The Stone Age Presents: A Tribute To Frank Zappa

This Sunday March 24, 2013 on KRFY’s Treasure Chest at 6:00 pm

The Stone Age* Presents: A Tribute to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

This show is dedicated to the loving memory of Barry Barush— a Zappa fan. The music one listens to is part of how we define a person. How we expand our friendships and how we learn from each other. No one style of music can dictate who we are or why we do what we do in this world. As each of us share our love of music with each other, we open ourselves to knowing more about our friends our families and our community. When you dig into a friends music collection, you sometimes find out something you may never have known before about them. Listen, smile, grow.

This one hour show explores the music and history of the early days, 1966-1970. Subcultural information is provided, however, audiences will notice that this program focuses upon music and enjoyment, and not on hysteria, overweening praise or name dropping. Included are selections from ‘Freak Out’, ‘Absolutely Free’, ‘We’re Only In It For The Money’, ‘Lumpy Gravy’, ‘Uncle Meat’, ‘Weasels Ripped My Flesh’ and ‘Burnt Weenie Sandwich.’ The albums that featured, for the most part, the original musicians (but, with the addition of some others, later) put together to form The Mothers in 1964 in a recording studio in Cucamonga, California! (Hotcha!)

*The Stone Age, a series of programs of the “Electric Sound” that defined the 60’s and 70’s. The Electric Music that became the symbol of worldwide cultural change, the harbinger of a new time, a new world.

The Divine Miss M — Bette Midler on Michael Feinstein’s Song Travels

Join KRFY as we celebrate Women’s History Month with one of the true great women of song and fun…

Bette Midler’s Song Travels is a one-hour series distributed by NPR and hosted by the renowned “Ambassador of the Great American Songbook,” Michael Feinstein.

As host and artistic director, Feinstein uncovers the intimate journey singers and songs take with one another, each changing the other through the course of a lifetime. For Feinstein, American music is really a travelogue, with art that exists only because it has traveled through artists’ lives, generations, and passions.

Singer, actress, and comedian Bette Midler is Feinstein’s guest for an hour of pure radio fun. Midler unpacks stories and favorite tunes from her record collection — from Louis Jordan to vintage Hawaiian music to Destiny’s Child. Feinstein presents her with “I’ll Be There,” a song written for Midler by the legendary songwriting team Marilyn and Alan Bergman..

Blue Dimensions: Uppity Blues Woman and the provocative “Money Jungle”

Sunday evening, March 3, join us for the next installment of Treasure Chest here on KRFY 88.5 FM Community Radio.

Blue Dimensions : Uppity Blues Woman Ann Rabson; Terri Lyne Carrington’s provocative “Money Jungle”

In this hour of Blue Dimensions, we’ll hear from Ann Rabson, singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist, former member of Saffire The Uppity Blues Women, who died on January 30th at age sixty-seven. Rabson and her partners in the three-woman group Saffire were a novelty act to be sure, though their work has much more staying power (or “gravitas” to use a pretty heavy word describing a group known for its humor) than the term “novelty act” usually suggests. Ann Rabson was both funny and dead serious, and a true social commentator, not to mention a great musician. We’ll hear her with Saffire and as a solo act. Also Terri Lyne Carrington celebrates the 50th anniversary of Duke Ellington’s “Money Jungle” album with an update “Money Jungle: Provocative In Blue,” and we have new music from former Tonight Show band leader and guitarist Kevin Eubanks, and French jazz chanteuse Virginie Teychené.

Blue Dimensions: A program of blues, jazz, and other kindred forms of music.Blue Dimensions is a weekly one-hour program of blues, jazz, and other related styles of music, focusing on present-day artists and songs, though with a certain nod to the past and the great history of the music. Host/Producer Jonny Meister will feature some topic (album, artist, event, etc.) on each show..

Treasure Chest Features Elvis — Viva Las Vegas!

Treasure Chest for January 13, 2013. Join KRFY as we celebrate the birthday of the King, Elvis Aaron Presley. ( January 8, 1935 )

Much of Elvis’ early success stemmed from his electrifying live performances on stages around the world. That all changed with the movie deals, and the filming and recording schedules that left no time for concerts. Eventually, he grew unhappy with the movies, and returned to the stage in a big way – the legendary 1968 Comeback TV Special. As only Elvis can do, he then followed that up with something even bigger — Las Vegas. His string of sold out shows at the International and Hilton Hotels revolutionized the concert business at Vegas casinos, leading to the spectacles that are common today. These events were both large and intimate, and allowed Elvis to explore a unique, emotional repertoire of songs from many genres. Unfortunately, this creative moment was offset by his demons that were certainly not helped by Vegas’ 24-hour casino culture. In addition to those also interviewed for The Early Years, Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers and Presley’s backup singer, Cissy Houston, also add insightful comments about Elvis’ Las Vegas years..
