6am – Folk Alley

This week on Folk Alley in honor of Father’s Day, join Elena See for a celebration of musical dads and their musical kids! You’ll hear from the Guthries, the Browns, the Thompsons and the Cashs, plus, the Wainwrights, and much more!

8am – The Ultimate Oldies Showw

Shakespeare offered: “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Well, this show will be brief–at least in the length of the songs. Less than two minutes each. Great records from Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Fats Domino, the Beach Boys, Barry and the Tamerlanes, Peter and Gordon, the Shangri-Las, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon, the Mamas and the Papas and more!

10am – Stuck in the Psychedelic Era

This week’s show includes a rather long Advanced Psych segment made up entirely of tracks from the 21st century. Other than that, it’s business as usual, with lots of good stuff from 1966-1970, including a couple of tracks from unusual sources. See http://thehermitrambles.blogspot.com/ for complete playlist.

12pm – The Wax Museum

Yes drummer Alan White passed away on May 26th, 2022. Alan played on hundreds of sessions with Yes and other recording artists beginning in 1965. In this Deep Undercover set, we play a number of those tracks featuring Alan White. Deep Undercover sets examine the entire body of work of the artists. From recordings under their own name through session work, songwriting and record production.

2pm – Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion

This week we have one fairly long set bookended by two shorter sets, each with its own characteristics. The first set is all live performances that have never been featured on Rockin’ in the Days of Confusion before this week. The second, longer set is on the quieter side…but definitely does not qualify as “soft rock”. The final set is a mixed bag of rock, jazz, and soul, with a couple of genuine hit singles thrown in. See http://thehermitrambles.blogspot.com/ for complete playlist.

3pm – Audio Aftermath

Hour 1 – In this episode we’ll hear The Kinks, Seatrain, Can, The Rolling Stones, Arlo Guthrie, The Pretty Things, and a song by a Dutch design collective who also designed psychedelic costumes for the Beatles.
Hour 2 – In this episode we’ll hear Jackson Browne, J J Cale, Robert Palmer, Jim Capaldi, Iain Matthews, and a truly bitter song by Bob Dylan.

5pm – Travel with Rick Steves

On the next Travel with Rick Steves, we’ll hear how the characters of Nordic mythology can help you better understand the world your ancestors might have inhabited.  And how they influence the epic tales that entertain us today.

We’ll also take a look at Dutch towns to explore beyond Amsterdam, where you can view technological marvels as well as medieval charm.

And find out how tourism in Nicaragua is trying to rebound from multiple setbacks, one rural homestay at a time.

6pm – The Mixtape with Pat Brickson

Inspired this week by his travel to Portland, OR, Pat shares a mix of songs either about Oregon or created by Oregon based artists.

7pm – Rock School

This week, we will speak with author Christy Alexander Hallberg about her new book Searching for Jimmy Page.

8pm – Juke in the Back

The “Juke In The Back” is proud to feature Jimmy Coe, a great 1950s saxophonist, bandleader and session man that is often ignored today. Coe came up in the 1940s playing in renown bands including the Jay McShann (at the same time as Charlie Parker) and the Tiny Bradshaw bands. After the war, he settled in Indianapolis, playing clubs until hooking up with vocalist Flo Garvin. He cut a record with her and one on his own for King Records in 1952. Even though King insisted as listing Coe as Jimmy Cole, he still caught the ear of The States Record Company. His 3 singles for States are a shining example of great musicianship, a solid groove and comedic talking blues. Coe and his group then played on records by The Students, Ronnie Haig and The Five Stars. This week, Matt The Cat moves the Jimmy Coe 78s from the back of the Juke and spotlights a true unsung hero of Rhythm & Blues.

9pm – 60 Watts

Coming straight from the United States’ grunge capital itself, 60 Watts is Public Radio’s weekly underground and alternative rock specialty program.

10pm – The Retro Cocktail Hour

The music is served “shaken, not stirred” every week on The Retro Cocktail Hour.  Here you’ll find vintage recordings from the dawn of the Hi-Fi Era – imaginative, light-hearted (and sometimes light headed) pop stylings designed to underscore everything from the backyard barbecue to the high-tech bachelor pad. 

Among the artists featured on The Retro Cocktail Hour are lounge legends like Frank Sinatra and Juan Esquivel; tiki gods Martin Denny and Les Baxter; swinging cocktail combos featuring The Three Suns and Jack “Mr. Bongo” Costanzo; and mambo king Perez Prado.  The series also spotlights up and coming lounge/exotica artists, including Waitiki, Ixtahuele, the Tikiyaki Orchestra, Big Kahuna and the Copa Cat Pack, the Voodoo Organist and many more.
