I can't seem to summon the wherewithal to do a show this month. In fact, I need to take a break for a few months. Zappas (the units of creative expression) don't flow constantly in me, as is true for many artists. I need to re-charge. There's much to do in the garden.
Join my mailing list (nelson@wombnet.com), or follow me on Mixcloud, so that I may let you know when the rivers run down the mountainside once more.
This month's title is a reference to a television programme, 'At Last The 1948 Show', that only British people of advanced years will remember. I never saw it, but I heard plenty about it, because it was the first appearance on main stream TV of many who later became stalwarts of British comedy...The Pythons, The Goodies etc. It was broadcast in 1967. (A clip below.) I broadcast my first EMFAB show in 2005.
All this month's tunes were released, or re-released, in 2022. That statement is not true, but it is nearly true. A nice distinction.

This month's Eclectic Music For Mind And Bodhi is an indulgent celebration of my sixtieth birthday, which falls at the end of February (George Harrison, Renoir, Rashida Jones).
I did something like this for my 50th, called, imaginatively, 'Fifty', in which I selected what I considered 50 of the best tunes I'd ever heard and merged them, edited down, into a 2 hour show for Dandelion Radio. You can download that old show here Fifty
This time, I haven't tried any fancy editing, but just selected a bunch of songs that I listen to frequently, quite often during drunken sentimental youtube expeditions. These are songs that haunt me. Some are quite well known. A few you won't have heard of. If you do know all of them...well, come over one evening...we'll share a few bottles and eviscerate my CD collection.
