Dive into the electrifying atmosphere of live music on this episode, as we take a detour from studio recordings to explore the raw energy and spontaneous magic of live performances.

Join us as we trace the origins of Joe Walsh's musical journey and examine the intricate layers of "Meadows," from the driving guitar riff that hooks you in, to the dual drummers and star-studded band lineup that includes the likes of Don Felder, Jay Ferguson, and Willie Weeks. With two drummers, two keyboard players, and a percussionist, you'll discover how this ensemble manages a tight, uncluttered sound that defines true musicians. Whether you're a die-hard Joe Walsh fan or just love the thrill of a great live album, tune in and turn it up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jay Ferguson (Mad Men, The Conners) joins us this week to share the defining moment in his life where he chose to put his ego to the side for the sake of his family and career… and how that decision ultimately lead to him landing roles on hits like Mad Men and The Conners. Jay opens up about the unexpected emotions and compounded feelings that come from the loss of a close loved one as he shares stories about his late great mother. We also get into nerves working alongside Bert Reynolds, getting an inch and taking a mile with Leonardo DiCaprio, and an all-time story about our first meeting during a sitcom.

Episode 075 of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick features an interview with author Joyce Reynolds-Ward. Joyce Reynolds-Ward (also find her on Twitter!) creates science fiction and fantasy works featuring themes of high-stakes family and political conflict, digital sentience, personal agency and control, realistic strong women, and (whenever possible) horses, frequently in Pacific Northwest settings. Joyce is a Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off semifinalist, a Writers of the Future semifinalist, and an Anthology Builder finalist. She is the Secretary of the Northwest Independent Writers Association, a fellow member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and a member of Soroptimists International. Joyce writes in a variety of storyworlds, including The Netwalk Sequence, Goddess's Honor, and The Martiniere books. She also has several stand-alone novels and other works out there in the world. Our conversation covers why and what she writes, her definition of success and how close she is to accomplishing it, worldbuilding, character-driven storytelling, working around genre restrictions and expectations, the slow build of organic community building, managing ADHD with systems and structure, and a whole lot more. This episode was recorded on March 15th, 2023. The conversation with Joyce Reynolds-Ward was recorded on January 18th, 2023. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode My day job? I'm a creative services provider helping authors, podcasters and other creators. How can I help you?

Then again, maybe I've found it... but it's going to take some tinkering. Learn about Obsidian. You'll have to listen to the episode to discover why I mention the song "Thunder Island" by Jay Ferguson. Ursula K. Le Guin comes up a lot on this podcast. This time around, Joyce and I talk about Always Coming Home and The Lathe of Heaven, two undeniable classics. Joyce mentions Hovenweep National Monument. Want one of those easels Joyce mentions? Check it out. Joyce mentions Scrivener, a writing software application you've probably heard of. Some of the authors Joyce mentions as reference points for her own work include Ivan Doig, Willa Cather, and John Steinbeck. Joyce, like myself, chafes at genre expectations and restrictions. Here is the Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick episode wherein I really get going about genres and tropes. Joyce mentions The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather as having a beautiful descriptive passage. Joyce calls author Phyllis Irene Radford a mentor. What is a tickler file? TinyLetter is one of many choices for your e-mail marketing services provider. I prefer ConvertKit. Looking for a way to do direct sales of your books and other creative products?

Last month, an 8-year-old boy and his dad “climbed” El Capitan with the help of two other anonymous climbers who presumably guided the father-son team, fixing all the ropes so they could jug up the wall. We look at the media attention this ascent received, and discuss our concerns over claiming these kinds of records. Our main guest is a woman who Lynn Hill once called, “the greatest female sport climber” — Katie Brown. Katie has produced a new memoir about her precocious life as a world-class competition and sport climber, as well as her fraught relationship with her mom, her struggles with eating disorders, and how becoming a mom herself has helped her reframe everything. Our final bit is pulled from the archives of The Davenports with this yacht rock classic cover of Jay Ferguson's 1977 song Thunder Island. Who's that on bass, you ask? None other than our own Chris Kalous. Show Notes Did an 8-year-old actually climb Yosemite's El Capitan? Not really.

