Podcasts about KEB

We are so honored to welcome Keb' Mo' (aka Kevin Moore) on the show for our 350th episode! After many decades of incredible music, his new solo acoustic album, The Breakdown, was written and recorded at his home studio near Nashville following open-heart surgery and personal life changes. He's also recently released his second collaborative album with the legendary Taj Mahal.We were blown away by Keb' Mo's definition of the blues: "honesty music." There's a lot of debate nowadays whether the blues is something that includes a formal set of requirements. Is it a genre? Is it a type of sound that's trapped in a particular historical era? Kevin didn't even give the time of day to any of those gatekeeper explanations. He said if the music has that honesty, has the moan and the sense of speaking to Black experience for a Black audience who understand what it's like to struggle, that's what the blues is.There's a spectrum of humility to ego in music. Some artists use music and performance as vehicles for their own notoriety. During this interview, I was struck by how far on the opposite end of the spectrum Keb' Mo' falls. Kevin went from being a kid in Compton asking his parents for a guitar, knowing how much $25 meant in those days, to now being an artist sponsored by so many guitar companies. He still remembers a time when the idea of having a collection of guitars was crazy talk. His humility during our conversation is so present. I asked Kevin, "What does success mean to you and do you think you've achieved it?" His answer was, "I get to keep playing and I don't have to get a regular job." Even after all these years and so many accolades, it's a privilege for him to play his own original music in front of people and to be a part of this tradition.I just wanna shout out how generous Kevin is as a conversation partner. I came into this interview nervous because he's one of the more legendary guests that we've had on the show. I found myself a number of times having to sit back and receive a compliment. He's the first to say, "That was a great question. You're really thoughtful. You're killing it!" So I was really lucky to interview him. - Lizzie NoFollow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknewsHelp produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/Interested in sponsoring us?

Hi, and welcome to another episode of The Talk Music Podcast!I'm thrilled to welcome JUNO Award–winning Canadian blues guitarist STEVE STRONGMAN as my guest. We recorded this most entertaining chat on my back porch on a beautiful afternoon, so listen closely and you'll hear some birds chirping in the background.Steve is one of Canada's top blues artists/guitarists, and his recording journey actually began back in 2004 with the album Honey, which I released successfully on my indie label via A&M Records. Reminiscing about that time working together made this conversation extra special and fun for me. Since then, Steve has built an incredible discography, including his 2013 JUNO-winning album A Natural Fact. His records highlight talented artists such as Harrison Kennedy, Jessie O'Brien, Crystal Shawanda, Rob Szabo, Dave King, Steve Marriner and many others. He's also an acclaimed producer, having co-written and co-produced Struck Down by Kim Wilson and The Fabulous Thunderbirds—a GRAMMY-nominated project featuring Bonnie Raitt, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal, and Mick Fleetwood (and we go deep into how this record came together over a 2 year period).Steve has shared the stage with legends like B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Johnny Winter, and Jeff Healey, and in this chat we delve into his musical journey up to now, the story behind his favourite guitar, and as a bonus I also feature Steve with a live solo acoustic porch performance of "Struck Down (by the Blues)." Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Een wat andere invulling van TORcast: een uurtje muziek die het best is samen te vatten als “Americana” (mijn andere muzikale liefde, naast jazz en klassiek). Americana: de moderne erfgenaam van de Amerikaanse rootsmuziek, waarin de verhalende kracht van folk, de emotie van blues, de traditie van country en af en toe de muzikale kleuren van jazz samenkomen. Playlist: Keb’Mo’: One Day Away; Keb’Mo’, Soweto Gospel Choir: Hand It Over; Kenny Wayne Shepherd: Deja Voodoo; Joe Bonamassa, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton: The Thrill Is Gone; Eric Bibb: This One Don’t; Buddy Guy, Tracy Chapman): Ain’t No Sunshine; John Scofield, John Mayer: I Don’t Need No Doctor; Elles Bailey: Best Believe; Philip Kroonenberg: Song For John Lagrand; Ad Vanderveen: If Words Were Notes; Hans Theessink: St. James Infirmary. Americana is geen strikt afgebakend muziekgenre, maar eerder een verzamelnaam voor verschillende vormen van Amerikaanse rootsmuziek. De stijl bouwt voort op tradities uit folk, blues, country en gospel, en neemt soms ook elementen uit jazz over. Wat deze muzieksoorten verbindt, is hun nadruk op authenticiteit, verhalen en emotionele expressie. Van de blues erft Americana de oprechte gevoelsuitdrukking en thema's als liefde, verlies, hoop en het gewone leven. De muziek klinkt vaak warm, doorleefd en menselijk. Uit de folk komen vooral de verhalende liedteksten en het gebruik van akoestische instrumenten zoals gitaar, banjo, mandoline en viool. Hierdoor staat niet zozeer technische perfectie centraal, maar het vertellen van een verhaal. De relatie met jazz is minder direct, maar zeker aanwezig. Sommige Americana-artiesten verwerken jazzinvloeden in hun harmonieën, ritmiek of muzikale vrijheid. Daardoor krijgt de muziek soms meer kleur en diepgang zonder haar rootskarakter te verliezen. Americana kan daarom worden gezien als een muzikale brug tussen de emotionele kracht van blues, de vertelkunst van folk en de muzikale verfijning van jazz. Het resultaat is een toegankelijke, authentieke stijl die sterk geworteld is in de Amerikaanse muziektraditie, maar tegelijk ruimte biedt voor persoonlijke interpretatie en moderne invloeden.

