Albuquerque, NM

It’s bringing home, community, and family together. Seeing that all of our stories have more to tell than we ever suspected. Hanging laundry like Buddhist prayer flags. Discovering the roots of peace.

The wind blew away the morning rain, and the blue sky and wind is rounding up another set of freshwhite clouds. As there is winter, always spring will follow. About this time of year the idea of spring planted, even though we are still hoping for more snow to fill the resevoir and make for good skiing, the days are already getting longer.

The followiwng story become a tale with many errors, but acts as a segway anyway to the next blog. Realize: Southwest Stages is the one on KSFR, with production studios located in ALBUQUERQUE NM and they do a terrific job. They may in the past have played SXSW Music.
Take this as a pause in a longer tale and realize the great value of their work.

Interlude:

In telling stories the seasons often play a stream of metaphors about stages a man or group, or a woman will travel through. A musician though need not be caught in any particular season for their songs can call them to any era and they move as easy as the dancers twirling partners on hard brown earth between all stages and seasons.

In this chapter, I mention the amazing show SXSW on KSFR.org Here over some years the productions these guys made are broadcast around the world. (Literally). I used to think about the show as old timey music, some country, and bluegrass with a lot of history added. Perhaps I am mistaken! The show is Southwest stages on Friday evenings at 9PM on KSFR Radio and they play a lot of SXSW music. Not enough information was provided in the program guide. Si I went to google and they may have played SXSW music but Southwest Stages produces all the recordings of festivals etc that I have previoussly attributed to SXSW.

SXSW does put on festivals with lots of videos from recordings on YouTube.com. For information, do visit their website! sxsw.com

So maybe it’s not their show: here’s a research project for you: go to their site: sxsw.com and listen to KSFR Radio,101.1 FM, also streams on the web, and see if you can discover the link. SXSW may also sponsor the show because there are ads about their expanded studio productions and services. (ERROR: different and good organization: Southwest Stages from Albuquerque NM I repeat: sorry for the confusion)

Well to know that these historical gems can be heard around the world is a very fine matter, accomplishment and gift to our community. Take Note: you can buy tickets for March’s week long festival in Austin TX. sxsw.com
My curoisity is aroused: was that a Regae show produced by SXSW Productions? Could Southwest Stages be one and the same? NOPE! (Hey Southwest Stages may have need some mention too!) Since I think that Southwest Stages is an incredible show and gift to the community, I do encourage you to discover it too. KSFR.org

So somewhere from being a band and a major festival producer: SXSW had a dream, and moved it into the material plane. TO be continued….