Return to Mu : Return to Mu - Merrell Fankhauser-The eccentric guitar/ songwriting genius behind psych/folk-rockers Fapardokly and H.M.S. Bounty-is back on the scene with an all-new album of shimmering delights from MU, his long-dormant band of lysergic visionaries. Return To MU not only flashes the utopian spirit of those golden days of the Summer Of Love, it features many of its original participants, including: Quicksilver Messenger Service guitar god John Cipollina, Jay Ferguson and Ed Cassidy of Spirit, John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rolling Stones/Kinks session keyboard whiz Nicky Hopkins.

Formed in London in 1969, Uriah Heep released their fourth and (to this point) most successful album, Demons and Wizards in May 1972.  This album would also see the debut of what is considered the classic lineup of Uriah Heep as bassist Gary Thain and drummer Lee Kerslake joined vocalist David Byron, guitarist Mick Box, and keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter Ken Hensley to form the group for this album.  While the album cover and title suggest medieval fantasy, Hensley has stated that it was just a collection of songs, not a concept album.  It is hard to deny the prog rock feel, however.Uriah Heep is considered a forerunner of hard rock, heay metal, and progressive rock.  They have developed quite the cult following over the years, having released 24 studio albums, 20 live albums, and 41 compilation albums.Roger Dean created the cover art, as he did for a number of prog rock groups including Yes and Asia.The name Uriah Heep comes from a character from Charles Dickens' "David Copperfield"Brian is featuring this album.  Friend of the show Bill Cook joins us in Bruce's place for this episode. The Wizard Former bassist Mark Clarke and Ken Hensley wrote this song, the opening track to the album and the first single released from the album.  The lyrics are about a wanderer who meets "the Wizard for a thousand kings."  It would be the first Uriah Heep song to be made into a video.Easy Livin'The second single off the album would be the only one to chart in the United States, making it to number 39 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Surprisingly it did not chart in the UK.  This is a common cover for party bands, though it was intended to be taken ironically.Circle of HandsThis is a deeper cut from the album, starting strong with the Hammond Organ.  With lyrics like "Circle of hands, cold spirits' plan, searching the land for an enemy,"  it is hard to not see a thread of fantasy running through the track.Rainbow DemonThis track leads off side 2 of the album.  "There rides the rainbow demon on his horse of crimson fire.  Black shadows are following closely on the heels of his desire."  This slow anthem continues with the strong organ work and combines it with a fuzzy guitar sound. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Sitting Pretty (from the motion picture "Cabaret")  Liza Minnelli and Michael York starred in this movie based on the Broadway show. STAFF PICKS:I Saw the Light by Todd RundgrenRob's staff pick was the lead-off track from Rundgren's third album, "Something/Anything?" and was placed there via inspiration from Motown's history of putting the hit songs first.  Multi-instrumentalist Rundgren wrote the track in 20 minutes and credits the use of stimulants like Ritalin for his prolific songwriting at the time.  Run Run Run  by JoJo GunneBill Cook brings us a shuffle beat number by Los Angeles based JoJo Gunne, a band formed by Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes after they left the band Spirit.  "We're all just papers in the wind."  Sweet Hitch-Hiker by Creedence Clearwater Revival Wayne presents an underplayed swamp rock song from CCR.  This is off their last album with John Fogerty.  A restaurant called the Greasy King is referenced in the song, and that restaurant is in El Cerrito, the home town of the band members.Baby Blue by BadfingerBrian finishes off the staff picks with a song from an album produced by Todd Rundgren.  Badfinger was the first group signed to The Beatles' Apple Records.  This is the last top 40 hit in the US for the group.     COMEDY TRACK:Troglodyte (Cave Man) by The Jimmy Castor BunchThis is a funk novelty song hit number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The song is the introduction of a character called Bertha Butt, who would recur in other songs from the Jimmy Castor Bunch.

It's the 25th anniversary of Sloan's 1998 album Navy Blues and to celebrate we're talking with Sloan guitarist Jay Ferguson. Jay shares tons of fun stories about the era surrounding Navy Blues but before that we go back to Sloan's signing to DGC and through their albums Twice Removed and One Chord to Another. Jackson, Noyan Hilmi and Alex Hryshko begin the episode talking about their history of loving Sloan from the beginning of their career right up to today.
