    Acheulean Age - Episode July 4, 2026

    Been reading the book "An Old Woman's Reflections: The Life of a Blasket Island Storyteller" by Peig Sayers, recently. Peig was illiterate, and only spoke and knew Irish, called Gaelic at the time. And yet, her son's transcription of her stories and translation into English really conveys her warmth, melody, and idiom/myth phrases, in a way that with almost no other book I've read I feel not just that I know Peig, but that she knows me. I hope I can leave some sort of media that carries even just a fraction of a whisper of a murmur of that personhood and connection. I hope you hear Peig thru-in your days, too.Playlist: Susan Raye and the Buck Owens Band, featuring Leanne Scott - Calgary International AirportThe Ratskin Family Band - TruckerGreat Uncles Of The Revolution, featuring Andrew Downing, Kevin Turcotte, Jesse Zubot, Steve Dawson - When We Were LittleBlu Beach Band - DogwaterLeeroy Stagger - Summer RainJoan MacIsaac - Mister You Stole That Song (From Me)Grouyan Gombo - La prairie54-40 - Crossing A Canyon (Unplugged)Alan & Jan - ProgressJim Croce - Workin' At The Car Wash BluesJanis Joplin - Little Girl Blue (Live)Oak Park High Stage Band 1988, featuring Gary Pollard - CortezUncle Neptune - I Love That I'm So In Love With YouThe Langley Schools Music Project - Space OddityBeck - True Love Will Find You In The EndBig Wreck - AroundThe Fall - Bill Is DeadBilly Joel - Through The Long NightMaximilian Torsten - Rosen Lieben Blauen TrauerPatricia Murray & Jim Smith, featuring Kim Vincent (guitar), Margie Carmichael-Scotto (guitar), Gordon Belsher (bass), Scott MacAulay (Highland bagpipes) - The Water Is WideFraser & Debolt (With Ian Guenther) - The Waltze Of The Tennis Players

    Acheulean Age - Episode May 30, 2026

    Was showing off the cool stuff in my room (trinkets, treasures, old records, old books, even new books) to some pals of mine. I've got a couple of nifty tote bags (ok brag!) and one is of a library card, not for a person but for a book, the recipe card that goes in the beige pocket, that one? Yeah! So I picked up what I thought was an empty toe, and it had some weight, I peeked inside, showed my friends - "a toddler's pockets!" Some lovely stones, delightful sticks, a massive pinecone, everything I might need to make a real good radio show! And here we are, pocket and tote-sized, to boot :)Playlist: Montreux - EgretsHilary Kleinig - Tomorrow Will Be FairMeredith Bates - Book I - 1st Incantation (Protection)Andrew MacKelvie - Another PlaceHenry Nielsen - Brief OutlinePatricia O'Callaghan & John Burge - The Abandoned Waltz (The Mata Hari Suite, No. 6)The Abramson Singers - RosesDoris Troy - Bossa Nova BluesLee Scratch Perry - RepentedIggy Pop, featuring Joshua Homme, Dean Fertita, Matt Helders - VultureJerome Godboo - MichelleMorgus & The 3 Ghouls - Morgus The MagnificentJenny - Gospel Of City Lights And PavementsSly and the Family Stone - Family AffairMacDowell Sisters, featuring Henry I.
