There’s a time for reading poetry
and a time to make coffee.

When the verse floats off the page like a ribbon
A wisp of smoke
Undulating
and I breathe it in
Yes, I think
This is how it is, I know this feeling.

I’ll get up from bed and look for you.
Sit next to you and want to tell you my dream
What I read and how I feel

There’s a time for reading poetry
and a time to make coffee.
In a moment from now,
I’ll run the water

Just a little heads up for Tim Buckley fans, there's a "new" live recording doing the rounds I've not heard before, recorded by Owsley “Bear” Stanley, the Dead's sound man. June 1968, San Francisco, sounding amazing, and with a couple of songs unknown elsewhere. I hesitate to post a link since it's one of those sites that makes you go through various distasteful hoops to get your download, but well worth seeking out if you're that way inclined

@Heidee: I'm just a software technician, so the research goes well above my head. I work mainly in voice/music transformation, but other areas include music representation, interaction, improvisation, musicology, acoustics, spatialization and perception. Anything sound or music related, and most often applied to make new music

Fred, in college I made my “living” as a banjo player (5 string , bluegrass).. composing was involved bc you can’t find such written music anywhere. I also cleaned houses , odd jobs , etc. what made me change my “banjo career path” was , one night , getting stuffed by a club owner after a long night of entertaining , with no recourse , While the passion remained , reality sunk in hard . Once bitten twice shy.

Oh what, no more shrunken planet? I’ve listened probably every week for the last ten years, from soundtracking my hungover Saturday mornings back then to soundtracking my dog walks now. Something I always look forward to when I wake up on a Saturday. I reckon the archives can keep me going a while!

Best of luck Jeffrey, thanks for all the wonderful music.

I like that you are focusing on the many great artists who played live on your show! Get settled in Montreal and continue your show on WFMU’s RocknSoul stream — the Saturday, 6am ET slot is waiting for you! Folks love this show too much to have it stop!

Jeffery: I will miss your program each Saturday. BUT, you are making a good move. I came to Nova Scotia four years ago and have enjoyed it immensely and would never move back. I dread going south of the border to see family. Of course Qubeck is « special «  but I love Montreal too. But I’m not a francophone and that puts a damper on things. Enjoy your new home.

Avrilinmay:

Dear Jeffrey, I have only caught your show for the last two years, and yet when I look back, because of this goodbye, it feels much longer, like when knowing kindred spirits and feeling like they belonged in one's universe since always. A few words here on the chat boards cannot do justice to the immense feeling of peace and sublime connections to beauty and gentleness I have felt throughout your show, and especially during the darkest times of last year's lockdown, where you truly provided me what others had to take medication to remain sane and human. I could go on but words (and a language that is not mine) fail me, so I will think of this music and the great archives of it to soothe this interruption which hopefully will only be temporary. And in any case I wish you the best life in montreal and wherever you go.
I did not even go into how much I expect the music discoveries you provided would help and influence my music, or the people who gather here thanks to you...
(I will not add my comment about how I feel towards the reason that you mentioned that's making you move away, it will be an ugly note after the first part of my message)

belatedly updating myself on this change and listening to an archive in the timespace that was Shrunken Planet for so long. this playlist looks like the greatest hits review and will surely get a lot of replays. :-) all the things that all the folx said (esp maybe an alternate stream program someday?), and always more and more gratitude for the beautiful sounds and sincere thoughts collected here, gratitude for the archives to continue dispensing the medicine, heartfelt blessings for a graceful transition to your new home, Jeffrey. be well!
