BACKGROUND
This week's show is a bit of a departure for me in that it features only instrumental music (hence the title). I also included a clip from the podictionary podcast about weather, since we've had a wacky week of weather here in southwest Ohio.

SHOW BREAKDOWN
"Clouds or Smoke" - Derek K. Miller
AUDIO CLIP - "weather" - Podictionary podcast (Thanks, Charles, for letting me play it!)
"Noise" - dreamfresh
"Galapagos" - Scott Helm
"Raining Colors" - Torchomatic
"Leaving" - 2-RD

Be sure to stick around for some silliness at the very end!

Thanks for listening!

BACKGROUND
It's been a frustrating week so far for me, dealing with work hassles and waiting to feel the full benefit of the lumbar injection I got last week, if it indeed does come. Feeling really uncomfortable right now.

Thanks so much, by the way to all of you who are keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I was cheered from hearing Jon, the Official Cheesehead, from the Tanfastic podcast, mention me in his last show. I have the best listeners!

So, for this week's podcast, I chose some music to lift my spirit up. Hopefully it'll do the same for you.

I mentioned earlier this week that we're going to Columbus this weekend (Tom's neck of the woods!) for a conference for families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. I hope to get some audio from the conference and be able to share it with you. Maybe not so much from the speakers or other people we'll meet as audio from us. This is really the first time we've all gotten away from home together in awhile, so it's like a mini-vacation for us.

I've been in touch with Rich Palmer of Audio Gumshoe, who recently won the signed Brother Love CD. I'm definitely looking forward to getting together so we can chat about podcasting and other stuff. And give him the CD in person. :D

Speaking of Brother Love, I so wish I could get to New York City on April 6th, because he'll be playing at Arlene's Grocery on 95 Stanton Street. Also, he's actively working on putting together a music video for "Summertime", which I played back on JIMM 36. If you have any short digital video clips of your summertime memories, he wants you to send it to him at brotherlove [at] brotherloverocks [dot] com before Noon on April 15, 2006.

JIMM 38 - The Lumbar Injection

Hi everyone!

This show is just me talking about the lumbar injection I received today. I will be putting out a regular show later this week, in which we'll pull the winner of the contest; I just didn't feel like including these comments in that show.

I initially planned to just include me speaking, but then, one thing led to another, and I had the tracks available anyway, so I included an opening call signal, shout-out, theme, intro, background music, and outro.

The background music for the show was selected from the Ambient genre off the Podsafe Music Network (PMN).

The following tracks were used as background music:

1. "Good Morning" - 2-RD
2. "Beginning" - Golden Pastime
3. "between the lines" - Drifting in Silence
4. "Dreaming Time" - Incidental Fusion

Stay tuned later on when I put out the regular show where we'll be drawing the winner of the Theme contest!

A special thank you to all the artists for letting me showcase their music. Please - if you like what you've heard, click the links to the artists and let them know you heard their music on this podcast.
