books.Talk of Memphis and Muscle Shoals prompts Mark to introduce the first of three clips from Barney's 1985 audio interview with Atlantic Records legend Jerry Wexler. Peter reminisces about his relationship with "Wex" (and with Ray Charles), then follows up with riveting recall of Joe Tex and Jerry Lee Lewis. Pieces by Memphis writer Andria Lisle — one of many Guralnick disciples — brings us on to discussion of Bobby Bland and the late Hi Rhythm section drummer Howard Grimes. We also remember the brilliant Betty Davis and Syl ('Is It Because I'm Black?') Johnson.Finally, Mark quotes from newly-added library pieces about John Lee Hooker, Nik Venet, the Nazz and Simon Napier-Bell, while Jasper notes articles about Norah Jones and Robert Glasper. Bringing things full circle, Barney quotes from Peter's friend Bill Millar's tribute to recently-deceased soul specialist Bob Fisher.Many thanks to special guest Peter Guralnick.
