| Notes: | Loki is flying solo for
this show while Uncle Jeff vacations. The release of the newest Harry Potter
book prompted the show’s lead song New Broom Boogie. Each trak had
my foot tapping and I enjoyed the up beat tempo of Loki’s hard times
set. It was easy for Loki to throw in a few Woodie Guthrie tunes without
Jeff around to raise a fuss. Smithsonian Folkways’ Hard
Travelin’ Collection was recommended to listeners interested in
old Americana, particularly of the folk vein. A few traks explored banjo styles, followed by four tunes in the jug band genre. I especially enjoyed Banjoreno by the Dixieland Jug Blowers. The combo of banjo and a deep bass beat reminded me of the circus. Until working with Route 78 West I had not paid much attention to old music, but my horizons are expanding. It’s easy to understand the old time music influences which conceived the modern music of today. Jug bands such as the Dixieland Jug Blowers were a hybrid of 1920s jazz band sound and country string band sound. Traditional jazz instruments were combined with kazoos, jug, Jew’s harp, whistles and even saws to produce a magical feel good sound, which still does the trick today. A Morricone fix didn’t arrived till about 6:30 p.m. and the final 30 minutes of the show allowed for a more modern musical trip. Everything’s OK reflected a different side of Hank Williams and reminded me of Life Gets Teejus by Tex Williams. Bob Dylan’s Shelter From The Storm went out to our own Uncle Jeff… tanning somewhere on an east coast beach and keeping in touch via the internet. |
