Musical Conversations is now a 24/7 internet radio station that you can listen to using the player on this page, or using the TuneIn app on your phone, or Amazon Alexa device. I’m sure there are a few other ways also.
We’re going through a transition now. Updates were slow and as soon as the page is set up again, it’s going to be updated regularly. There’s a lot of content that needs sifted through, edited, reworked bit, and then uploaded. Please be patient with us, tune in and let us know what you think, and stay tuned to what’s to come!
Thank you,
Stan.
p.s. – Thanks to Blake!
Pandemic ending?
Is the pandemic ending, or is it just protocols being pulled back? Being fully vaccinated, I look forward to experiencing live music once again. It’s been way too long, and really only less time than it would have been if I’d not gotten to see my friends in Abacab:...
Abacab: The Music of Genesis
Here we are just past halfway through the year, which was a year that I’d planned to have filled with live music, leading to reviews here on Musical Conversations, and more work filling out the rest of the topics. It doesn’t look like it’s getting any better and I...
May 4th, 1970 Kent State University
I wrote this for a Facebook group about Kent State, The May Fourth Movement, regarding the shooting on May 4th, 1970, by the National Guard, that killed four and injured nine others. This was to be the fiftieth anniversary, and I had plans to go to Kent, Ohio, for the...
Abby K, Eddie Z
The Evening Muse on March 16th Here we are at a point where I know the world is about to change. In retrospect, as I write this much later than the date listed, I see how far the world has changed, as well as how much I miss live music. This is the last live...
More about Neil Peart
I’ve had a bit of time to think about the terrible loss of Neil Peart. I wrote the following in a Facebook group of people that have been fans of Rush, long enough to be considered ‘Elders’ of the fandom of the group. Though I'm in a lot of different groups about and...
“Local Bands” and Their Music
It really bothers me how rare it is for someone to take a chance on local bands and music. I’m eager to hear how these bands approach the art of music, and am always open to new styles and genres. What bothers me is that many people cannot handle it and would rather...
Heilung
The first time I had ever heard of Heilung was at a table top roleplaying game that either I was running, or the game was running us as players. I don’t remember if it was a Dungeons & Dragons game, or another sort-of roleplaying game called “Sherlock Solves!”...
What Are Musical Conversations?
It started off as an occasional broadcast via an internet radio style connection. At that time, the concept was to share music with friends, have them hear music that they may not have been aware of, also to be the radio that DJ I’ve always wanted to be. It moved to...
About Neil Peart
This past Friday we learned of the death of Neil Peart, which happened earlier in the week. A dear old friend sent what to me were initially cryptic messages thanks to auto-correct. And I was stunned. Plans last Friday night were to go see my friends in their Pink...
Redesigning and Redeveloping in 2020
Well, 2019 sucked. Let's see how 2020 will be. Here we are at the beginning of it, I'm completely reworking the site, or rather, having it reworked. Thanks Zöe of Websites By Zöe for their work. Yes, still working with Retromatic Studios, so thanks are due to them...
