Way back in the mid-1970s, Billy Cobham released an album that altered the course of my life, The Album Crosswinds and the track Heather just took my musical mind in a different direction, I started to go to Jazz clubs to hear and see this music that set my mind on fire. Through Billy's music, I was introduced to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, John McLaughlin, Al DE Meola, Chick Corea, Return To Forever, Weather Report and so much more, the floodgates to my musical mind were opened. Fast forward many years, I jumped for joy when I had the opportunity to Promote Billy Cobham, the second time I promoted Billy we became on speaking terms After the afternoon sound check we entered into a discussion about the dynamics of changing a band's lineup by adding or subtracting one or two members – then I told Billy that one of my favourite all-time tunes was a track called Heather from the album Crosswinds. I thanked Billy for having a big influence on me in 1977. I then asked if I could interview him, Billy said ''no problem but it must be over a meal''.  So as we had a chat over a takeaway curry and a beer in my office I record my first-ever interview with one of my favourite musicians talking about one of my favourite pieces of music of all time with an outstanding and very special sax solo from Michael Brecker, and to this day, to say I was in Heaven is an understatement. In this mix, I would like to share with you 3 special pieces of music that significantly helped to change my musical direction.

Since I started in the world of puppetry, my artistic career and my life changed completely. And I felt as if I finally found the art form that is generous enough and that englobes all the other art forms, because puppetry is the meeting of the art of the scene, art of the stage, and the visual arts and music. So for me it is like the most complete and generous art form that ever existed. - Nina Vogel  Meet award-winning Brazilian multidisciplinary artist, puppeteer, singer, actress, and director Nina Vogel. Her approach to puppetry and art has a strong spiritual influence inherited from both her indigenous Guarani and Tikuna ancestry. Her work has been performed all over the world and she is the creator and performer of  Peter and the Wolf part of 2022 RUTAS Festival. Peter and the Wolf, the classic story and music by Sergei Prokofiev, bursts to life with glorious puppets crafted in ateliers in Brazil. Created by master craftsmen and artist Nina Vogel, from the very musical instruments featured in the symphony, the visually stunning costume from which the puppets appear and disappear delights children with an unforgettable performance as they experience the fable for the first time. Supported by Toronto's Euphonia Chamber Ensemble with Musical Direction by award-winning Conductor, Composer and Pianist Maziar Heidari, Nina Vogel presents this ingenious and beautiful spectacle with an accompanying short film, ANIMA, which takes the audience on the fantastical journey that Nina Vogel followed to create this contemporary interpretation of Peter & the Wolf. Our co-host for this episode is a queer Brazilian-Canadian playwright and writer, producer, performer, and director from Tkaronto, Yago Mesquita. He creates slice-of-life-made-surreal character-driven work from a young, queer, first-generation Canadian lens, heavily informed by his experience and that of friends, family, and fellow artists.  For more information about the RUTAS FESTIVAL.

Y sentí que finalmente había encontrado la forma de arte que es lo suficientemente generosa y que engloba a todas las demás formas de arte, porque este arte es el encuentro de las artes de la escena, las artes del escenario, las artes visuales y la música. Entonces, para mí, es como la forma de arte más completa y más generosa que jamás haya existido”. - Nina Vogel   En este episodio, conversamos con una galardonada artista multidisciplinaria, titiritera, cantante, actriz y directora brasileña, Nina Vogel.

Following on from episode 3, Ian Prowse and Mick Ord discuss male artists who have changed musical direction. Following on from the episode 3 of the Misadventures In Music with Ian Prowse and Mick Ord... Our presenters discuss male artists who changed their musical direction for the better or worse. Ian starts with a band close to his heart in The Waterboys. It's discussed how their huge success with This is the Sea with probably one their most notable songs on it - The Whole Of The Moon. Ian explains that the band were on the verge of U2 style stardom and all they had to do to follow the success of the last album - to find out what happened next, check out the latest episode. For links and track listings - go over to Urbanista Music Magazine

One of the most fascinating things we love about musicians, is when they decide to completely change their direction. Whether thats musical direction or they simply fall out of love with the business. We have all experienced moments when our favourite music icons leave their fans confused and scratching their heads, wondering what happened. Or in some cases when it's an ex band member, who completely rips the band apart with them to go do something else. In this podcast episode we look at a few female artists that interest both Ian and Mick and explore the music they started creating and then suddenly decided to change direction in music or actually quit altogether. This episode looks at their reasons for doing so, was it the right choice or should they have stayed? Our hosts discuss stars such as Alanis Morisette, Anne Briggs and Bobby Gentry and the fascinating stories on both their music and lives.

