Colin McEnroe Show: Music Advice From The Hip Kids
Eric Danton, Joan Holliday and Wally Lamb talk tunes.
**Today we get music advice from Colin McEnroe, Joan Holliday, Eric Danton and Wally Lamb. Check out their playlists below.**
We need a better name for these music shows we do with Wally Lamb, Eric Danton and Joan Holiday. At the moment, we call them Peekaboo Radio, and the deal is that we introduce you to music you may not know about. Or may have forgotten about.
We always have way too much stuff and not enough time to talk, so I'm asserting my control over this little segment to mention a performer who died. He name was Judee Sill. We'll play a bit of her song The Kiss today, but I actually recommend going to YouTube to find the less orchestrated version. I missed Sill the first time around even though I was listening a lot to the West Coast scene she was in. She died from drug abuse in 1979, a broken person whose music suggests a startling capacity to heal.
We did a show last week on the healing power of music. Listen to The Kiss and see if it doesn't put light and air in your heart.

Another great show with
Another great show with terrific selections! Would love to hear suggestions from Chion. I absolutely cannot get Radar Detector out of my head! Love it, and am forwarding to my kids. Thanks!
Thank you for another great
Thank you for another great edition of your music show. Two thoughts I had while listening were: I wonder what Bruce Barber would contribute? and, this show should be called 'The Ear'.
Well, something to think about anyway...

Great to see her mentioned.
She had 2 LP's on Asylum and one (self-titled) was a gem. She not only wrote all the songs, played on them and sang them .... she produced the LP and arranged most (all ?) of the songs including strings. Not too shabby.
She was (if I recall correctly) the product of middle class southern California, a "broken marriage" family and was somehow not as to-be-pitied as Janis Joplin.
You need to also discuss Fraser and Debolt, Jack Bruce's two solo LP's with lyrics by Pete Brown and Carla Bley's "Escalator Over The Hill".