Hoy hablamos del gran Keb' Mo' —nombre de guerra de Kevin Roosevelt Moore— y su discazo "Slow Down", esa pieza maestra que nos regaló en 1998 bajo el mítico sello OKEH. Este trabajo no es cualquier cosa; se llevó el Grammy al Mejor Álbum de Blues Contemporáneo en el 99, consolidando a Keb' como el heredero moderno del blues rural.

Hermann Ebbinghaus is remembered mostly for discovering the forgetting curve. Open any psychology textbook, any blog devoted to a flashcard app or any study-tips listicle, and you’ll find his name alongside a distinctive graph. Memory expert Tony Buzan called it the most important graph in the world. That’s because its iconic line shows memory plummeting within hours of learning something new, then flattening out over days. Countless discussions of how to reduce forgetting give you the same tidy recommendations. Usually they tell you to review your study materials at intervals, just at the point you’re starting to forget. That way, many authors promise, you’ll beat the curve. The problem, just one of many you’ll discover today, is this: Ebbinghaus didn’t discover the forgetting curve. He discovered his forgetting curve. He was one man, testing his own memory, on one kind of material, using one method. And although the forgetting curve is indeed one of the most repeatable and reproducible principles in the history of scientific studies, reproducibility in laboratory settings does not mean you’ll stop forgetting by using the conventional recommendations. Besides, here’s something almost no one else will tell you: The deepest principles the Ebbinghaus experiments revealed were already written down more than two thousand years earlier by Aristotle. You’ll find them in a short treatise that describes something remarkably close to using a Memory Palace in combination with the same kind of serial positioning Ebbinghaus described as a means for reducing forgetting. So today I’m going to cover a few aspects of the forgetting curve all serious users of memory techniques need to know. These are points I’ve been putting off writing about for a long time. However, a few emails and comments I’ve received over the past few years have convinced me that now is finally the time. Especially since I’ve spent decades memorizing poetry, scripture, mantras, complex terms, the names of people from various backgrounds and vocabulary and phrases in multiple languages. And I’ve done this all while teaching thousands of students to do the same. From where I sit as a practitioner, the forgetting curve is real, useful and badly misunderstood. But treated correctly, it’s an invitation to success. First, however, for the uninitiated, let’s make sure we’re on the same page about the definition of this term. That way, you’ll be able to discover your own curve and work on reducing its impact in your learning life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_qwUkfO65M   What Is the Forgetting Curve? In 1885, Ebbinghaus published Über das Gedächtnis (Memory: A Contribution to Experimental Psychology). In this monumental work, he reported years of experiments he had run on a single subject: himself. He memorized lists of sinnlose Silben, the German term for nonsense syllables. These were consonant-vowel-consonant combinations like ZOF and KEB. After committing lists of such invented words, he then tested how much effort it took to relearn them after various delays. Notice two things. First, these were invented words. Nothing with any meaning. Second, pay attention to the word relearn. Ebbinghaus did not measure memory only by asking whether he could reproduce an entire list perfectly. He also measured what he called “savings” in the context of relearning. This study goes quite deep into the nuances and implications of this particular concept for memory. To get the concept in brief, suppose it initially took you 20 repetitions to learn something. If it took only 10 repetitions to relearn it later, some trace of the original learning clearly remained. Your inability to reproduce the information perfectly would not mean the memory had disappeared completely. Keep this idea of “savings” in mind. It matters more than the famous graph, and we’ll return to it when I show you what happened to a long Sanskrit mantra I intentionally abandoned for years. It also connects to some concepts in memory introduced by Richard Semon and studied more recently by Dr. Paul Garrett in relation to the role of fuzzy memory. Back to Ebbinghaus, the  result of his experiments is what we now call the forgetting curve. It shows how retention drops steeply at first, then the decline slows. He also documented what we now call the spacing effect. It describes how reviews distributed over time preserve more in long-term memory than the same number of reviews crammed together. All of what Ebbinghaus found replicates, so his science is not in question here. What’s in question is what you and I should actually do with his findings.  And that’s where things really start to get interesting. Ebbinghaus Was an Early n=1 Memorizer Notice what Ebbinghaus actually was: A practitioner running experiments on his own memory. In today’s language, he was doing n=1 self-experimentation. He had skin in the game, memorized real material with his own mind, and measured what happened. I took his actions as both a lesson and an inspiration. It’s just that rather than memorize nonsense (apart from a bit of Kurt Schwitters’ “Ursonate”), I’ve focused on applying memory techniques to Chinese, scripture, poetry and facts related to law school. But you will never see the results you can achieve by reading about Ebbinghaus. You’ll only see it by memorizing information yourself and paying attention to what happens next. Tony Buzan was great about splitting the difference during his ThinkBuzan seminars. He taught memory techniques, but also had participants draw their own graph of the forgetting curve. Here’s mine: In sum, reading about the forgetting curve while never memorizing anything is like reading about swimming while refusing to get wet. Is There Such a Thing As Too Much Scientific Literacy? Years ago, Harry Lorayne coached me on becoming a successful memory coach. I followed just about everything he said, except one thing. He said, “whatever you do, don’t tell ’em about the science.” The reason I ignored the advice is that: I’m very interested in memory science Studying it has helped me discover many powerful memory activities and brain exercises The only problem I’ve seen is that about a