Music from Ecuador to Portland and Points Between on KBOO Community Radio

My wife and I had an incredible 4 week vacation in Ecuador in December. We got to visit the Andes Mountains. famous Market in Otavalo, the Equator, and two visits to the Ecuadorian Amazon Rain Forest, one for 4 days. Alas, we didn’t get to catch any live music. So I did a lot of research on indigenous music of northern Ecuador when I returned to Portland, and discovered a vast wealth of traditional and contemporary music, a fraction of which I’m sharing with you in in the second half hour of this program.

The last half hour of the show features music from much closer to (my) home- right here in Portland.

The program airs live from 5:30 - 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Wednesday, February 7, 2024 at 90.7 FM in Portland and streams live everywhere at https://kboo.fm/listen-now.

Portland had a vibrant music scene in the 1970s and 1980s, especially the blues, personified by blues greats Paul deLay, Lloyd Jones, Curtis Salgado, and Norman Sylvester. Musical trends have come and gone, and sadly we lost Paul deLay in 2007, but the Blues are still alive and kickin’ here in Portland. New voices like LaRhonda Steele, Ty Curtis, and Ben Rice, along with guitar virtuoso Mary Flower, who moved to Portland in 2004, join Lloyd, Curtis, and Norman keeping the Blues tradition alive here.

The Waterfront Blues Festival has provided an essential showcase for Portland blues musicians since its inception as the Rose City Blues Festival in 1987, and KBOO has supported the community by live broadcasting every festival.

This program is a tribute to the greatest blues musicians from Portland’s classic blues era to the present, featuring some vintage Waterfront Blues Festival performances, backyard jams, rare collaborations, live concerts from the Alberta Rose Theater before a packed house and empty seats, a rare 1974 TV performance by Brown Sugar Blues Band featuring Paul deLay, Lloyd Jones, and Jim Mesi, some Paul deLay Band classics, and more.

The program airs live from 5:30 - 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time, Wednesday, July 5, 2023 at 90.7 FM in Portland and streaming live everywhere at https://kboo.fm/listen-now.

On May 1 we lost Gordon Lightfoot, one of the greatest songwriters of our time. His biographer Nicholas Jennings said, "His name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness."

Today’s program is a musical tribute, featuring interpretations of his greatest songs by some terrific artists, and a few rarities.

You’ll have to wait for the Annual Gales of November show to hear his shipwreck songs.

The program closes with a set by the man himself.

Featured artists include Johnny Cash, Tony Rice, Alison Krauss, Eva Cassidy, Nana Mouskouri, Harry Belafonte, Nanci Griffith, Billy Strings, Sandy Denny’s folk-rock group Fotheringay, Canadian singer-songwriters James Keelaghan and Harry Manx, local troubadour Tom May, and more.

We lost a great figure in American music, culture, and politics when Harry Belafonte died April 25 at age 96. He was a supporter of the Civil rights movement in the 1960s who helped organize and fund the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom where Martin Luther King, Jr gave his famous I Have a Dream speech. He had Martin and Bobby Kennedy as guest when he was guest host for Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show in 1968. He was a pioneering black figure in popular music in the 1950s and fought for justice his entire life. The show begins with a musical tribute to Harry Belafonte that includes Bob Dylan’s first recorded work.

Next up are 3 sets of songs from the Transatlantic Sessions, gatherings of Celtic and American folk country bluegrass and roots musicians and singers recorded in manors throughout Scotland from 1995 to 2013. The music is amazing!

The show closes with some music to get you in the mood for Cinco de Mayo.

Featured artists include Harry Belafonte, Iris Dement, Karan Casey & James Taylor, Kathy Mattea & Dougie MacLean, Sarah Jorosz & Alison Krauss, Mary Chapin Carpenter & Aoife O’Donovan, Mary Black & Emmylou Harris, Nanci Griffith, Kerri Powers, Guy Clark, Ry Cooder, and Floc Jimenez.

