Welcome to The Shuffle!
The Shuffle is a weekly 3 hour radio show and podcast. The show airs
(usually) live on WFIT-FM in Melbourne,
FL, Wednesday evenings from 7-10 PM. Podcasts of the shows are posted here
on a quasi-frequent basis.
The Shuffle features music from around the world and across the ages--Jazz
to Punk, New Age to New Wave, Classical to Comedy, we plow through it
all.
Music you know.
Creating a Hit
Ray Manzarek talks through the process behind the creation of Light My Fire . Originally an interview on Fresh Air, a program hosted by the normally insufferable Terry Gross and available archived on the NPR web site here (Real Audio link). The entire interview is interesting, but the part about writing—creating may be more accurate—Light My Fire starts around 9:30. Link inspired by the great George Winston tribute to The Doors, "NIght Divides the Day".
My current favorite:
An amazing solo banjo version of Paul Simon's Graceland by The Tallest Man on Earth, AKA Kristian Matsson of Dalarna, Sweden.