year ago, students of all ages started writing to me in the language of science at an increasing rate. And for many, the various terms and memory statistics available online have created anxiety and perfectionism I don’t think needs to exist. For example, a medical student taking the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass recently emailed multiple times with worries about whether his review schedule was set to properly combat the “decay function.” Now, obviously, the research on memory genuinely matters. I cite it often and terms like this can be useful for forming a solid practice with using mnemonics. But Lorayne’s warning has started to take on a strange and unexpected sense because something strange happens when the vocabulary of science replaces practice. After all, science is mostly there to describe, not proscribe. We can certainly use scientific findings to improve our practice, but it’s not helpful to let techniques that have been used happily for thousands of years become the source of anxiety thanks to scientific papers. Don’t Let These Terms Interfere With Your Memory Training It’s not only beginners with memory techniques or medical students who would tend towards scientific verbiage when contacting me. I regularly hear from people fluent in the terminology, sometimes with publications to their name. A published researcher wrote me recently and had thoroughly reasoned himself into genuine paradox. Amongst other things, he wanted to know what a trained mnemonist’s memory does “without any technique.” Now, you certainly can get a swimmer to demonstrate what a particular stroke looks like without the water. And in the context of memory training, the question can sound rigorous. But in my view, this kind of question suggests that the researcher has lost contact with the very thing he’s asking about. This is because someone with a trained memory can’t isolate a ‘raw baseline’ without risking cognitive paradox. I would have to reflect on my use of mnemonic methods while not using them. And since he immediately followed-up with a pseudo-scientific claim about photographic memory, I knew he was not taking Ebbinghaus’ n=1 practice as an example by actually using the techniques himself. After all, photographic memory has been thoroughly debunked and I’ve demonstrated many times over that it not only does not exist. The term itself makes zero sense. So this is where some nuance about the forgetting curve is very important to the serious user of memory techniques. No matter who you are, you need to make contact with actual remembering. Aristotle Described the Core Principle Two Thousand Years Ago Actually studying and practicing a wide variety of memory techniques will get you insight far more interesting and impactful than any psychology textbook could hope to provide. In De Memoria et Reminiscentia, Aristotle describes recollection as movement through an ordered series. At one point in the book, he uses a sequence like the letters of the alphabet and gives strikingly practical advice that deeply inspired what I call Recall Rehearsal. This is a form of spaced repetition applied specifically to the Memory Palace technique. As Aristotle puts it, if you forget something, don’t start over from the beginning. Start from the middle of the series and move outward from there. Richard Sorabji, in his landmark study Aristotle on Memory, admits that he doesn’t understand what Aristotle is talking about in this passage. That’s a courageous confession, as many scholars would just make something up or speculate. As a practitioner of memory techniques with decades of experience, I can tell you what I believe Aristotle is describing. It’s either: An alphabetically labeled Memory Palace An early description of serial positioning and spaced repetition Or a description that provided the inspiration for creating this kind of Memory Palace practice. It’s genuinely difficult to say which. But either way, the principle and how it reduces unwanted forgetting is unmistakable to anyone who has actually run the technique. In case you have never used a Memory Palace, it involves ordered locations, deliberate starting points, and strategic entry into the middle of a sequence as part of several spaced repetition patterns that establish substantial retention. Modern Practitioners Who Know How to Beat the Forgetting Curve  You can trace this practitioner lineage forward through Peter of Ravenna, Jacobus Publicius, Robert Fludd, Giordano Bruno, and in our own time, mnemonists like myself and Lynne Kelly (especially in her book, Memory Craft). Our combination of fieldwork and daily personal practice in particular sets the standard for studying these techniques. Certainly Frances Yates deserves credit for reviving scholarly interest in mnemonics through her book, The Art of Memory, but she acknowledged never practicing the techniques herself. Frankly, it shows. Her treatment of memory wheels, for example, creates the impression they were used as Memory Palaces, which is possible but unlikely. Practice changes what you can see in the Memory Palace books you read. Why does the Aristotle passage matter for the forgetting curve? Because his advice that you should “start from the middle” of a sequence of information you keep forgetting is serial positioning in action. And serial positioning is the key to defeating the curve. My Own Forgetting Curve, Observed in the Wild The reason I’ve never tried to reproduce Ebbinghaus’s experiment formally by memorizing nonsense is precisely because you see advice on how to beat the forgetting curve thousands of years before he conducted his research. That said, I have watched my own forgetting curve operate over years, and the observations I’ve made are instructive. For example, I worked daily with one long-form mantra built from a few dozen Sanskrit phrases for many years: the Song Celestial. Then I deliberately let it lapse with no rehearsal at all for approximately two years. I was not as deliberate as I could have been in terms of tracking like Ebbinghaus would have. But since the research is so heavily reproducible and we know why Memory Palaces work, I was happy to be casual about it. When I finally came back to this mantra, I was shocked by how much I could still recall. The forgetting curve had certainly caused some “decay.” But it was nothing like what Ebbinghaus’s graph would predict for material of that length after that much neglect. In Ebbinghaus’s own terms, the “savings” were enormous. And the relearning