Rock and Roll Omnibus Radio---Playlist for Week of 6/22/15

     We are venturing out again into another direction with the Bus (as in the radio show). I've never been quite satisfied with the hits and a few rarities. The amount of good music that never gets heard beyond a few thousand people (if that) is staggering. When Tracey and I made our CD back in 1996, we got to rub elbows with a whole boatload of artists who were just like we were, making good music for just a handful to hear. It seems like a foolhardy endeavor, but if your a musician, you get it.

      Anyway, it seemed that with the success of the radio show and the blog that I could certainly do something about this. My dreams of doing the show for a large audience has gone to the same place as the idea of having lots of people listen to our stuff has gone. Now, we perform and write to suit ourselves, and if others like it, that's great, if not....it's not important.

     This is the same esthetic we're bringing to the Bus. You'll hear the occasional hit, but I want you all to hear the stuff that is not only interesting, but many times more passionate because the performer/s understand just what we did, if you can't satisfy yourself, then what's the point?

     This does NOT mean the quality of the music is any less. Sometimes the recording quality might not be up to industry standards, but again, that's not the point. On the show you will hear those who are very popular in a certain area, or maybe were never popular with anyone, but that doesn't lessen the quality.    

     So here is the playlist for this weeks show, if there is someone you hear that you like, check them out, maybe even buy one of their CD's....if nothing else, remember that the good music has not died, much of it is there just waiting for you to find.
