***My apologies for a couple of choppy audio with my voice overs. This will not happen again. :-( *** Happy New Year Good People, I tried to record this early January 2018 but to be honest I was having a hard time getting a flow for this playlist. One of my Brothers in Podcasting, Todd Kelley, taught me over a decade ago you have to make sure you have a strong opening and closer when it comes to music podcasting so I went through several tunes to be the opening because for me when it comes to David Bowie this gentleman has many great tunes and to intertwine the Talking Heads was harder than I participated. I was going to scrap the podcast but what always helps me is when my body is in motion so I will go for a walk and the idea will flow. So what better song to start off the show is "Under Pressure". If you haven't checked out "David Bowie: The Last Five Years" on HBO  I recommend it. Although he was sick he wanted to make sure he finished his music projects before he succumbed to cancer. I have to admit I don't have music from his last two albums but I will make it my mission to buy his "The Next Day" and "Blackstar" albums and have them in future shows. The music of the Talking Heads for me has always been quirky and yet ahead of its time. Their music and videos were creative and takes me down memory lane coming up in the 80s. Their music went down different roads and it was alright by me because my taste has always been eclectic. For me it was to groups in the 80s that quit at the height of popularity...The Police and Talking Heads. I have a couple of tracks from two of my former Windham Hill artists, Michael Manring and Torcuato Mariano. I hope you enjoy the tunes. Have a Blessed/Safe/Productive day everyone.

What's going on Good People. :-)It's been a hot minute since I brought a digital mixtape...my apologies. Life gets in the way and let's be honest we say to ourselves, "I'll do it tomorrow"...tomorrow turns into "next week" and before you know it weeks have turned into months. No need to dwell on the past, right? I'm here, you're here and it's all about the music. When the 80s had come to an end I was wondering what music would catch my ear. I had already began listening to artists like Russ Freeman, Shadowfax, Will Ackerman, Acoustic Alchemy, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones and other artists from the Jazz, Fusion music. My love for music genres had began to expland but I still had my ear to the ground in regards to R&B, Pop music and this gentleman hit my ears in 1991. It was unique to me...it wasn't Pop nor Soul...this sound was all to itself and I loved it. The tune "Crazy" blew me away but "Violet" was the track that had me hooked on Seal. To hear a track that was played on the radio (yes, that ancient relic) that was longer than 4 minutes ( 8 minutes and 30 seconds for that matter) was refreshing and the way the composition was put togetheer was a delight. To have vocals, music, talking vocals sprinkled into the track was different. The last time I had experience that was Pink Floyd, "The Wall". Seal's 1991 debut album was like a album where the music should have been in soundtrack...some tunes were intertwined , gapless, something you weren't hearing on the radio at the time. Tracks in the lineup are from the albums I have in my library that whenever I hear them it makes me sit back become in awe with his lyrics, the instruments, the engineering and mixing that went into the them. Shout out to Maria, KB, and the "Sensei" of Podcasting, EJ Flavors for letting me know the tracks that you enjoy. They are in this podcast. I also added a track from the late Chet Atkins, George Michael and Fleetwood Mac. George Michael jumps out at me because when watching his documentary, "Freedom" he performed "Killer" live when he performed in Brazil. Chet Atkins I wanted add because of his guitar finger-style playing that brings a smile to my face which in turn was an influence on Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac. (See how I tied that all together...clever, huh?) ;-)I enjoyed putting his list together and I hope you get a chance to slow down and kick back and listen this music. Be Blessed, Be Safe, Have a Wonderful day and do not let ANYONE stress you out.
