Yep, another two weeks have passed

Time does seem to fly when your calendar is marked every other Thursday with a show as fun as Bakersfield & Beyond.  Short and sweet post today with just the essentials (youtube clips and the playlist).  However, we do wish Merle Haggard a speedy recover.  Merle was admitted to the hospital in Macon, GA with pneumonia earlier this week.  He’s recovering and is slated to be released in a couple of days.  We wish you well, Merle!

First Show of the New Year – Our Top 20 (19)

First show of the new year means that we each, independently, compile a top 10 list of our favorite songs that we played in the last year.  There was only one duplicate song on our list:  John Doe’s “Little Tiger.”  One duplicate gave us a total of 19 songs for our year end top list.  I don’t think either of us had any real method to our madness of choosing the tunes.  As I was starting to pick tunes, I did start to consciously choose songs that weren’t really “traditional” Bakersfield Sound songs, just songs that I really enjoyed and wanted to hear again tonight on the air.  We did get a phone call during the show requesting some Buck or Dwight or Merle and with time at the end of the show, we obliged the caller with some classic Bakersfield Sound tunes.  We had a great time picking out songs and playing them.  Hope you had as much fun listening.  Here’s to 2012 as Bakersfield and Beyond soon starts its 4th year on the air.

‘Twas A Bakersfield & Beyond Christmas

‘Twas a Bakersfield & Beyond Christmas,
And all through the Crystal Palace,
Nothing stirred, not even the bar keep.
For the martinis were shaken, not stirred.
As Amanda and Mike spun the songs,
The temperature plummeted,
Frost grew on the ground…

Well, you get the idea.  We had a fun Christmas show pretty much in the “Beyond’ realm of things.  But there were a couple of moments of pure Bakersfield Sound.  Merle Haggards “If We Make It Through December,” and Los Straitjackets excellent version of “Jingle Bells,” which had a heavy dose of Don Rich’s guitar lick from “Buckaroo.”  Gotta keep it real.  All in all, we had a great time mixing it up and playing some fun Christmas tunes.  So, here’s the playlist and some youtube clips – provided I can find clips of the songs we played.

Have a safe and merry holiday everyone and thanks for listening!

Thanksgiving Day show

We hope everyone listening had a great Thanksgiving Day.  And even those who might not have been able to listen, we hope you had a great day too.  Holidays at KWMR can be fun.  We know lots of people listen to the radio all day.  Many times, during holidays, a lot of the programmers visit friends and family.  Such was the case today with automated programming happening just about all day.  So, we were happy to get into the studio and give folks some live hosts on air.  A little post tryptophan honky tonk.  Here’s the playlist and some youtube clips.

You could say we went a little beyond tonight.

There’s a lot of great covers of “Detroit City.”  We played Flatt & Scruggs tonight.  There’s great ones by John Doe & The Sadies and Johnny Cash.  Here’s one by Bobby Bare.

I just never get tired of The Beat Farmers’ version of Powderfinger.  And I can (and have) watched this clip of them performing it over and over.  Buddy Blue and Country Dick Montana – you guys are missed, but not forgotten.

A little Bakersfield, a little Beyond

After a long time away, our good buddy Dr. BLT called in tonight from Bakersfield.  We were pleased to know all is well in Bakersfield.  We decided to cite creative license and play on the “beyond” side of Bakersfield.  In the first hour of the show, we came up with a couple of sets of music.  The first one was based on a higher being image from the song title or in the lyrics.  For the second set, who doesn’t want to be a cowboy?  We found a bunch of “cowboy” songs that fit the bill nicely.  Thanks to everyone for listening.

There’s several versions of “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” on YouTube.  This was the only one I watched all the way through because it was pretty damn cool.

Upcoming shows and tonight’s playlist

There’s a lot of great shows coming up in the next couple of weeks.  We spun some tunes to get folks in the mood to check the shows out.  Let’s see, Dave Alvin is playing McNear’s Mystic Theater on Saturday October 15.  The next day, Sunday October 17, 77 El Deora is playing a dinner show at Rancho Nicasio.  Later in the week, John Doe is playing the Great American Music Hall on October 20.  Here in Pt. Reyes Station on October 22, Red Meat is playing at the Old Western Saloon – a guaranteed good time.  Hope you can catch some of this great music coming up.

We played a song off the Chris Gaffney tribute CD, A Man Of Somebody’s Dreams, by the band Calexico.  I’d heard their version of Gaffney’s Frank’s Tavern several times and always thought I’d remember to play that.  Tonight was the night to remember.  The band has a good sound.  Check them out.

Recap playlist summary – Sept. 29 show

We got a surprise, spur of the moment visit from Maurice Tani from 77 El Deora tonight.  He stopped by the studio to chat and tell us about the 77 El Deora show coming up on October 16 at Rancho Nicasio.  It’s a dinner show and dinner at Rancho is always a treat (I particularly like their pork chops).  How good does that get!  Tasty dinner and a great show – all from the same seat!

After Maurice had to skedaddle, it was on to music.  So, here’s the playlist and some you tube clips.

This is a song off 77 El Deora’s new album “The Crown and The Crow’s Confession.”

What a great collection of musicians, The Highwaymen – Waylon, Johnny, Kris, Willie.

Knocking it out of the park

Tonight was our pledge drive show for KWMR’s fall pledge drive.  We went into the studio with a fairly significant goal to raise $1000 within two hours. By show’s end we had received pledges totaling almost $1200.  Super big thanks goes out to everyone who called in with a pledge or pledged on-line.  Big thanks also to Smelley Kelley from Red Meat who called in to help us pitch.  Smelley called in while packing for a three day/four gig whirlwind tour in SoCal.  If find yourself in Culver City on Friday, you can catch them at the Cinema Bar.  Another big thanks to our local pal Ingrid Noyes for calling in.  Ingrid was calling in from Hoboken, NJ where she is handling banjo tech duties for Warren Hellmen’s Wronglers with Jimmie Dale Gilmour east coast tour.

The playlist is short, but what is most important is the Bakersfield & Beyond’s fans stepped up and greatly helped KWMR with the pledge drive.  THANK YOU!

And before I forget, another show on KWMR is “Ridin’ The Rails:  The Americana Express.”  Folks who listen to “Bakersfield & Beyond” know that we do love us some X, The Knitters, and John Doe.  Well, John Doe was in the studio on “Ridin’ The Rails” yesterday and played a short acoustic set.  You can catch the show via KWMR’s archive of shows.  The archived show is available to listen for two weeks following the show.  Check it out at this link.

Here’s the James Intveld track we played and hey!, that looks like our pal Dave Gleason on guitar.
