    Anxiety Blues

    Anxiety Blues

    Our show today comes in three parts

    Part one: Singer Songwriter Linda Jay Reed shares her creation process.
    Part two: Linda Reed sings the song Anxiety Blues
    Part three: a SoundSlice from an island in the Philippines

    Part One: Linda Jay Reed wrote her first song on guitar when she was 17 years old. She has continued the practice for decades and has gained a faithful fanbase. After hearing her song, Fallin’ Free, I fell hard for both the warmth and the weariness that she exudes through her voice. Every inch of her personal journey is etched the sound she creates. She is honest without being bitter. The music and the moods she creates draw me in. Right before she moved from New York City to California, in the midst of a mountain of moving boxes, Linda took some time out to tell me about her music.
    MUSIC:

    Part Two:
    MUSIC

    Sound Slice: Let me set the scene for you. I am on the shore of Pandan Island in the Philippines. It is a short boat ride from the city of Sablayan. This was the beginning of a 5 week trip to see some of the islands and some of my Aunt Rolla’s family. But first this stop on an island surrounded by a coral reef and teaming with sea turtles. A small shark swam near the shore, and looked so playful, I had to go snorkeling around the island again.

    CLOSING
