Secret Music News, December 2014

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 27
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.         

  I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states. I
usually prefer high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if
necessary. Just send me an email for more info. At least half of what I
play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks. 

  First, please note that my mailing address has changed. For various
reasons, I've decided to go with a PO Box for the foreseeable future. Please use the following
address for all mailings through traditional post. For UPS/package
mailings, please contact me for a suitable shipping address. Thanks for
your understanding.

Scott Raymond/WVKR
PO Box 146
Fishkill, NY 12524                   

 Moving is done, though the unpacking continues. There's a reason why I
don't move often. I have too much stuff. I'm starting to unpack the CD's, and I've been
catching up with the music. Haven't seen much in the way of live shows,
though hopefully that will change soon. I know I've been out of touch with
some of you of late. Sorry about that. I've had other things to deal with.
If you have something interesting you think I'd like to hear, let me know.
With winter coming, I probably won't be hosting any
interviews/performances for a while. Though if you want to brave the
weather, let me know.

   For more info or weekly playlists, check out my website below. I'm also
on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my top 20 playlist for
November, 2014. Enjoy!

  So much has changed since my last email. I went to Ireland in early
October and had a wonderful time. The whole country is beautiful, had some great food and
drink, saw some great concerts, and came back with some beautiful
pictures. I recommend it to anyone who wants to go.

  The moment I got back, I started packing and moving to a new place.
Already a stressful thing, but when you have tons of books and CD's like I do, it's that much
more so. Still moving and unpacking now, but the bulk of it is done. The
last couple of months have been interesting, but better times are ahead.

Secret Music News, October 2014

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 27
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.         

  I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states. I
usually prefer high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if
necessary. Just send me an email for more info. At least half of what I
play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks. 

  First, please note that my mailing address has changed. For various
reasons, I've decided to go with a PO Box for the foreseeable future. Please use the following
address for all mailings through traditional post. For UPS/package
mailings, please contact me for a suitable shipping address. Thanks for
your understanding.

PO Box 146
Fishkill, NY 12524                   

 WVKR had its annual pledge drive earlier this month. I don't have a final
total, but I'm told we met our goals and will be around to bring people good music for some time
to come. I raised over $500 during my show. Thanks very much to all those
who called in with their pledges and to those who helped out by sending
CD's to use as premiums. I really appreciate it.

  The other big news is that I'll be traveling to Ireland in early October
for a much needed vacation. My mom is turning 75 this year, so we're celebrating by seeing
Ireland. We'll be there for about a week and a half. If anyone in the area
would like to get together for dinner or such, let me know. And if you
have any suggestions or advice, let me know that as well.

   For more info or weekly playlists, check out my website below. I'm also
on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my top 20 playlist for
September, 2014. Enjoy!

Secret Music change of address

Hi -

  Sorry about sending another email so soon, but I wanted to make sure
this got across and it got botched in the last email. Basically, I'm changing my mailing address
for several reasons. Hopefully, it'll come up correctly in the signature,
but I'll type it below to make sure. The new address is a PO box and will
serve for all USPS/postal mail. If you have anything to ship UPS/package
rate, let me know and I'll give you an address for that. I should have an
update on that soon. Thanks for your understanding.

  There are some great live concerts coming to the area in August.
Unfortunately, I missed seeing Ben Neill, but I got to see David Torn play. Great show. Some big
names, and some really interesting performances. I hope some of you in the
area can make it out to a show or two. Really looking forward to seeing
Markus Reuter play live. Check out this link for more information.

  If any of you out there happen to be in the area and want to stop by for
an interview or to perform live, I'd love to have you here. Summertime is beautiful here,
too. I'm always looking for interviews and/or performances from
interesting people. Send me an email and we'll work something out. For

Secret Music News, July 2014

Hi -

  My name is Scott Raymond, and for those of you who don't know me, I'm a
New Age/Ambient/Electronic music DJ with WVKR-FM. WVKR is a 3700 watt
non-commercial station broadcasting from Vassar College to the greater
Hudson Valley region. My show, "Secret Music", has been on for over 27
years and has a large and devoted audience. The show airs every Sunday
from 9AM to 12 noon EST. For more information or to listen in online,
check out our website at www.wvkr.org.         

