IdeaSpark: The Americana Music Academy Podcast

And now, it's time to discuss some future local ideas for the people of Lawrence Kansas to share. This is IdeaSpark.

Since Americana is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, I’d like to take my time to talk to you guys about the next idea.

How’s about an idea on a podcast for Americana Music Academy. 


Look closely at this title



It's called 'The American Roots Podcast Show'. It was feature topics on American Roots music, what's new at Americana Music Academy, music tips, etc. as people can listen to it. It's not just a podcast show, it's a way of hearing Americana as you listen.


If you have some thoughts about the new podcast idea, let me know.


Anyway, about that podcast. This thing will have everything listeners can check out. 


In can also feature segments like top ten lists, what's new in American Roots music, upcoming events, and much more.


The intro music will be 'Polloneese Med Förstämda Strängar' by Ingevalds Spelmän, taken from the Americana Sampler CD.


And as always, the music will be featured by Leo Kottke, Michael Paull, Sissy & Earl, Tommy Johnson, Majestics Rhythm Revue, Mojo National, and the song 'Nolan On the Moors' by Thom Alexander.


This podcast will be a great idea to get into the know of Americana and teaching America's music in the Lawrence Kansas area.

We also need someone to host the podcast. If you have any ideas on this one, let me know also.

When I hear a podcast, it makes me feel informed and learning new things too. And every time I hear a podcast on any show in audio, I can see it now.

Mu suggestions for background music in this podcast will be:

1. “Lost Cat Blues” by Michael Paull

2. “Peg Leg” by Leo Kottke

3. “Circle Nine” by Majestics Rhythm Revue

4. “Hypnotize” by Thom Alexander

5. “The Letter” by Prairie Acre

6. “Funky Mama” by Danny Gatton

7. “Arran Boat Song” by Allen MacFarlane

8. “Seasons of The Heart” by The Faris Family

9. “One Trip Jones” by Levee Town

10. “I Can’t Stand Myself” by Thom Alexander


What are you suggestions of background music for the new podcast? Let me know in the comments.


That's all for today. Stay tuned for more ideas to think about and talk about.

My C-Tran Story

Image
  There comes a time in my life when I finally graduated from high school and got to do C-Tran for the next two years. Before that, I got to meet Sally Martin when I got a part-time job at Westlake Hardward. It was exhausting and a little stressful, but at least I had a lot of fun with it though. And Sally was really happy to see me and it was really nice to meet her too. My favorite part of my job here at Westlake was when I got to water plants on spring and summer seasons, it was fun. Okay? Although sometimes I get stressed out with her, she and I can always take a joke and laugh it out with her. You know something, Sally is such a nice gal with her country music she likes listening to. One time I heard a Dixie Chicks song “Not Ready To Make Nice” once, it was on ringtone on her phone and it was really upbeat in a country pop way. Nice! The first time I met her was when I first worked at Westlake and it was during the summer season. Thank you Sally for helping me out on my job and te

My Two Special Tributes (Rachel & Jennifer Unruh)

  Welcome back to my monthly blog, and today I'd like to share with you folks in this story. I would like to share a special to two friends that I once knew when I was a kid. Let's start off first with my friend Jennifer Unruh. Ever since I met her for the first time at Cordley, she and I would do something fun and exciting together. We would watch funny movies, claymation flicks, listen to music, and even learn new stuff every day. I remember the time when she and I first listened to 'Priscilla: Queen of the Desert' as the soundtrack. The disco music and pop ballads were way groovy since the 70s. We also listened to Marlo Thomas's entertainment project of 'Free To Be... You and Me' on cassette tape.  It had songs and stories, spoken word poetry, and music of friendship and family. I really loved the part in 'Boy Meets Girl', it was really funny to hear Mel Brooks and Marlo Thomas together. The part I really like was quote, "Right? Wrong! Exactl

An Ode To My Favorite Teacher, Lois Orth-Lopes

Image
  Hello and welcome back to my monthly blog. Today we’re talk about the people that I once met and know ever since I first moved to Kansas to live in Lawrence. My teacher Lois Orth-Lopes. I’ve met her for the first time ever since I’ve first gone to Cordley Elementary School, and I bet she was really happy to meet me. And I’m really proud that she’s one of my favorite teachers in Kansas. It was the start of my first school year starting with kindergarten. We first got together learned a lot of things. See back in the day when she and I met, we played around, learned my ABCs and how to count, made some art projects, watch Disney movies, all that stuff. When Lois and I were at the computer lab using the computer to try new things, we looked at Thinkin Things. I remember playing with Thinkin Things long time ago, I really liked the flying spheres and the flying shapes that make funny sounds. The best part of it is that I record sounds with those shapes in less than three seconds. It was a
