Uh Oh! Marimbaphone Garrison Keillor is your background music!

Cheyenne:

Howdy friends & hamsters! Looking very forward to sharing these cuts with y'all. Some really remarkable stuff from the early days of the FMA, and the earlier days of music recording itself!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:03pm
listener james from westwood:

That first track has serious in-theme potential.

Webhamster Henry:

More acoustic recordings today will be played as MAC returns to the summer schedule.
Avatar 3:04pm
Cheyenne:

Some of these cuts are from MAC's old shows. I am excited that he and Mike are making a return to WFMU for the summer!

I believe Vernon Dalhart created that stage name by putting together the names of two towns in Texas. Greetings, Cheyenne and Partygoers!

Hi Cheyenne.
Love the fact you put these shows out as podcasts.
I've listened to the Ambient Ataraxia show two or three times. Beautiful stuff to fall asleep to.

Cheyenne:

Howdy Stanley! Glad you liked it! There'll be much more where that came from - enjoy!
Avatar 3:08pm
Cheyenne:

@Doug that's a good strategy! Being from Kentucky I could be Nonesuch Monkey's Eyebrow. Lotsa bonkers names for towns in my home state.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Stanley:

A quick question, Cheyenne - on the FMA website, would there be a possibilty of allowing users to create playlists?
Avatar 3:10pm
Cheyenne:

@Stanley - Yep, anyone who can login can make playlists on FMA.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
Webhamster Henry:

Imagine a world where about 20% of all recording was Billy Murray.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:11pm
Parq:

This Billy Murray is whetting my appetite for Mac's return -- tonight, isn't it?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:12pm
listener james from westwood:

That would be a grand world indeed, WH!
Avatar 3:12pm
Cheyenne:

Billy Murray shows up a lot in the FMA historic/old time genre! And yes, @Parq, I'm pretty sure tonight's the night!

And pleased to be here now, listening to this show.

Dean:

A few nights ago I viewed a 1 hr., 20 min., talk Ken Freedman gave at Harvard's Berkman Center c.2006 about the early development of FMA. Really fascinating. Ken's grasp of technological, legal, and cultural dynamics was impressive. (He hiccoughed only once, having failed to recognize that copyright does not require registration. But that's an understandable lapse.) I learned a ton.
Avatar 3:19pm
Cheyenne:

@Dean - yes, without his direction and vision FMA would not exist! So happy to be part of the effort and bringing an hour of FMA programming to the GTDR stream each week.

If there's a Monkey's Eyebrow, you've to think there's a Rat's Ass somewhere in the state.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:24pm
Webhamster Henry:

Liz Berg plays a lot of FMA material, but I'm often listening to Tony Coulter (Tape Hiss is not archived). I guess I'm too lazy to make my own FMA selections - so thanks for the show!
Avatar 3:26pm
Cheyenne:

Haha, no problem @Webhamster! And @Doug, there probably is, I just haven't driven past it in my travels. I have driven past Gnaw Bone, Indiana, probably also known for its rats.

Doug Schulkind:

Pennsylvania apparently has some pretty bizarre pace names, but I still refuse to believe I actually live here, so I am blissfully uninformed.
Avatar 3:30pm
Cheyenne:

Kentucky also has a strange habit of pronouncing things wildly incorrectly: Versailles like "Ver-SAYL-s", Athens like "AY-thuns" etc

northguineahills:

I was about to ask or trawl the innertubes about this song, and lo and behold, you provide a link for us. Thanks Cheyenne!
Avatar 3:32pm
Cheyenne:

Every Excavated Shellac song has an in-depth historical blurb, it's great. His blog has similarly detailed entries for each song. That song in particular is so intense I thought about leaving it out, but it's definitely an important historical document.
Avatar 3:36pm
Cheyenne:

excavatedshellac.com in case you're curious!
Avatar 3:37pm
Cheyenne:

Also cylinders.library.ucsb.edu is a great place to look for historic music - they shared a few choice bits with FMA and have a HUGE collection on their site.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Stanley:

Great, that's me signed up on the FMA website and all ready for me to curate my own 'show'.
This track, by the way, is terrific.
Avatar 3:40pm
Cheyenne:

@Stanley - excellent! Welcome to the big weird FMA fam! If you make any playlists you'd like us to feature, get in touch anytime - we run highlights on our blog sometimes for active users who let us know they're making playlists. :)

"Thakur’s vocal style is immediately dramatic. He improvises and modulates his voice on lyrics and syllables in an almost dizzying fashion (most apparent in Part 2 of today’s post), known as bol taan in Indian classical music." - Excavated Shellac

Loved the old sounds, Cheyenne. Perfect listening whilst sitting with my 97-year-old pops in the hospital. Cheered up the room immeasurably.
