As I was telling both my Doctor and a friend who was asking on Monday, I’m starting to feel human again. A bit punch drunk yes, and you would be right to say "I don’t notice the difference"... But the Mystery Man did. And he joined me in musical mischief making on caper 157.The likes of Ken Nordine, The Rev Willingham, Desmond Dekker, Christian Parker, Brinsley Schwartz, and in a return engagement, Patty Gurdy from the magic hands of the Mystery Man. And know this. We’ll be back in 168 hours so

It’s said that pride comes before a fall. It’s also sung that the big boss man ain’t so big, he’s just tall that’s all. And that without love, we humanoids are merely a clanging bell. Let the bells ring out love then. With loud guitars and men and women small and tall (are you reading this Peter Garrett) singing for their supper. So the mystery man and me have answered the call. Thus and so, caper 152 is now yours to sample and hold and gnash teeth all at the same time. Here is a road map to the

Please remember, and don’t ever forget that many of us in America embrace Woody Guthrie’s sentiments expressed in This Land Is Your Land and covered notably by Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper in 1989. We ran out of time to play it on caper 151 and trust me, it’s the national anthem for outsiders like us. As a mea culpa and holding action alike, we submit Ry Cooder submitting John Lee Hooker for President... ignoring that pesky fact that the Hook has been dead for a generation.

Asyou hear this, the grave concerns about the guy with the yellow/orange crayon hair and his loony tune followers are justifiable.

What a fracas this was! It is 1:58:00 in duration and some might find it an endurance test, but the Mystery Man and I danced a jig of joy at the finish line because it seemed the programme lasted split seconds. The reason, you might ask? Music and more. Musically: Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, U Roy, Mavis Staples, The Mystery Man’s Magic and a heck of a lot more. Coming up on three years of rearranging ears on Free FM in all its admirability and formidibilty. Back for more mischief in seven

It was a fast moving foray, this caper 147 was. I remember that we started with noted 20th Century American composer Aaron Copland and closed the curtain with our Irish Goodbye aka the Mystery Man’s Magic Act of the week, starring Andy Akiho who you likely don’t know but you will now. The center of our universe is shaken and stirred by the likes of Joe Jackson, among other music heroes past and present. And there’s our basic gumbo of statement of purpose, music news and headlines that suit my sense

We’re putting faith in the ears of you, the listener, that you will too after you hear it. Context, news, the radio spotlight and music.

Caper 143. It’s a doozy. Or maybe woozy – you make the call. It wasn’t a salvo without peril given an aging car had other ideas and a hill to climb to the studio that was a formidable escapade. Stir in a computer to record on that yields suprises at times and you have caper 143 in your ears and in your eyes. The Mystery Man’s magic trick of the week is a big hit from the band Hoven Droven from Sweden. and I was eager to fling the following at you my brothers and sisters. Get to steppin with the

We address the 23rd anniversary of America’s 9/11 disaster verbally on this week’s Parabola, aka caper 142, because it’s a moment in time that should be spoken about. Feel no fret, it’s only less than two minutes duration. The rest of the programme is frolic, stories, songs, escape from the beat-down this century has been for a variety of reasons. This week’s scheme has joyous bounce and luster as we pave the way for Retrospect 640 otherwise known as part two of Psychedelic Pseptember. To play for

The Paleface Parabola Caper 140. It has something for the righteous and the reckless. The Mystery Man and I bring revelation to a wounded world. Music News, News News, and music that you didn’t get taught in schools (we would have been better if we had, even Kamala name checks Aretha, Miles, and Coltrane and how they enhanced her upbringing). Well, we gave those people the week off, and let’s face it, they get a lot of love on the radio anyway. Our scroll of sounds this week begins with Leo Kottke,

There’s a good reason (at least in my mind) why we had to ask for a weekend furlough in Allamuchy last week, but I’m not going to carry on about it because as the famous Baseball pitcher Satchel Paige once said ’Dont look back, they might be gaining on you’. Thus and so, know that we have returned to the Free FM Wednesday evening watchtower so we can say two weeks worth of points of view and call on the gold medal music Olympians like Randy Newman, Demon Fuzz, Osibisa, Big John & his Buzzards, The

Caper 137... A moody excursion in music of many coloured coats.The Mystery Man, while retaining his roles as sentry of Studio A and our resident same-day surgeon of the Paleface Parabola, needed a week off musically to plan for future fly-bys of his muse, and we gave it to him. As for me, I carried the Free FM torch like a well compensated volunteer should. U Roy, The Pogues, Julia Lee & her Boyfriends, The Blue Chieftains, Paul Simon, and The Blind Boys will have to hold you till next week.
