Dear Listeners,
As always, it's a thrill to be here, bringing you all manner of good music. Wait. Strike that. This music isn't just good; it's GREAT! So there.
I had a couple of themes running this morning--a Tex-Mex set kicked off the morning (I just love it when Canadians who have a niche in Indian Ragas do south-of-the-border tunes!) and then we heard another long set of pretty gospel-ly tunes, including a request from an anonymous listener for some Patty Griffin. There's gonna be a heckuva beautiful full moon out there tonight so I HAD to put on that snappy song of Garnet Rogers: Under the Summer Moonlight.
Thanks for listening....and if you slept in and missed the show, thanks for dreaming of listening...
Warmly,
Diane

Dear Listeners,
I sure hope you enjoyed the music this morning! It was fun for me to put together a couple of themed sets: one on streets (yeah, I know, strange but true) and one on flying (for my friend Yannick, the pilot, listening in today from France).
Another special set this morning was the one in honor of a sweet, humble, and eminently talented fiddler: Mr. Bus Boyk. Bus left us in April at the age of 92 and is fiddlin' in heaven now. Many thanks, dear one, for the joy you brought to so many. And a mighty big thank you to the Keysers and the Pudding River Band for the lovely celebration of Bus' life yesterday on the farm...
Warmly,
Diane

Dear Listeners,
Did you catch the lyrics to David Wilcox's song and story: Start With the Ending? Cute, eh?? Good advice, too...
I enjoyed bringing you some fun music this morning--including a "radio" set, a "coffee" set, a couple of "rain" songs, and a tribute to roses, honoring our beautiful, albeit soggy, city of Portland!
Yours,
Diane

re: new music
Hey there - I love this show, can't really get by without it!
I want to just share some music I really think could be included here, if you haven't heard:
Eddi Reader - formerly with Fairground Attraction, legendary Scottish singer whose Songs of Robert Burns changed the way people heard these songs and established her as living treasure in Scotland. Her new album Love is the Way is gaining raves in the UK. Myspace.com/eddireader - you can hear some samples.
Kate Rusby - probably Britain's most important young folk singer - Awkward Annie is her most recent album and astonishing since she writes most of the material herself. Chris Thile and Eddi Reader are both featured artists on the album. www.katerusby.com.
It would be wonderful to see them here in the US, but just getting them on the radio would be a start!
Thanks and keep up the awesome music!
Doug Smith
Hi Diane,
I'm listening to your show and was pleasantly surprised to hear our pal, Doug, doing "Anything Goes". I'll have to tell him he got some airtime when I see him next. Your voice sounds great on the air and your playlist rocks! Keep up the very good work, my friend! Tell the management they need to give you a raise.
;-)
Diane Hunt
This is Randy from Colorado, and I *loved* the show! Quirky mix of music is just right to start my day out right. Diane, when are you going to teach me how to contra dance?
Thank You
Dear Randy,
Yikes! Only today did I see your kind email from September 22 that you left on the KBOO website. I wasn't expecting any "fan mail" here at kboo.fm so I didn't thing to check...until a friend told me about the hundreds, nay, thousands of emails piling up at this website all about my show. Oddly enough, only one (yours) was positive. All the others said something to the effect of "what the *&^!%&# is SHE doing on this venerable radio station!"
That's ok.
I can take it.
So, Mr. Randy, you liked my quirky music? Hope you heard my show yesterday morning (October 27). It, too, was filled with a wide variety of, uh, good stuff. I'm on again on Monday, November 24th. I do hope you'll tune in. I'll play a randy tune, just for you.
I'm pretty big into contradancing, so I have made it my mission to play at least one contra tune each show. Next time you swing through P-Town, I'll give you a lesson. You won't ever be the same again...
Um, is this my friend who goes by the name of Randy in Colorado? You know, the Randy with the beautiful wife and the two red-headed kids? If so, thanks, my friend. If not, you, stranger Randy, have just finaigled yourself into the most elite fan club on Earth...
Warm regards,
Diane Hunt, DJ
