MUSIC – ~35 sec – lyrics: “We are on a ship, a great big ship. It takes all of us to take of it. And we can use the stars to navigate our trip. We are riding on a ship.” That’s the closing of “On a Ship,” by Blacksburg, Va., singer-songwriter Kat Mills. Since January 2010, Virginia Water Radio has been bringing you sounds, music, and information about the watery nature of the good ship Earth, particularly the waters of the Commonwealth of Virginia. With the recent passage of Water Radio’s 14th anniversary, this will be the show’s last regularly scheduled episode. Water Radio may return from time to time with special-project episodes; if so, I hope you’ll be able to have a listen. To mark the transition away from regular episodes, I’ve invited several guests to call out the range of topics that Water Radio has aimed to explore. Have a listen for about 45 seconds to their voices, interspersed with some favorite sounds, of birds, the spokesman for traditional fishing boat singers, children, a rolling river, and rumbling thunder. VOICES AND SOUNDS - ~41 sec VOICE 1 - Water in the biology of humans, birds, frogs, plants, and other living things. SOUND 1 - Little Blue Heron fishing, plus sounds of Red-winged Blackbirds. VOICE 2 - Water-related history and cultural expression. SOUND 2 – Spokesman for Northern Neck Chantey Singers saying, “We are the Northern Neck Chantey Singers.” VOICE 3 - Water laws and policies, management and uses, and people. SOUND 3 – Group of children and adults calling out “Take a kid to a park!” VOICE - Groundwater, surface water, and watersheds. SOUND 4 – South Fork Roanoke River in Montgomery County, Va. VOICE - Water science, water research, and weather. SOUND 5 – Thunderstorm. Along with its focus on water-related sounds, much of Water Radio’s vitality has come from music about water, with either the music or the musicians having a Virginia connection. Several groups and individuals have graciously allowed frequent use of their songs. Those include Kat Mills, whose song “On a Ship” you heard earlier; Ben Cosgrove and Stewart Scales, whose versions of “Shenandoah” and “Cripple Creek,” respectively, open and close alternating episodes; and the following artists, whom you’ll hear in an upcoming medley: the late Madeline MacNeil, with “New Spring Waltz”; Timothy Seaman, with “Bass Fisherman’s Reel”; Torrin Hallett, with “Tropical Tantrum”; Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, with “Samuel Mason.” Chamomile and Whiskey, with “Dirty Sea”; The Steel Wheels, with “Valley”; No Strings Attached, with “Kartune”; and Bob Gramann, with “Rappahannock Running Free.” Have a listen for a little over three minutes. MUSIC - ~3 min./15 sec. “New Spring Waltz.” - ~ 23 sec – instrumental. “Bass Fisherman’s Reel - ~20 sec – instrumental. “Tropical Tantrum” - ~27 sec – instrumental. “Samuel Mason” - ~24 sec – lyrics: “Samuel Mason, that is my name.