  I'm always looking for new and interesting music to play. If you have
something you think I'd be interested in, feel free to send it to the address below. I'm perfectly
fine with downloads instead of CD's, especially for all you overseas
people who pay large sums of money to mail things here to the states. I
usually prefer high quality MP3's, though I can accept other formats if
necessary. Just send me an email for more info. At least half of what I
play these days comes to me through downloads. Thanks.                   


  So much has happened since my last email. Lots to catch you up on.
First, I went silent for a while in June and July. Not my fault, really. The gist of it is that
horrendous computer/network issues kept me from accessing email for a
couple of weeks. I didn't lose any data, but hardware was replaced. All is
well, at least for the moment. If I missed someone along the line, I'm
sorry. Wasn't much I could do. 

  June had a couple of nice events. First, I celebrated 27 years of Secret
Music. Doesn't seem like that long ago, really. So much time has passed, so many changes
in the music business. But there's still a lot of great music out there
and wonderful people who make the music and more wonderful people who
listen to my show. I celebrated by playing local music to honor the
community that has supported me for so long. And also in June, I hosted
Peter Calandra for an interview. A really nice guy and great musician.

  There are a whole bunch of great live concerts coming to the area in
July and August. Some big names, and some really interesting performances. I hope some of you in
the area can make it out to a show or two. Check out this link for more
information.

http://www.secretmusicwvkr.blogspot.com/2014/07/upcoming-concerts.html

  If any of you out there happen to be in the area and want to stop by for
an interview or to perform live, I'd love to have you here. I'm always looking for interviews
and/or performances from interesting people. Send me an email and we'll
work something out. For more info or weekly playlists, check out my
website below. I'm also on Facebook, so look for me there too. Here's my
top 20 playlist for June, 2014. Enjoy!

Upcoming concerts

Hi -

  Here's some info on upcoming concerts that should be of interest to my listeners. Hope you can make it to some of these. I'm going to try and make as many of these as I can. Some great shows coming up.

Saturday, July 26, 2014, 5-7 pm: Ben Neill performs at Manitoga, Garrison, NY

  Ben Neill is a local musician and composer who works with an instrument of his own devising called the mutantrumpet, which is a trumpet with multiple bells and fitted with electronic controls. He will be performing a new piece at Manitoga, an outdoor venue which is also the Russell Wright design center. I honestly don't know what this will sound like, but Ben is a great musician and Manitoga is a wonderful outdoor space. This is one of those events you need to see to believe. Here's some links to more info:

Sunday, July 27, 2014, 7:30pm: Altan performs at the Towne Crier Cafe, Beacon, NY

Altan is a wonderful Irish group that has been around for over 30 years. I've played their music on my show before. If you like Irish music, this is a must see. And the new Towne Crier space is wonderful. My congratulations to Phil Ciganer for creating such a wonderful concert space. Here's a link to more info:

Thursday, July 31, 2014, 8:30pm - David Torn and Dean Sharp perform at Quinns in Beacon, NY

David Torn is a well known guitarist and ECM recording artist, and Dean Sharp joins him on drums. This is going to be a wild show. David is exceptionally talented. A rare chance to see him in a small space. Here's a link to more info:

Friday, August 15, 2014, 9pm: Belew, Levin, Mastellato, Reuter perform at the Bearsville Theater, Woodstock, NY

Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Pat Mastellato, Markus Reuter and friends. This is going to be a prog rock funfest. They're running a retreat for musicians in the Catskills that week and this is the culmination of those efforts. This is a must for prog rock fans. Here's a link to more info:

Saturday, August 16. 9pm: David Rothenberg and Markus Reuter perform at Quinns in Beacon, NY

David Rothenberg is a local horn player and Markus Reuter is a well known touch guitar player who has played in a variety of groups all over the world. This is a rare chance to catch Markus on a small local stage. I'm not sure what it'll sound like, but it'll be great. Here's a link to more info:

Friday, August 29 and Saturday August 30, times vary: Liz Story and Lisa Downing perform in CT and MA

These shows are pretty far away, but these are a rare chance to see Liz Story in concert. She is a great person and incredible piano player. Lisa Downing is also a talented piano player. The Friday show will be in Old Saybrook, CT and will also feature a performance by Will Ackerman, guitarist and founder of Windham Hill Records. Well worth the drive. The Saturday performance is in Northampton, MA and just features Liz and Lisa. Here's a link to more info:
