| calypsus_1 (East of Eden) | Posted: Jan 28, 2013 - 15:03 Reviewers of RP - Radio Paradise Over time, after a few years, I found that in RP (radio paradise), there are, at least, two types distinct of commentators, and this is not a situation that only happens in this forum: Commentators root, which prepare the root comments, about music, artists, songs, about the radio, who risk, who expose themselves; And then there is another type of commentators: those who habitually appear and whose focus your comments is on the comments of the first commentators cited, who "throw mouths," putting defects in all, are the commentators called "on-board", which find it very funny, they think that half a dozen words or "phrases made", can reach and stand out. They can not. There is no "chicken fat for little money". All comments are valid and useful, and I have found some funny comments "on-board" made here, but I also think that they should try be more original, do your homework, then make comments here, and then we all get to win, up to show the world out there that RP not only proud the music that plays as the class of its commentators. |

| calypsus_1 (East of Eden) | Posted: Nov 15, 2012 - 15:22 .............The Police - Walking On The Moon The Wailin' Jennys - Storm Comin' Solomon Burke - None Of Us Are Free S.E. Rogie - Kpindigbee Jerry Douglas - Route Irish Dire Straits - Single Handed Sailor Counting Crows - Anna Begins................ Well, I think there will be no radio stations around the world, presenting a "set" (30 min.) equal or even similar. Why? There may be many whys .... or do not know, or do not want, or are not interested, or lack of independence, or is not profitable (market dependency). Or all reasons combined. RP is different. "None Of Us Are Free". Is true. Like says no one are completly independent. Because we are subject, permanently, changes and alterations, that is the nature of the world in which we live. But, it is proven, it is possible to combine all the factors, market, industry, diversity, entertainment, without losing the "cable", without losing "sight", without sacrificing the values, artistic quality, memories, authenticity, tradition, talent, innovation, harmony. Because it takes know-how & art. When it seems that everything is already done, everything is invented, this is a terrible mistake. Because you have to pass the "baton" to new generations. You need to reinvent. Music can not be just an entertainment factor. This is reductive and alienating. Music can not or should become, to submit to a mere product of industrial manufacturing, and its creators in some "automata" handlers of electronic artifacts. The music has to have soul. Music has always, to be associated with the culture of the peoples in all its aspects, social, cultural, historical, political, spiritual. Only then will reach its goal. Producing well-being and satisfaction to those who hear and feel. This requires "know-how" and Art. |

One of the reasons I read the song comments with fair regularity is because of the stuff one learns. I'd never heard of this film. Now I'll seek it out. Thanks, Fred. |

| oldsaxon (Wales via Vancouver, BC.) | Posted: Jul 26, 2012 - 13:58 Haven't seen the film, probably won't. I love this song. I am amazed at Mr. Douglas's skill and talent. The stuff he did on the TransAtlantic sessions well....wordless. |
| Boy_Wonder (Bath, back in the UK) | Posted: Jun 25, 2012 - 03:49 Saw the film recently... very good, as we would expect from Ken Loach, great performances from a pretty unknown scouse cast and a good angry story about private security firms in Iraq. Can't imagine it doing much on general box office release in the US !! |
| hayduke2 (Southampton, NY) | Posted: Jun 15, 2012 - 14:52 I must say, even with music that urks me, RP allows me to (after lowering the volumn) read the comments of you wonderful people, and often learn something about the artists, thank you all Peace |

'Irish' seems like a Route I would rather avoid. This song though, is sublime. Only in the past year or so have I realized who was playing that amazing guitar in so many places. So distinctive, so perfect. |

| oldsaxon (United Kingdom) | Posted: Jan 21, 2012 - 10:31 My guitar favourites of late have been acoustic, but since I've been watching this guy on BBC's Transatlantic Sessions, I'm putting him high up on my favourite musicians list. He just enjoys it soooo much. Just amazing to listen to and infectious to watch play. |
| C57BL6 (PB) | Posted: Jan 01, 2012 - 12:55 Great points! On some point in that album John Starling talks about John Duffy as "Larry the Legend" and how he, Auldridge and the bassist all picked up best solo musician awards that year at one of the playoffs... An awesome band in their day... oldman wrote: The only comparison that holds up is two players that play similar types of music the only peer to Jerry Douglas is Mike Auldridge and Jerry is 20 years younger Mike was very hot and swept the Bluegrass awards for best Dobro players several years in a row in the 70s and 80s I think a grammy for country music might be in there somewhere too a good sample is on The Seldom Scene "Live from the Cellar Door" during the mid 70s Mr. Auldridge is still amazing in his 70's Since the Bluegrass community is rather small, I would be willing to bet Mr. Douglas is a fan. |

| everythingsan8 | Posted: Oct 18, 2011 - 09:28 Jerry Douglas- 12 Grammy awards. Mark Knopfler- 4 Grammy awards. They both play the heck out of their respective instruments, and are both towering talents. Beyond resonator guitars and fingerstyle playing, there's not much in common tween the two. |

Douglas is such a proclaimed King of the instrument that I'm a little sheepish about saying this, but his technique outweighs his soul compared to the dirty, ragged slide I really like to hear. I would never argue with Allison Krauss, however. She thinks he hung the moon, so be it. Knopfler? Different worlds, different languages. Plus, how many recordings are there where a dobro or any resonator guitar was used primarily as a "rhythm" instrument? |
| AlienRelic (east of Eden) | Posted: Sep 09, 2011 - 14:42 A fair amount like some of the songs from Bela Fleck's "Drive", even down to the cover art.... |

I have wondered that so many times. It seems that we always have to have a Physicsgenius or Excelsior around just to annoy everyone. Apparently Stingray has assumed that dubious title. Sigh. |
