Broad Strokes

Last month I did my radio show, Broad Strokes, on Washington Heights Free Radio (WHFR), and it was a blast!  I was so relaxed, and perhaps even funny. 

I really enjoyed the playlist I came up with.  I think it’s probably one of my best. 

Anyway, this show is dedicated to Paul Squires, an amazing poet and friend who passed away recently.  Miss you Paul, you were the lantern in the darkness. 

Read his blog, it’s amazing.  

You can listen to the me, Dj Calypso Sally, here: Broad Strokes.

I will be on the air again this coming Wednesday, August 25 at 8:00 p.m. with the band, The Boy With the Ice-Cream Face.  The name of this band reminds me of a William Carlos Williams poem: The Red Wheelbarrow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Red Wheelbarrow

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens

 

 

 

Boy with the Ice-Cream Face will be playing a live acoustic set, so check it out.

Also, if you’re in a band or know someone who is, and would like to be on the show, please email me at roarplanet@gmail.com.

  1. Great program, Calypso Sally! and the Red Wheelbarrow is up there among my recently discovered favorites. That image you have used! The broken wine glass on the piano. Perfectly appropriate for your dedication to Paul, though chilling. (x)

  2. glad to have stopped by, love the foto… pianos always have a story to tell…. i like how you sed you were happy, relaxed and funny!!!… some great picks in that list too…. funny how a person can leave such a big empty hole where he once lived… i like to think paul is still hanging around in a totally different way with the same ol coolness… and that poem, it is a wonderful blend of color and thought.. it is the simple things we care so much about… take care,
