Photo by Sara Mautone As I began proofing my interview with the amazingly talented Sara Mautone, artistic director of Antena Magazine, photographer, and music selector, I have to say, her answers struck a chord with me. It’s something I could feel coursing through her contribution for Digging Deep.

“Old-fashioned she might be, dated like last year’s pop-song…”, so too, must I take it inspiration from the late, great Clifford T. Ward to reaffirm some of the power in easy listening. On my latest mix for LYL Radio, I try to present a drifting set of music, a song cycle of sorts, that looks…

We all have music that cuts closest to our bone. I won’t put thoughts in your head about yours but for me those deepest cuts revolve around music that reminds me of home. On my latest mix for LYL Radio I share, perhaps, what one would say is a vain exploration. Jazzy, pastoral, folksy, and…

I’ve got to say I really had fun with this one. Inspired by Ms. Sally’s wonderful recommendation to check out the music of brother/sister duo Sophie and Peter Johnston, I felt compelled to build on an idea for my latest mix for LYL Radio: “What about an hour dedicated to music that takes us back…

How long ago was the Age Of Discovery? Six centuries ago, in 1418, the story of Portugal began under the leadership of Infante Dom Henrique, who through the captains João Gonçalves Zarco, Tristão Vaz Teixeira and Gonçalo Velho Cabral came on shore (either by necessity or choice) to the then unknown islands of Madeira and…

Truth be told, I always had a “spiritual” theme in mind for this month’s mix for LYL Radio. Back when it was a germ of a thought, entitled “Milarepa” (inspired by the redemption story of Milarepa from Buddhist religious canon), I had a different blend touching on the personal way we redeem/renew ourselves during this…
