Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

That's great Kerry! Rock on!

My two cents-----play the gamut of shakuhachi music from the start. Shakuhachi is vast.

And use Honkyoku for the occasional spice....at first, at least. For most people, it is an acquired taste, especially as
regular fare.

A lot of people like honkyoku but it all sounds the same to them at first. Other contexts let them know at least when one song ends and the other begins.

Thanks for all the responses everyone!
'Samurai Songs' will air 9 to 10am CST on www.radiofreenashville.org  98.9FM locally. This Sunday 6/29/08 is the first broadcast! There are three links to catch the stream and listen online. Just coordinate your timezone with the Central Standard Time zone etc....The people at Radio Free Nashville are so cool and supportive. One programmer wants to get a shakuhachi already -kerry

Thanks Kerry.








A really great show ... 

Thanks so much guys!
I was a little nervous and hit a few bumps, but the show is going forward. It should be listed soon in the program schedule. 9 to 10am CST Sundays.  The station director and program manager really dug it. They said, "this is what Pasquo, Tennessee needs"  I'm so glad you can listen online. It's all about the music and sounds man! And turning people on to shakuhachi who've never heard it before.... We are so fortunate to have such a wealth music and people playing and creating it. Peace, -kerry

I had to be on the road at that time.  Is there a podcast?

I don't know. I will talk to the program manager about that. Thanks

Thank you Dust!
It was a little wierd announcing the Hot Rod and Rock n' Roll fundraiser, but that's radio! It's all good and a good cause.
I'll be spinnin those 'Zen diddies' again, stay tuned!
Also, I set up a blog www.samuraisongs.blogspot.com ....I'll be adding more to it as it goes along. I forgot to mention it on the show yesterday, oh well, next time. Please, Feel free to post a thought or two.... -kerry

Hi Kerry, is there any chance that the radio station will offer podcasts (or embedded MP3's) of your show?

Hey guys,
I've got an email into the station manager about the podcast inquiries. I'll post it when I get the scoop:) -kerry

Good luck with it! Perry

Thanks Perry! Eventually, I'll get there with demonstration things. I was thinking during the first show with monitors sounding great, how cool it would sound to get 4 or 5 people in the studio blowin' some heavy RO to broadcast. Please feel free to throw 'two centz' in anytime! -kerry


I found out today that Radio Free Nashville doesn't have enough bandwidth for podcasting all their programs. I'm learning things very quickly and I would like to make this program as accessible as possible. Through the station all annual fees are paid to BMI and SESAC, etc, etc... I've found out that podcasting creates a new set of copyright issues. I'm looking in to it. My first concern of course is to do the broadcast and get some shakuhachi out there and create a little archive for future play. The RFN folks are diggin' it! I welcome your feedback and we'll see what happens.....
To all, peaceful revelations -kerry

Bump..

Hey Gang,
Just an update for the show, I'll be playing Osamu Kitajma's 'The Source' cd tomorrow, Sunday 9/21/2008 9 - 10am CST. A blast back to the New Age Eighties. Personally, I think Kitajima here, takes it a little beyond the genre. Many instruments and percussion, Masakazu Yoshizawa on shakuhachi, a good 'east meets west' feel about it. And for you fine folks in England, some cool teatime sounds! Quite!