cost me a fraction of the original effort, because the trace was never gone. It was waiting for me. The question is, why? After all, I can’t sing songs I used to know by heart when I was a kid? Part of the answer is that I never stopped reciting the other three Sanskrit mantras I have memorized. They have very similar meanings, and in many cases, some of the same words. The meaning element in particular suggests that I partly benefitted from stronger retention due to what scientists call context dependence. Because I never left the realm of reciting Sanskrit entirely, that must explain the higher rate of retention. Compare this to my previous career as a Film Studies professor. I hardly watch movies anymore, let alone read theoretical books about them or lecture for weeks on end during a traditional university semester. The lack of context has accelerated the force of the forgetting curve and deskilled my chops as a film scholar. Memory Palaces: Structured Spaced Retrieval Systems That Beat Forgetting Apart from context-dependent memory benefits, another reason I could recall so much of a mantra despite not reciting it for years has to do with how I memorized it: using the Memory Palace technique. Not as a party trick, but as a structured spaced retrieval system. To learn more about how it works, check out my Complete Guide to the Memory Palace technique. In brief, the key is to place information tethered to associations along the stations of a Memory Palace and then practice Recall Rehearsal following patterns no software like Anki can guide you through. Titus Andronicus and Recall Rehearsal in Action My favorite demonstration where I show you Recall Rehearsal in action involves Shakespeare, specifically a passage from Titus Andronicus I memorized for my case study of how Anthony Hopkins memorizes his scripts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjIkGu32CA I’ve retained the passage ever since running it through Recall Rehearsal with minimal repetition. Or better said, I repeat these lines often, but now it’s performance, not just recitation. But the interesting thing isn’t really that I can recite this passage. Anyone can chain words together through brute force rote learning and recite lines like these forward. The proof of the power of Recall Rehearsal is that I can recite the lines out of order: Jumping between sections Running lines in reverse Reciting the odd-numbered lines and then the even numbered lines It’s now probably my favorite demonstration because it makes the power of serial positioning visible. Even better: I’m not alone in enjoying the benefits of improved retention. Magnetic Memory Method Students Who Have Bent the Curve I’ve watched this play out in my students for years, and two cases capture it especially well. Jeannie Koh spent years learning Koine Greek using rote learning during years of what she said were filled with tears and pain. But after learning to encode with Memory Palaces, she found memorizing “much less painful, and much more enduring over time,” now recalling whole passages in that ancient language with an ease she says feels almost suspicious. Same brain, same language, two encoding methods, two completely different forgetting curves. She’s a one-person controlled experiment. For more success stories, including physicians who used these methods to retrieve high-volume, complex information under exam pressure months after encoding it, check out my testimonials page. The pattern is always the same: the forgetting curve is not destiny. So long as you’re using memory techniques optimally, you can resist it, if not beat it. Should You Reproduce Ebbinghaus’s Experiment? One problem I see time and again is that many people want the exact steps needed to measure their progress. Especially when they hear me discuss how rigorously I use journaling as part of my memory activities. I’m sorry, but the demand for “exact steps” is mostly a desire installed by content marketing. The truth is that there isn’t one exact path. There are several and the real lesson in Ebbinghaus’ story is that you need to get involved in creating your own. You can journal manually by simply memorizing real words or nonsense words. Note the dates, and test yourself over time. What matters is that you work inside projects that matter to you. Whether that’s language learning, poetry, mantras, scripture, use a memory journal to help you test what holds and what fades as you use memory techniques. If you’re competitive, you can study how memory athletes use journaling to sharpen their game. My podcast conversation with Johannes Mallow, in which he explains how journaling improved his competitive standing, will be useful in that regard. Often Forgetting Is Actually a Crisis of Commitment If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the years, it’s that people often take on learning projects connected to lives they do not actually want. They study for a qualification because they believe they should, or to please a family member. As a result, they struggle to memorize information for a job they already suspect will make them miserable. Then they interpret their resistance as a defective memory, when the deeper problem is in fact a conflict of purpose. I’ve had to face this in my own law-school experiment. I could not know in advance exactly what studying law would involve or how well the field would suit me. The saving grace is that trying it has given me greater insight into what’s involved. But now that I’ve seen some of the field from within, I have to ask a different question: Just because I am a mnemonist who can memorize legal Latin quickly and an upcoming presentation I have to give does not mean I must continue pursuing every possible outcome associated with the degree. The ability to remember something does not prove that it deserves years of my life. As I know from my studies in polymathy, memory mastery must include the development of careful selection parameters. In other words, one of the best “meta level” ways to beat the forgetting curve is to decide whether the material deserves a place in your memory at all. If you’d like help picking what to memorize on top of using the Memory Palace technique and Recall Rehearsal, my new training “The System” can help you pick a first project you actually care about. Once you have a learning goal you love, keep a journal as you memorize. Not to reproduce a nineteenth-century experiment, but to watch yourself break the forgetting curve, one piece of info at a time.

