A heavy, heavy monster sound?

This show was previously recorded, as is our way these pandemic days. But I'll be around on the interactive, alive and in real time, to dispense philosophy upon you. If you are seeking answers, that is.

Hi Rob, A PURRRR-felt afternoon to be indoors, all curled up and listening to T.I.E.

Hey there, Clarice! To be sure, a rainy Sunday afternoon is just right for today's tunes. Stick around!

Nice antidote to a gloomy day, thank you!

Ooooh, LOAB, I do hope you're exercising appropriate caution while listening and biking. Gotta keep one ear out for mad motorists. More good biking tunes to come!

Blasting the show on the path

I approve, in spite of the danger. I myself was in a spectacular crash once while blasting music on the path...

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
...I stupidly veered suddenly to the left, having spotted something, and cut off a gent who was just in the process of passing me at a skippy clip...

Some of this music would be good for cycling. Wonder if it would work on a tandem!

1:36 PM, September 13th, 2020
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
...didn't hear his bell and we both went flying. Completely my fault, but he very Canadianly apologized to me, for passing too close and too fast. We and our bikes were both, amazingly, just fine.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Shelly Ann, indeed it would. Everything is better on a bicycle built for two!

Of course if I was on a tandem, I’d keep the music low enough as to be able to hear my ‘pilot’ the one on the front. Rob that crash sounds awful! My biggest fear si getting ‘doomed.’ When a tandem falls, it FALLS!

Loving the show so far! Grroooovyyy!

Hey Manmohan! Thanks! The grooves will keep coming. Shelly, I've never crashed a tandem. Never thought about it, but I guess you're right. I better stick to single bikes, with my track record.

I seek neither philosophy nor answers, just interesting new questions... ;^)

On the bike front, i did sooooo many stuuuupid things in my youth i remain amazed i survived. Mostly in the ravines and un-sanctioned paths therein of Toronto. Or on some of those wicked steep road hills. Helmets had not been invented yet either, apparently.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
how 'bout, "how did David Bowie manage to fit into a This Island Earth program?"

2:12 PM, September 13th, 2020
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
I'm not much of a helmet wearer m'self, pb. Not that I advocate helmetlessness. I just don't wanna mess up my hair.

Good day I live by the deep blue after hours and the deep blue, however I also need and love the music of this island earth. Indigenous music from extremely talented musician players stirs my sours and soothe my soul. Keep it up all and thanks.... well worth the$100 I give at funding drive..... peace and blessings
