Testing For Echo – Episode 8 – Let’s Loosen Up – Orig Air Date Oct 1, 2022

I’d like to think that we’ve lightened up this show a little bit.

I’ve also raised the level of class with one of music’s classiest dudes, Bryan Ferry.

Plus, Kate Bush has defined classy for years.

A local chap Marcello Ciurleo has reached out to me with some great songs he has done. I’ve included one in this episode. I think you’ll like it.

One thing you’re going to notice is that I have 3 station IDs done by others.

  1. Gerald O’Brien of Nightwinds is at the top and is a forever friend of the show.
  2. John Young of Lifesigns has sent me so many great songs.
  3. The last one is Alan Cross. If you don’t know Alan Cross, you should get to know him. his web site is here https://www.ajournalofmusicalthings.com/. I have been listening to Alan on the radio and internet for decades and he is a music encyclopedia. He is a professional in every sense of the word. Plus, he’s a really nice guy who didn’t think twice about doing the ID for me.

I’m really enjoying this show and feel that it’s becoming more natural.

Don’t forget that the show has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/TestingForEchoCHSR/ .

Please feel free to contact me at TestingForEchoCHSR [at] gmail [dot] com with any thoughts, opinions, requests etc. 

I’d love to find out what people are thinking of this show. Contact me.

Oh, to appease a friend I’d like to point out that RUSH was greatly influenced by Led Zeppelin but have also mentioned King Crimson as well. I mention Heatwave Festival from 1980 when I saw Talking Heads and Adrian Belew was a member. Just before he joined King Crimson.

Progressive Rock has been more of an influence in the world of music than some people realize. I'm hoping that this show opens listener's minds and ears.

    • Thank you so much for your feedback, Mark! I am absolutely in agreement with you. 🙂 I think there was only 1 episode where I didn’t have RUSH but I strive to have them in all others. I have a Roxy Music tune coming in a couple of episodes so I hope you’re there to hear it. Take good care and thanks again! Tim