Moin aus der KJK! Was passiert eigentlich nach einer belastenden Situation? In dieser Folge spricht Emma mit Max und Arndt über die Kollegiale Erstbetreuung (KEB). Die Arbeit in der Psychiatrie kann mitunter herausfordernd sein. Auch wenn Deeskalation in den allermeisten Fällen gelingt, gibt es Situationen, die für Mitarbeitende emotional oder körperlich belastend sein können. Umso wichtiger ist es, danach nicht allein zu bleiben. Gemeinsam sprechen wir darüber, was Kollegiale Erstbetreuung bedeutet, warum sie ein wichtiger Bestandteil einer wertschätzenden Teamkultur ist und wie sie Mitarbeitende dabei unterstützt, belastende Erlebnisse einzuordnen und zu verarbeiten. Max und Arndt geben Einblicke in ihre Arbeit, erzählen, wie KEB in der Praxis gelebt wird, und zeigen, warum gegenseitige Unterstützung ein wesentlicher Teil professioneller Gesundheitsversorgung ist. Hört rein!

Besmele, işe başlamadan önce, işinin kolaylığa, hafifliğe ve müsamahaya dayanmakta olduğuna kulun dikkatini çekmektir. Böylece, sanki Cenâb-ı Hâkk, senin için zikrettiği kelimenin daha başında, onu, seni affedeceğine, sana lütûfta bulunacağına delil kılmıştır. Anlatıldığına göre Firavun, Tanrılık iddiasında bulunmazdan önce, bir saray yaptırttı. Ve sarayın dış kapısına da, besmelenin yazılmasını emretti. Ulûhiyyet iddiasına kalkışıp da, Hz. Musa (a.s.) peygamber olarak ona gelip, onu hak dine davet edince, onda doğruya ulaşma istidâdı görmedi. Bunun üzerine Hz. Musa (a.s.) şöyle dedi: "Ya Râbbî, onu ne kadar dine davet ettimse de, onda herhangi bir hayır görmedim." Bunun üzerine Cenâb-ı Hâkk şöyle buyurdu: "Ey Musa, belki de sen, onun küfrüne bakarak, onu helâk etmemi istiyorsun. Halbuki Ben, onun sarayının dış kapısının üzerine yazmış olduğu besmeleye bakıyorum." Buradaki incelik şudur: Kâfir de olsa, kim bu kelimeyi dış kapısının üzerine yazarsa, helâk olmaktan emin olur. Kim bu kelimeyi, ömrünün başından nihayetine kadar, kalbine yazarsa, onun durumu nasıl olur, var sen düşün! Cenâb-ı Hâkk kendisini Rahmân ve Rahîm diye adlandırdı. O halde, nasıl merhamet etmesin? Anlatıldığına göre, bir dilenci zengin bir kimsenin kapısında durarak, bir şeyler istemişti. Bunun üzerine kendisine çok cüz'î bir şey verildi. İkinci gün, elinde bir baltayla geldi ve kapıyı kırmaya başladı. Ona, "Ne yapıyorsun?" denilince, şöyle cevap verdi: "Ya kapının bahşedilene uygun veyahut da yapılan bağışın kapıya uygun olması gerekir." Ey Râbbimiz! Merhamet denizleri, senin râhmetine nisbetle, zerrenin senin Arşına olan nisbetinden daha küçüktür. Kitabının başında râhmetinin sıfatını kullarına bildirdin. Binâenaleyh, bizi râhmetin ve lütfundan mahrum bırakma. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.1, s.236)

Ayeti Kerime'de şöyle buyrulur: "Öyle ise siz beni anın, ben de sizi anayım. Bana şükredin, nankörlük etmeyin." (Bakara s. 152) Cenâb-ı Allâh, bu ayette biz kullarını iki şeyle mükellef tutmuştur: Birisi zikir, diğeri şükür. Zikir, bazen dil ile, bazen kalb ile, bazen de azâlarla olur. İnsanların Allâh (c.c.)'u dilleriyle zikretmeleri (anmaları), hâmd, tesbih, medh ve Kur'an'ı okumakla olur. Allâh (c.c.)'ı kalb île zikir ise üç türlüdür: 1. O (c.c.)'un zatına ve sıfatlarına delâlet eden deliller üzerinde ve bu delilleri cerh eden şüphelere cevâp üzerinde tefekkür etmek. 2. Hâkk Teâlâ'nın insanlara verdiği mükellefiyetlerinin, ahkâm, emir ve yasaklarının, va'ad ve vaîdînin nasıl olduğunu gösteren deliller üzerinde düşünmek. İnsanlar mükellefiyetlerin nasıl olduğunu bilip, onların yerine getirilmesi halinde olan va'ad-i ilâhî ile yerine getirilmemesi halinde olan vaîd-i ilâhiyi (tehdidi) bildiklerinde, o mükellefiyetleri yerine getirmek onlar için kolaylaşır. 3. Allâh (c.c.)'un mahlûkatının sırları üzerinde düşünmek. Bu düşünce ile mahlûkatın her zerresi kutsî âlemin karşısında bulunan cilalı bir ayna gibi olur. Kul, o aynaya baktığı zaman, kulun bakışının ışıkları o aynadan celâl âlemine yansır. İşte bu makam, sonsuz mertebeleri olan bir makamdır. İnsanların, Allâh (c.c.)'u uzuvları ile zikretmelerine gelince; bu, onların uzuvlarının emrolundukları işlerle iyice meşgul olması ve nehyolundukları amellerden tamamen uzak kalmalarıdır. İşte bu manada olmak üzere Allâhü Teâlâ, "Allâh'ın zikrine koşun" (Cum'a s. 9) ifâdesi ile namazı "zikir" diye adlandırmıştır. Bundan dolayı Cenâb-ı Allâh'ın "Beni anın" ifâdesindeki, emr-i ilâhî bütün taat türlerini içine almaktadır. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.4, s.71)