Jordana and her co-host-for-the-day Sean start with a conversation about the latest confrontation over Erika Jayne's unwillingness to take responsibility. They dive into the latest Kanye West controversy, with an explanation of why his latest album release is embroiled in controversy. Is Kanye even relevant anymore, or are we just interested in the spectacle? Then it's time for a spoiler-free debate about the success (and backlash to) the hit show Ted Lasso, and what liking that brand of comedy says about you. Plus, they discuss a list of sitcom storylines that serve as a good test of your personality. Finally, Jorge joins once again to lead them in a Kanye-inspired game of “Musical Direction” with some complete-the-lyrics and band name trivia.

Paul Litteral was born and raised in Western Kentucky and by the fifth grade he knew that he was going to play the trumpet. After enlisting in the U.S. Navy as a musician, Paul began to build his career in New York, playing in Broadway hits such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Chorus Line and Chess.  In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called The Uptown Horns. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981, which lead to many other opportunities, including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning “Living in America” and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. Now based in Los Angeles, Paul has found critical success in his writing with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: ‘Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. Paul is currently recording his debut solo album, "Legacy", available through Outrageous8 records.

Blinky Bill Is On The Loose ... This week, we use the Fringe show, Blinky Bill Is On The Loose, as a reason to revisit the wonderful Koala character created by Dorothy Wall. Michael Mills (who wrote the songs and oversaw Musical Direction), Chloe Bremner (who performed in the show and on the soundtrack), and Professor Chris Daniels (who captured the vision and decided this was a worthy project for Koala Life to support), all join Steve for a wonderful discussion under the gum trees and next to a cafe at Adelaide Botanic Garden. We also talk to Dorothy Wall's granddaughter, Janet Badgery, about her impressions of her iconic grandma. And we talk to Robyn Moore, the dynamic voiceover maestro who created Blinky Bill's voice for the 1990s animations and has since maintained her connection to the legacy. The SA Drink Of The Week is Eight At The Gate 2016 Shiraz Cabernet. And in the musical pilgrimage we have a song from the musical, itself.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Blinky Bill Is On A Podcast 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:03:16 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is a 2016 Eight At The Gate Shiraz Cabernet. 00:06:30 Blinky Bill Is On The Loose This is the feature interview of the podcast with Michael Mills (who wrote the songs and oversaw Musical Direction), Chloe Bremner (who performed in the show and on the soundtrack), and Professor Chris Daniels (who captured the vision and decided this was a worthy project for Koala Life to support). You can listen to a buy the songs from Blinky Bill Is On The Loose here. The theatre production was a major production by Kobugs, an offshot of Michael Eustice's Theatre Bugs. 00:43:31 Janet Badgery Most of us have grown up, having been read stories by our parents and grandparents. However, not many of us can say that our grandma was not only reading us a story she wrote herself, but a story that was read by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of kids across Australia over many generations. I talk, of course, about Dorothy Wall's granddaughter, Janet Badgery. Janet, was was your first realisation that there was more to Dorothy Wall than "just being your grandmother"? Did you ever talk about Blinky Bill with her and, if so, how did such conversations come up? Why do you think it became so popular? Did your proximity to Blinky Bill make you popular at school with students and teachers? If you had to identify with one of the characters, who would it be? What did Dorothy think of the 1990s' animation work and Robyn Moore's voicing of Blinky Bill? There is an old-fashioned sense about Blinky Bill. Did Dorothy ever yearn to modernise the look and feel or was there something about that 1930s artwork style that was bound into it's DNA? And what did you enjoy most about Blinky Bill Is On The Loose? 00:53:34 Robyn Moore aka Blinky Bill There aren't many people living in Australia who've never heard Robyn Moore's voice. It's been everywhere. But one of the most endearing and enduring roles she's ever voiced has been that of Blinky Bill. We'll hear how she came to be charged with the responsibility of bringing life to the voice of this iconic Aussie, along with his female friends. How did you become so enmeshed in Blinky's life? How did you go about building Blinky's voice? Were there any particular cultural clues? How long were you actively involved in Blinky Bill media content creation? Blinky is known for going off on adventures and turning up where least expected. Your role of voicing Blinky Bill seems to share the same DNA. Can you share some of your own adventures? For adults reading the books, are there any tips for voicing Blinky? 01:16:18 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a song from Blinky Bill Is On The Loose called the Bilby Bop, and performed by Michael Mills and Chloe Bremner.

