THE RFW Spotlight - Bill Frisell

 Bill Frisell

Don't be alarmed, he is alive and well

and is celebrating his 75th birthday tonight.

Spotlight 1

“It's kind of surreal somehow,
because I really feel like I haven't even started yet.
I'm not sure if I feel 75. I don't even know what that means.
I hope I can just keep going for a while longer because
I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface yet.
“I've been so lucky to get to do so much of what I wanted to do,
but it still doesn't I feel like I’m close to done. I don't have a goal other 
than just to try to keep going and try to keep figuring it out.”

Bill remains one of the best guitarists I have ever seen 

and his music makes a perfect start to our new feature

The RFW Spotlight.

Enjoy!

"Who Killed Bambi?"

* That Voice In Your Head is You.
Your brain creates "Inner Monologue" in your mental landscape without utilizing speech.
It's natural and intricate to problem-solving, memory and other self-support activity.
It's the unwanted wanted voices that some experience, that when untreated,
could lead to deep depression, other mental illnesses or harmful actions.
Please reach out to someone if this is happening to You, because We care.

"Heroes die and then come more
There's always more"

*We beam down into the city of Tehran and our musical correspondents
report from around the country of Iran.
This is not a Holy War. This is a sad war.
The US has now continued the work of the elite groups of the past
who have invaded and killed for a god, money or, as seems to be in this case,
 a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
Wag The Dog Donny will see his day, until then I pray.

"He made up the person he wanted to be

And changed into a new personality

Even the greatest stars

Change themselves in the looking glass"

*This "prophetic" RFW Transmission was produced Friday night between 9 and 11p.
One of the idea notes I wrote was "Good Morning Iran".
I woke up the next morning and saw that the US had attacked Iran a few hours later. 

Fact is stranger than fiction. Enjoy this nascent musical premonition .