"Bizi, dosdoğru olan yoluna ilet." (Fatiha s. 6) sözünden maksad, Allâh (c.c.) rızası için büyük meşakkatleri sırtlanan öncülerin yoludur. Anlatıldığına göre Hz. Nûh (a.s.) her gün bayılıncaya kadar dövülürdü. O buna rağmen, yine her vurulduğunda, "Allâh'ım kavmime hidayet et, çünkü onlar ne yaptıklarını bilmiyorlar" derdi. Bizim Peygamberimiz (s.a.v.) bu cümleyi sadece bir kere söylemiştir. Halbuki Hz. Nuh (a.s.) bir günde aynı cümleyi defalarca söylemiştir. Bu nedenle, Hz. Nûh (a.s.)'ın Peygamberimiz (s.a.v.)'den üstün olduğunu söylemek gerekir?" denilirse, buna bizim cevabımız şu olur: Cenâb-ı Hakk'ın "Bizi, dosdoğru olan yoluna ilet" sözünden maksadı, kendisinden bu üstün ahlâkın istenmesi olup, Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.)'de Fatiha'yı her gün şu kadar defa okuduğuna göre, Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.)'in bu kelimeyi söylemesi, Nûh (a.s.)'ın söylemesinden daha çok olur. Mümin Allâh (c.c.)'u tek bir delille tanıyınca, bütün varlıklarda O (c.c.)'un varlığına, ilmine, kudretine, cömertliğine, rahmetine ve hikmetine delâlet eden nice deliller olduğunu anlar. Buna göre kulun, "Bizi, dosdoğru olan yoluna ilet" sözünün manası: "Ey Râbbimiz! Her şeyde, Senin zâtına, sıfatlarına, kudretine ve ilmine delâlet eden nice deliller bulduk" olur. Bu takdire göre, söz konusu olan sual kendiliğinden bertaraf edilmiş olur. Cenâb-ı Hakk "Muhakkak ki sen, doğru bir yola hidayet ediyorsun, göklerde ve yerde bulunan her şeyin kendisine ait olduğu Allâh'ın yoluna" (Şûra s. 5253) "Bu, benim dosdoğru olan yolumdur, öyleyse ona uyunuz!" (En'âm s. 153) buyurmuştur. "Sırât-ı müstakim" insanın, Allâh (c.c.)'dan başka her şeyden yüz çevirmiş: bütün kalbi, fikri ve zikriyle Allâh (c.c.)'a yönelmiş olmasıdır. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.1, s.354-355)

Sabır iki kısımdır: 1. Bedenî olan sabır. Meselâ, bedene güç şeyleri yüklemek ve bunlara katlanmak gibi. Bu da, ya güç şeyleri yapmak gibi fiil ile olur veyahut da şiddetli dayağa ve büyük bir acıya katlanmak gibi, sıkıntılara göğüs germekle olur. 2. Ruhanî olan, manevî sabır Bu da nefsi şehvet ve tabiatın iktizası olan ve arzu duyulan şeylerden alıkoymaktır. Sonra bu manevî sabır, eğer mide ve fere şehvetine karşı bir sabır olursa "iffet" diye adlandırılır. Eğer arzu olunmayan şeylere katlanmak hususunda olursa, kendisine sabredilme ihtiyacı duyulan kötü şeylerin değişmesiyle, insanlarca buna verilecek isim de farklı farklı olur. Eğer bu sabır, bir musibete karşı olursa, "sabır" işte ancak buna denilir; feryat figan etme ve sabırsızlık gösterme, sızlanma ise "cez" ve "hel" denilen bir hal olup sabrın zıddıdır. Bu sabırsızlık da, hevânın kişiyi sesini yükseltmeye, yüzünü gözünü dövmeye, üstünü başını parçalamaya sevkettiği şeye denilir. Eğer bu ruhanî sabır zenginlik hususunda olursa, kendine hakim olma diye isimlendirilir. Şımarıklık durumu bunun zıddıdır. Eğer bu manevi sabır harb ve savaş hususunda olursa, buna "şecaat" denilir ki, bunun karşıtı korkaklıktır. Eğer sabır, öfke ve kızgınlığı bastırma, yenme hususunda olursa, buna "hilm" denilir ki, bunun karşıtı da hafif meşrebliktir. Eğer bu sabır çeşidi, bolluk içinde yaşamaya karşı yapılırsa, buna "zühd" denilir; bunun zıddı da hırstır. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c. 4, s. 86-87)

Ehl-i tasavvuf şöyle demiştir: "Birisi zahir, birisi de bâtın olmak üzere, senin iki düşmanın vardır. Sen bunların her ikisiyle de savaşmakla emrolundun. Cenâb-ı Hâkk zahir (görünen) düşman hakkında "Allâh (c.c.)'a inanmayanlarla savaşın" (Tevbe s. 29); batın (görünmeyen) düşman hakkında da, "Şeytan sizin bir düşmanınızdır. Onun için siz de onu bir düşman tutun" (Fâtır s. 6) buyurmuştur. Sanki Cenâb-ı Hâkk, bu ayetlerle şöyle demek istemiştir: Zahirî düşmanınızla savaştığında, senin yardımcın mutlak hükümran olan Allâh (c.c.) olur. Nitekim Cenâb-ı Allâh, "Râbbiniz size nişanlı beşbin melekle imdat edecektir." (Al-i imran s. 125) buyurur. Batınî düşmanınla savaştığında da senin yardımcın, yine mutlak hükümran olan Allâh (c.c.)'dur. Nitekim Cenâb-ı Hâkk, "Benim gerçek kullarım (var ya) Senin onlar üzerinde hiçbir hâkimiyetin yoktur." (İsrâ s. 65) buyurur. Keza, gizli düşmanla savaşmak açık düşmanla savaşmaktan daha önemlidir. Çünkü açık (zahirî) düşman eğer bir fırsatını bulursa, seninle dünya malı hususunda savaşır. Gizli (bâtınî) düşman ise, fırsatını bulursa din ve kesin hakikat bilgisi hususunda savaşır. Aynı şekilde, açık düşman bize galip gelse de yine ecrimizi alırız. Ama gizli düşman bize galip gelirse, o zaman fitneye düşeriz. Bunun gibi, açık düşmanın öldürdüğü kimse şehit olur, gizli düşmanın öldürdüğü kimse ise Allâh (c.c.)'un râhmetinden uzaklaştırılır. Bundan dolayı gizli düşmanın şerrinden kaçınmak daha evlâdır. Bu da ancak kişinin kalbi ve diliyle "Euzü billahi mine'şşeytani'r-racim" demesiyle olur. (Fahruddîn Er-Râzî, Tefsîr-i Kebîr Mefâtîhu'l-Ğayb, c.1, s.124)

