cowboy zen (pt1)

deepest (part 3)

friends,

this week's podcast brings us to the final episode in the "deep deeper deepest" trilogy. a.k.a. episode 432. the last four songs of the project are a bit like a slow-motion drift toward a quiet place. where perceived opposites intertwine. and complexities cease. there are obvious melancholic shades to the feelings involved, surely. but an aspect of rebirth is there also. which is to say hope. imperfectly.

you're sincerely invited to listen.

- you can stream/download the songs at: simplemuzik.com

my heartfelt thanks to you for being here.

love,

russell

deeper (part 2)

friends,

epidosde 431 is here, and features more of me sharing songs from my recent (2014) homemade project, "deep deeper deepest." tonight's podcast picks up where we left off last week, and hovers around themes of separation, loss, grief, survival, choice, et. al.

having just posted, it's hard to know how, or if, these things interrelate and connect with the experience of others. i hope they do. and i hope you'll listen, and find some value in-between the lines. i don't know if this will be the case. just hope.

above all, i'm sincerely and deeply thankful you're here.

please stay tuned - part three will be here soon!

love,

russell

friends,

episode 427 is here, and brings us part one of our annual kris-mas-with-kris holiday celebration! kris hauch has been kind enough to drop by, share songs, and tell stories from his musical chronology. it's a fun discussion, with lots of great music. unfortunately, tonight's segment only takes us through the first hour, but stay tuned - next week's conclusion (ep 428) will be here soon!

many sincere thanks go out to kris for his generosity, and to you for being here.
