There is a sense of magic in the air, a sense of wonder and beauty. A feeling of the greatness of art and the satisfaction of being in a world where such beauty and wonder exists. It is still the beginning of February and the midst of winter but my mind is filled with the joy that comes from being exposed to great and wondrous music. So far this year I have gotten a number of new albums from artists that I love and have the privilege of sharing with the listeners of "Rock N Soul Gospel". Albums like "Cappadocia" by Jeff Johnson & Phil Keaggy, "The Bucket List" by Phil Keaggy, Tony Levin & Jerry Marotta, "Catch The Boom" by TNT Duo, "Sanctum" by Frank Van Essen. Others include, "Custodians Of Beauty" by Christian Frederickson, " Restless" by Steve Lawson & Pete Fraser and "The Waking Hours" by Matthew Perryman Jones. Every time I sit down behind the console in studio 2 of 88.1fm & WCWP.org. I get not just to do a good rock n roll radio show but I get to create a sonic tapestry that I hope will touch the hearts , minds and souls of listeners across the world. With new albums coming up in the near future from The Red Dirt Boys, Phil Madeira, Over The Rhine and others, 2019 looks toward being a spectacular year for good music all around.