18-time Grammy nominee and American musical legend Taj Mahal goes deep on his influences and his approach to the craft. PART ONEPaul and Scott kick off the new year with a discussion about the nominees for the upcoming Grammy Awards. And more! PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Taj MahalABOUT TAJ MAHALSinger, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Taj Mahal has mastered the blues form and has further built upon it by incorporating world music influences and expanding the boundaries of the genre. Growing up in Massachusetts, he made his way to Southern California in the mid-1960s where he formed the Group Rising Sons with Ry Cooder, Jessie Lee Kincaid, and Kevin Kelley. They signed with Columbia Records but, upon disbanding, Taj joined forces with guitarist Jesse Ed Davis and remained on the label as a solo artist. After a dozen albums with Columbia, he moved to Warner Bros. Records in the mid-1970s. Following a period spent living in Hawaii and largely out of the limelight in the 1980s, he ultimately reemerged for a new era of commercial success. Taj has been nominated for 18 Grammy Awards, winning five, including Best Contemporary Blues Album in 1997, 2000, 2008, and 2018, and best Traditional Blues Album in 2022 and 2025. He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Americana Music Association and the Recording Academy. His most recent album, a duet project with Keb' Mo' called Room on the Porch, is nominated for the Best Traditional Blues Album Grammy at the upcoming Awards on February 1st.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Maggie & John C. Reilly discuss “What's Not to Love?” Mister Romantic's debut album out now on Eternal Magic Recordings is a collection of beloved songs from the American Songbook reimagined by Reilly and his Grammy-winning band. “What's Not To Love?” was recorded in 2024 in Los Angeles at Nest Recorders and was co-produced by Reilly and Davíd Garza. In addition to Garza on piano and guitar, the band also includes Gabe Witcher on violin, Sebastian Steinberg on bass, and Charles De Castro on accordion and cornet.  CREATED BY JOHN C. REILLY“I looked at our weary world a few years ago and tried to think of a way I could spread love and empathy. I decided the most fun way to do that was through performing and singing and telling people I love them…so the emotional vaudeville show Mister Romantic was born, out of both hope and despair.”From studying theater as a kid growing up in Chicago, to amateur clowning as a teen and studying acting at The Theatre School at DePaul University, to his Oscar-nominated role starring in the film adaptation of Chicago and beloved performance starring in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, to his TONY-nominated performance in Sam Shepard's True West, and more, theater and music have been pillars of John's career. What's Not To Love? is a collection of gorgeous renditions of songs from the Great American Songbook backed by a band of multiple GRAMMY®-winners. On lead single “Dream” Reilly delivers a gentle, dreamy sea-side cover of the 1944 Johnny Mercer song, which has previously been recorded by Frank Sinatra and Roy Orbison.The album was recorded in 2024 in Los Angeles at Nest Recorders and was co-produced by Reilly and Davíd Garza (Fiona Apple, Sharon Van Etten). In addition to Garza on piano and guitar, the band also includes Gabe Witcher on violin (Punch Brothers, Rosanne Cash), Sebastian Steinberg on bass (Fiona Apple, Phoebe Bridgers), and Charles De Castro on accordion and cornet (Keb' Mo'). The 13 tracks include a pair of Irving Berlin songs, a trio of Tom Waits songs and many songs made famous by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford and more. Reilly and this special band reimagine and re-embrace these beloved tunes and bring them again to another generation.About the Live Show:Prepare to be captivated by the incomparable John C. Reilly in Mister Romantic, a vaudeville show that has already garnered critical acclaim and captured the public's imagination. The New York Times calls the show "wryly funny, sometimes tender and sad, but always sincere" and Vanity Fair describes it as “fiercely funny” and says "John C. Reilly is one hell of a singer." Mister Romantic asks you to open your heart to the love all around you and marks a new chapter in Reilly's acclaimed career. Source: https://www.misterromantic.com/Source: https://www.steppenwolf.org/tickets--events/seasons-/2025-26/mister-romantic/Source: https://www.misterromantic.com/musicHost Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

