Tune in to Blues Corner Radio

We are very happy to be sponsoring Blues Corner Radio, the radio station run by Joe Cupp AKA JC Spinner.

Joe Cupp grew up in Cincinnati listening to all types of music but very few stations played R&B & Blues music. WCIN in Cincinnati and WDAO in Dayton is where Joe heard songs he knew would be hits. He was lucky enough to see several great musicians as King Records brought many to Cincinnti - R&B artists like Joe Tex, Valerie Carr, Roy Brown, Jack Dupree, Otis Williams & the Charms, Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, Ivory Joe Hunter, Johnny "Guitar" Watson and James Brown just to name a few. 

Joe wants to bring to you all these songs that he has collected from the old great songs to the latest soul and blues, which is why he started Blues Corner Radio. Although the show is centered around slues and soul if he like the song he will play it. This show is all about new and old music and Joe's love for what has been touching his soul all these years, he appreciates all the artists who continue to carry the torch to many generations to come. 

Joe also has a very musical family and many friends who are musicians, he still loves to jam with them when he get the chance.

Forthcoming 2013: The Legendary Rabbit of Death

The Rabbit of Death lives in the magnificent Cave of Everlasting Terror. He rides each day on his huge motorcycle to bring a little chaos to the lives of rabbits in need of change. They meet him with trepidation, as he can be gruff and strange – but he is a kindly figure even though he has a strange and startling way of helping. The rabbits he helps join him in his mysterious world – becoming Rabbits of: Special Powers, Poetry, Destiny, Laughter, Rainbows, and Flyingness. They work together with the Fox Family from Finland to rid Penarth of the foul and horrible chain-smoking rats Morgoth and Sowgoth Gizzardswill – and their vile vindictive nephews.

These stories overflow with humour, word-play, and weird surprises. They carry a heart-warming message: Everyone has skills and qualities that can be developed. Everyone can learn to be kind, creative, and exciting.

Harry Potter meets Monty Python when nine-year-old Ræchel Togden’s dad agrees to be her typist and Photoshop facilitator. Ræchel Togden’s imagination runs wild when her dad—being an author and artist—enables her to develop stories and illustrations beyond the limits of her age – yet her creations remain entirely hers.

An Interview With a Welsh Buddhist Publisher

AmeriCymru is a social network for the Welsh, ex-pats, persons of Welsh descent and cymruphiles. AmeriCymru is the home of the West Coast Eisteddfod.

AmeriCymru talks to ’ö-Dzin Tridral of Aro Books worldwide, a Welsh printing press specializing in publishing works in the Aro Tradition of Nyingma Buddhism.

“Our two most recent publications are Relaxing into Meditation by Ngakma Nor'dzin and An Odd Boy (Volume One) by Doc. Togden. Relaxing into Meditation is an accessible introduction to meditation which can enable someone with no knowledge of the subject to approach meditation via practices of relaxation. An Odd Boy is a memoir from the period of the British Blues Boom of the 1960s and 1970s. Interwoven with this is the view that everyone has the possibility of being an artist and of appreciating life as art.”
