Caper 180 of the Paleface Parabola. An unusual trip befitting this unusual one hour and 58 minutes of mental gymnastics and mental hopscotch.If Hunter Thompson somehow beat the hangman years ago, he would have had ample fodder for a new Fear and Loathing screed should he have seen the behind the scenes shenanigans. Showbiz lore says that if you can walk, you can make the gig. We made the gig. We are here weekly to indulge in mental gymnastics and musical hopscotch. And in an unsafe June night, we

Caper 179 was like two kids masquerading as senior citizens, or vice versa. Translation: we had fun. Because as a wise once drunken sage spoke on the matter of fun and the need for it in life... ‘If you’re not having fun, you’re doing the wrong thing'.Armed with that know-how, you can now proceed merrily to the 'Go' square of the Parabola; the beginning of a long walk on a golden road. Music makes for joy as well, and that’s why we came out to play this week. To seed the clouds of despair with

Shakespeare may have been in the alley with his pointed shoes and his bells we acknowledge. And I’m not a French girl so I don't know Bob Dylan well — in fact I’ve never met him. All that to say this... The Mystery Man does know how to shake music out of the music trees that bear good fruit and are planted around the strong roots that are Free FM — radio from half a world away. Such as The Ventures, Brave Combo, Bobby Timmons, The Isley Brothers, and especially Paivi Hirvenen. Four our of five

Sorry I’m a little late in providing the road map to the Mystery Man and my musical soul this week. I was in Qatar speaking to some wealthy gentleman about my radio career gone bacterial. I said to them that after all these years as a non-conformist, I’m ready to play ball on one condition. The gift of a jet. I have a Friday night maintenance man coming to my house to clean my woodchipper. Seems a guy fell in it about five years ago and the case has not been solved. They said, "that’s where we must

He’s the Mystery Man, an essential in our Parabolic trajectory.We now present caper 174 of musical hopscotch and mental gymnastics this week. And please remember that on May 4,1970 that four Americans were shot dead for protesting a war by Americans! Now, to the monkey business at hand live on Free Fm 89.0, and podcast so often and in so many places that you’ll be driven to complain to the

Full disclosure... This world has left me about to go plunging over the falls and into the swirling blue waters on my way to danger dead ahead. A clear exaggeration, but after all these years I’m entitled to my feelings you know.The Mystery Man saved the end of our tour de face because I was so discombobulated I couldn’t even cue the next song. His mission of mercy had a motive. He got to play a track from the 70s British Prog music madmen named Gentle Giant! One of his besties. As for your hapless