TrulySignificant.com presents Christopher Wyze. Chris is debuting two new Christmas songs. He is coming back to our studio for a second time on the heals of winning the 2025 Blues Blast Music Awards. Enjoy our conversation on what's important in life. We riff about Dr. Viktor Frankl, Sigmund Freud, and Bill Halamandaris. Christopher Wyze & the Tellers has won the 2025 Blues Blast Music Award for Best New Artist Debut Album for their thirteen-track release, Stuck in the Mud. The album, which landed on multiple blues charts around the world, received critical acclaim for its raw storytelling and powerful, fresh take on contemporary blues.Presented by Blues Blast Magazine, the Blues Blast Music Awards recognize excellence across the spectrum of blues styles and artists. A panel of blues industry professionals select nominees. Fan voting from around the world determines the winners. Joining Wyze & the Tellers in this year's winner's circle include Tab Benoit, Derek Trucks, Charlie Musselwhite, Shemekia Copeland, Bobby Rush, and Keb' Mo,' among others.“We haven't toured. We made a record of our original music — and let the music do the traveling,” shares frontman Christopher Wyze. “People told us we had to be out there gigging for the record to get noticed. We wrote, recorded, released, and built a fanbase around the world without ever hitting the road.”The band of veteran blues musicians was formed specifically to record ‘Stuck in the Mud,' with members all meeting for the first time in the studio. In the time between recording ‘Stuck in the Mud' and their follow-up live album, ‘LIVE in CLARKSDALE,' they played a single live gig — the live album performance – a fact that has made the group's rise all the more improbable.The band recorded ‘Stuck in the Mud' in two of America's most iconic musical locations: Clarksdale, Mississippi and Muscle Shoals, Alabama — both deeply rooted in the blues and roots traditions that inspire Wyze's sound. It burst onto the scene in late summer of 2024 and quickly gained traction worldwide, with listeners streaming in 90 countries. A string of radio and streaming charting successes propelled the album, along with nine of its singles. The album landed #1 hits with “Back to Clarksdale” (RMR) and the title track, “Stuck in the Mud” (iTunes Blues Charts: Germany, Mexico). It climbed onto multiple Blues Charts: in U.S., U.K., France, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia. ‘Stuck in the Mud' ended the year at #38 out of the Top 200 Blues Albums ranked by Roots Music Report (RMR) – one of just 3 albums by debut artists to break into the top 50.“When I first heard Christopher Wyze, I felt something raw, honest, deeply rooted in the blues – and unique,” said Johnny Phillips. “I've seen more than a few acts through the years. He's not trying to be anyone else. He's telling his stories — doing it with soul, grit, and a harmonica that cuts straight through. We're proud to have him on the Big Radio Records label. This award is a testament to what happens when you make good music.”Christopher Wyze & the Tellers are currently working on new material and planning select live performances in 2026.Listen to ‘Stuck In The Mud': cwyze.lnk.to/StuckInTheMudAlbumPRFor more information, visit christopherwyzeandthetellers.com.About the Blues Blast Music Awards:Founded in 2008, the Blues Blast Music Awards are presented annually by Blues Blast Magazine, the largest weekly internet blues publication in the world, with over 44,000 subscribers across all 50 U.S. states and more than 90 countries.

In this episode, we sit down with Keb Pound, creator of The Stupid History Minute, to explore how short-form comedy storytelling can supercharge sports entertainment. Keb's 60-second history lessons prove that brevity doesn't mean sacrificing impact — it can sharpen it. By “flipping” common narratives, zeroing in on quirky details, and applying stand-up timing, Keb creates memorable, shareable content that resonates with listeners. His disciplined content structure and consistent branding have built a loyal audience of thousands, showing how tight formatting and clear voice can make big waves in a crowded media space. Rob Wicall, industry veteran, mascot expert and author of Furlosphy joins Cudo to connect these storytelling techniques to real-world fan engagement. From the viral Yo-Yo Cam at Arizona State to Slugger's “Trash Trash Baby” skit in Portland, Rob and Cudo highlights how creativity and planning turn fans and mascots into the stars of the show. Whether through scoreboard features that reward fan participation or comedic skits that deliver messages without preaching, these moments transform spectators into active participants. Rounding out the conversation, we discuss MascotLink tools which streamline mascot appearances and unlock new revenue streams by taking care of the logistical heavy lifting. Together, these conversations show how precision storytelling, humor, and smart strategy can elevate both podcasts and in-venue sports entertainment, proving that 60 seconds, a camera, or a well-timed joke can be all it takes to create unforgettable fan experiences.

A Nashville singer/songwriter and music producer with a 30-year career that includes writing songs for Trisha Yearwood (including recent single The Wall Or The Way Over), Keb' Mo' and Taj Mahal (including recent single Junkyard Dog), Cher, Bonnie Raitt, and Art Garfunkel, while simultaneously earning a sizeable cult following and consistent critical acclaim for her own releases.  Maia's 10th solo album, Tomboy, will be released on September 12th, it is an ultra-authentic Americana-adjacent record steeped in quiet gratitude, internal celebration, and a complete embrace of true self. The first single Tomboy grew out of Sharp and co-writer Emily Kopp jokingly trading photos from their tomboy childhoods – an idea that carries over into the song's lovingly nostalgic video (a second video has been created from photos submitted by fans). Sharp has been significantly shaped by her long involvement with Songwriting with Soldiers, a non-profit that pairs veterans, first responders and law enforcement with pro songwriters to create music about whichever part of their experience they choose to share.

Greetings All You Young Jazz Lovers! Another episode of the best damn Jazz music podcast on the internet has dropped, and this episode has drawn its inspiration from the world of film. A cinema masterpiece entitled "Sinners" hit theaters back in April of this year and ever since I can't seem to quench my desire for the blues (I also avoid the sunlight...strange). It's as if I have been seduced and placed under a spell! I wonder, is there such a thing as a Blues Vampire? If so...one must have bit me when I attended the Keb' Mo - Taj Mahal concert in June. Well, in any case... here it is y'all a bit of that voodoo that the Blues do so well. Enjoy!  Brian "Katzpheno" Phoenix featuring: Abbey Lincoln - The Music Is The Magic (2007) Mike Stern - Coupe De Ville (2009) Warren Wolf - Frankie & Johnny (2013) Herlin Riley - Wang, Dang, Doodle (2019) Charlie Hunter - We Don't Nobody Nobody Sent ( 2016) Jimmy Greene - No Words (2020) Randy Crawford & Joe Sample - Everyday I Have The Blues (2012) Charlie Haden, Paul Motain & Geri Allen - Blues In Motain (1987) Billy Cobham - Red Baron (1973) Allen Toussaint - Singin' The Blues (2009) Mack Avenue Superband - Test Of Time (2015) Joe Williams & Marlena Shaw - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby (1989)