The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970, a teach-in put together by U.S. Senator Ga***rd Nelson from my home state of Wisconsin and Denis Hayes, a young Wisconsin- born environmental advocate who grew up in Camas, WA and now lives in Vancouver, WA. This celebration of our home planet proved wildly successful, spreading to 140 nations by 1990. Environmental concerns in 1970 included air pollution from coal-fired power plants and gasoline powered vehicles, pollution of rivers, lakes, and oceans, harm to our fellow earthlings the plant, trees, birds, and other animals, the dangers of nuclear power, and the threat of nuclear war. Starting in the 1980s and 1990s, environmental concerns increasingly focused on the negative impacts on Earth’s climate due to human activities, mainly burning fossil fuels and deforestation.

Folk musicians responded to growing environmental concerns after the initial earth Day with a growing canon of great songs, which today’s program showcases. Please join me, Jack Bohl, for some of the best environmental folk songs in celebration of Earth month this April.

Featured artists include 1970s greats Jackson Browne- featuring great fiddle by the late David Lindley, Crosby & Nash, Joni Mitchell, ,John Prine, and Cat Stevens, 1960s folk-satirist Tom Lehrer- still relevant and humorous today, plus Johnny Cash, Loudon Wainwright III, his daughter Sloan Wainwright, Walkin’ Jim Stoltz, Irish singer Karan Casey, Scotsman Dougie MacLean, Portlander Casey Neill, Seattle’s Heidi Muller, and a great performance of Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer’s “Gentle Arms of Eden” from the 2001 Sisters Folk Festival.

Outlaws are not uniquely American, but the myth of the outlaw is deeply embedded in the folklore of American history from the Western Frontier Days of the late19th Century into the Dust Bowl and Great Depression and right up DB Cooper in 1971. Folk music has always served as a sort of social media, chronicling class struggles and political unrest, and there is a rich vein of folk songs about outlaws.

Join me on KBOO to hear listen to songs about famous outlaws like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Pretty Boy Floyd, Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, and DB Cooper.

It was really tough being an outlaw woman, as we’ll hear near the end of the show with songs about Outlaw women of the American West Belle Starr, the Rose of Cimarron Rose Dunn, and Cattle Annie & Little Britches.

Featured Folk music social media influencers/artists include Richard Thompson, Roger Miller, Joe Ely & Joel Guzman, Dave Alvin & Jimmie Dale Gilmore, The Pogues, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger & Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Glenn Campbell & Merle Haggard, James Taylor, Ashleigh Flynn, and Loreena McKennitt.

The program airs live on Wednesday, December 7, 2022 from 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time on KBOO FM at 90.7 FM in Portland, and will be streaming live everywhere at https://kboo.fm/listen-now.

On November 24, 1971, a man who is now infamously known as DB Cooper jumped out of a commercial airliner he hijacked into myth and legend over SW Washington with a parachute and $200,000 in cash. He was never seen again, his true identity is still not known, and the hijacking remains one of the great unsolved crimes in FBI history. This is great material for folk songs, and you’ll hear some gems in this program.

You may have heard songs by Paul Siebel performed by Bonnie Raitt, Leo Kottke, Linda Ronstadt, and others, but you not have heard of him. He died well-known among singer-songwriters but never achieved the wider recognition he deserved before he died in April. I pay tribute to his genius in this program with covers of his most well-known songs and a couple of gems from his two studio albums.

We also lost Mary McCaslin in October, so we’ll hear some of her most memorable songs and covers.

Also featured are new songs by James Keelagahan, Bonnie Raitt, Deidre McCalla, Happy Traum, Loudon Wainwright III and Tom Chapin.

The program airs live on Wednesday, November 2, 2022 from 5:30 to 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time on KBOO FM at 90.7 FM in Portland, and will be streaming live everywhere at https://kboo.fm/listen-now.

The glamour of luxury trains of the past, trains that took loved ones away or brought them home, and the siren call of the lonesome train whistle have been the subject of hundreds of classic American folk, country and blues songs since the heyday of railroads from the 1930s through the 1960s.
