Conflux Cornucopia Cerebellum Cocktail Hour: Episode 20: Dive Bar on the Dusty Edge of Nowhere

December 21, 9pm

Podcasts

Hello fellow Alchemists and Confluxians: My apologies for the delay in posting this blog. Life has been a bit hectic. Missed a week after this show and am just now getting around to posting a blog, although I did put the show up a couple weeks back for the podcast.
This show is a trip to a dive bar on the dusty edge of nowhere. More of a feeling than a place….you know the feeling; you know the place.
Sit back and let the darkness envelope you as you drift into a dangerous place where strangers are sizing you up for a good way to use you, but not before you use them first.

Welcome fellow Confulxians, the Alchemist here…..that’s a word now….if you listen, you are a Confluxian. Which means your spirit is in harmony with the abundant sonic cerebral flow of the universe.

Tonight’s aural concoction is called the Mute Aunts….Vol. 1. I have a lot of instrumental music in many styles, so I will revisit this theme often. This show is also dedicated to the late great Charlie Watts who just passed away a day ago at the age of 80. Sounds like peacefully in his sleep.
My apologies, due to some technical issues, the first song is cut off at the beginning. The trim application is not allowing me to remove that section of the show as of now, so FAST FORWARD to 4 minutes and 20 seconds, and pick up the show from there.