In 1983, something was happening in the Western states – the birth of a training course focused entirely on the Musical Theatre. There was no music theatre education in the country, and after starting the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Dr Geoff Gibbs made the creation of the course his next goal.For nearly 20 years, Denis Follington was on the staff of this much sought Musical Theatre BA at WAAPA. The course has graduated students including Meow Meow, Eddie Perfect, Lisa McCune, Dean Bryant, Lucy Durack, Rodney Dobson, Carmel Dean and Simon Gleeson. In 1997, he took the helm and steered the course for another 3 years as Head of the department.The course garnered a national reputation for producing graduates who were prepared, focused, knowledgable and dependable. WAAPA graduates walked into the country’s commercial musicals – and proved themselves adept at television and plays too. Impressed with the success of the course at WAAPA, he was lured by Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore to build a Music Theatre course of their own, attracting students from around the world.STAGES spoke to Denis about the essentials of such an education, the history of the course at WAAPA and his first cast recording of a Broadway show.

THE GANGSTER CHRONICLES 1.5A special edition of Yesterday's News focusing on the notorious scoundrels of the Prohibition and Depression eras. - We're beginning this series with newspaper accounts of the trail of terror blazed by one of America's most famous, dare I say most beloved, gangsters, John Dillinger. - From the time he was paroled from the Michigan City prison in May, 1933, to the time he was gunned down by police on a Chicago sidewalk 14 months later, John Herbert Dillinger was one of America's most notorious scoundrels. - In previous chapters, we read the newspaper accounts of the escape of ten convicts from the Indiana penitentiary at Michigan City and the bloody delivery of Dillinger from the Lima, Ohio, jail; how Dillinger and his new gang blazed a trail of terror across the Midwest until he was captured in Tuscon, his second daring escape using a gun he made from broomstick, and his continuing reign of terror. In this chapter, we’ll hear about one more narrow escape from the clutches of the law and one final bank robbery. I’m pleased to announce that on Sunday, May 8, I will be recording the final chapter of the Dillinger saga from the main stage of the Biograph Theatre in Chicago, where Dillinger saw his last film just minutes before meeting his fate on the sidewalks of the Windy City. Please visit my website, www.truecrimehistorian.com, for updates on that event. - Musical Direction by Chuck Wiggins

Now Davin's returned... devilishly changed. His father embarks on a bizarre odyssey to get his son back to normal in HELL IS FOR REAL, an outrageous, star-studded new musical comedy.Comedy writer Gary Apple got the idea for his show after reading the book “Heaven Is For Real.” In that runaway bestseller, a little boy goes to Heaven and returns to talk about it. “I thought it would be considerably more interesting if the cute little kid went to Hell instead of Heaven,” says Apple. And as if that wasn'ttwisted enough, he decided to make it a musical. The script caught the eye of director Jay Stern, who has directed a string ofacclaimed NYC Fringe shows, including the award-winning musical “The Bardy Bunch.” For HELL IS FOR REAL, Stern and his team assembled a dream cast, populated with Broadway heavy-hitters.
