Pandora Presents... a new audio episode, "The Blues Scale"
The blues are mysterious. Otherworldly, even. Tonally, the blues forms its own universe, neither minor nor major. There's a dominant seven, there's a cluster of chromatics around the tritone, and that pillar of tonality -- the third -- is liquid, bending like a lakeside reed. Bob Coons plugs his guitar in and helps me investigate the heptonic blues scale. We also hear how Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" works over blues changes, and see how even Henry Mancini bent the three.
Thanks for taking the time to listen,
Kevin

Bob Toons is synonymous with Blues. What more can be said?

love pandora -- just curious - have you guys ever thought of letting listeners submit a song so they can hear other versions or other songs like that one, e.g. "making believe" which kitty wells did and then was covered by emmy lou.

This is great. I've been looking for a radio station that played the type of music that my wife and I enjoy and this is it. I would like to here more of the album, just not one of the songs before you go on to another song.

I feel okay an I'm sorry I haven't been talking to you; I been going through somethings an I feel that the lord want let the devil get too far but I need you all to support me I got some bad news about my daughter an she would never be the same and it hurt, I really enjoy hearing great songs that encourages me to go on this very lonely way but the lord would make a way out of know way and i really need you to create a specail station for her an offer to have it in her name it's Nianna and she 15 and she really need for all of my fans out there to pray for her strenght and courage to fight this illness and to let me know that you are there and that I really do have someone praying with me. God bless you All an keep the faith Ye shalt see the light very soon.

God has giving us another day to be open to his words and tell others of his presence andit has been a pleasurer to listen to this wonderful music and it gives the feeling of you having your own station to tune in to and it makes me feel comfortable with the many different songs combine together and they make you feel what they are singing about like it is happening to you and your station really should have a chat line for your coporate office to hear what fans like myself have to say to make it even better for you to make more money I can't wait to hear from you all about my lasts posted letter.

Posted by: JAMES CASTELLANI at January 8, 2008 04:34 PM
I am about to get a divorce from my husband and this is a very bad experiences but it's the right thing to do I have been there for this man and he has mocked my life with saddness and hurt and pain for 13years and he made me feel like I was the most evil person on the earth and I gave him the best years of my life and he took so much and never gave back for he never showed the love or care for me or my children and this is not a good thing for me or them but I have the Lord with me an he will never hurt me like this man with know know care in the world and I feel like a wasted 13years with alot of hurt and nver a time to heal for thing that caused this family to fall apart and now I have some kind of strenght to walk away with know sad or bad feel about his need to leave and go back to a place without a family an I hope the lord help his troubled heart and soul for I do too still care but he just want never have the chance to see or hear me say it, I will be alone but I will have a peace of mind for God told me to be strong an to pray for my pain and to forgive him for he know not what he has or have no knowledge of what he has done and this is from my heat for God let me know that he wasn't right for me and I could do bad by myself and the lord wuold send me a friend to help and maybe even be a close friend and this time I will take my time and get to know him better before I tie the knot again but I thank God for you all being there for me in my time of need and I still will keep the faith and never give up on the Lord for he want lead me wrong and he still have abig impact on me and my new life as I born again solider of the lord and he will see this all the way through so keep me in all of you'll prayers and let the lord see that my fans are there for me and I can too have a peace of mind now so thank you again for I know and say these things in Jesus name Amen
