By the. Light. Red light. Light. The story of Morris and Hilda from Gladstone.

It's time for another episode to soften up. I think. When you left me last time if you remember correctly I had made an appearance on a stupid TV game show and been thrown off the set for slugging the

host. I'd also made a couple of important phone calls one to Paul at my ex-girlfriend whose answering machine message made it clear that we were through and one that Gladys at the glottis the nightclub singer who could lead me to a black yoke line underground mole contact Blackie might be able to give me some information about Jaime leads the criminal mastermind who'd stolen my priceless baseball card collection. Anyway Gladys had refused to give me any information over the phone so I decided to pay or a visit at the pink stallion where she was performing. Chapter 11. I pulled Cleopatra my immaculate 1947 Rambler hyena into a no parking zone in front of the pink stallion and walked in the place was jammed. There was one small empty table next to the

stage. I pushed my way through the crowd and sat down. The waitress took my order. What'll it be sir in seven please. Ha. As in seven when Chris was obviously in the band was playing the introduction to Corky Bigelow's classic ballad. I'll do it when Gladys appeared on the stage. She was wearing a silver sequinned floor length gown that was slipped to the hip and cuts so low that it revealed some of the finest real estate in butterfat County single spotlight bathed her perfect body in crimson. She was breathtaking what am I doing. And you've made it. Oh my you still

me. Yes I'll do when you make love to you in its will on mine went over me in my arms and me eat you in their. Thinking. See the sign. Thank you

for the dangers of nakedness off and on right after this important message. Her you're. In the room and they went in that room. Are you prejudiced against prunes. If you don't appreciate them properly you know that the rooms are packed with potassium perfect for preserves compost or pastry. They had possessed to party or look up a simple rehabs and you'll be pleasantly surprised how pleased your people will be when prunes appear in your pantry. You can depend on runes for the pet to live up to your potential. Remember the prudent prefer prunes. They want to

stay in tune then tune with room and now more equal chance with Nick Kristoff private. I stepped off the stage and slithered up to my table but temperature immediately rose 15 degrees. She stood there for a moment staring at me through her huge purple lid at the half moon eyes steam began to rise from my drip dry Dicky May I. A voice was as thick as a refrigerated peanut butter. Well a stable pretty smart about here my sister pressures were reaching volcanic levels. Nick I must talk to here. Planet. Fire away like the you in quiet. Wow I don't know you my boy. He sure didn't waste any time. I don't know Gladys. I'm on a pretty tight schedule and I don't disappoint them. Wow.

OK glass. When a javelin mind right now Gladys slid out of her chair like margarine on a baked potato. I followed her downstairs to her dressing room through a trailing cloud of Chateau Perk was in a mist perfume. He didn't speak but her rotating cleavages told me everything I needed to know which will unlock the door to where dressing room when I followed her into the room was dark. I was reaching for the light switch when a familiar voice stopped me cold. Don't touch that height laki. I understand you've been looking for me. Nick has a rude voice made my skin crawl like maggots on a pork job. I realized why Gladys had been in such a hurry to get me up there. Yeah Blackie and I had a little run in with the Legion. I thought you might be able to help me find him. Ya know the neck O is anxious to help a friend. I

decided to dispense with the niceties. How much is this going to cost me. Blackie. Kind of surprised you. I wouldn't take money from an old friend. Come on Blackie get to the point how much. As he paused for dramatic effect is a rant like gurgling filled the room. Well I've been thinking it over and I thought maybe I had interest in MT would be reasonable what. He was referring to the dick smelt baseball card that we each had. I'd been looking for smelt for 20 years and I would rather die than give half of them away. I'm afraid I can't do that Blackie. You know how much smelt mange to me I know. That's why I want to help you to get him back. But you got to act fast. The word is that Leach is planning to dump smelt for half a million and split. By the way rage began to boil in mine got

you know wary Yes don't you black. Tell me Blackie tell me on that but I want half. Back that's too much black I feel like no. Mouth no the. Blind black gay just trying to make a living like everybody else. I couldn't bear the rage and frustration anymore knowing that light is the mold greatest fear. I reach for the switch then I heard the unmistakable click of a 23 caliber corn how suspects I would do it. At this range even I can hit you the beady close set eyes and his tiny brown face shimmered in the darkness like grapes on a fruit salad. And slowly moved my hand away from the switch. Okay Blackie I guess I'll have to find leads without your help. I spawn on my copper sold my keys and walked out the molds whimperings followed me down the hall like yeah don't you know

it up by me. Change him die. All I'm told tune in next week for more adventures of Nick to something that girl. Told the whole. Story. The music that was written and recorded just the other day by a very own. Oh.

Or. Or

or. Music by Fred Child. Every week we not only play or own music but we take a look around Oregon and select another musical artist to share the spotlight with us. Today's Featured Oregon artist is Steve Nielsen from Corvallis. Steve Nielsen has been living in Oregon for 11 years and comes from a musical home in Santa Cruz California. My father. And he's a pianist and a composer and arranger. And since well those who he also played around with a lot of other instruments with all sorts of different instruments coming in and out of the house. You know they usually keep me

away from him because I would try to destroy them trying to find out how to how they work. I remember when I was about five or six. I got in a lot of trouble for busting one of the kids on my father's piano because I was so curious as to how it works. You know I knew that had something to do with strings in there he'd explained it to me and showed me something but I can remember when I saw it so young I couldn't remember what he did to show me where the hammers hit the strings and stuff so I thought well if I pry up the key I'll be able to see it. You know at the time. Although his father provided him with a home environment well versed in Eastern philosophy like most contemporary American use Steve Nelson's musical roots are firmly grounded in good old rock n roll guitar. In college Steve found himself studying piano music theory and jazz improvisation and at the age of 35 his musical an eastern philosophical backgrounds are integrating themselves. Here's Steve Nielsen to describe the transition to Eastern music that happened about four or five years ago when I got my sitar and it just drastically changed my

musical life more than I can explain it. It just opened up a whole new realm of possibilities. I was feeling a little limited by chord structures and chord theory. I felt like I had reached the limits of my abilities to deal with it very well on its own. And so it was a very welcome blessing and a change from when the sitar happened in my life it just really opened me up to a whole universe of music I wasn't really sure about I'd heard Indian music. As a youngster before but really didn't have anything to understand it with I didn't have an instrument to relate to it with and the sitar gave me that opportunity to experience the reality of the music for myself. It's.

That was a piece cold well-wishing by Steven Nielsen from his cassette album entitled water

dragon Volume 2. We'll be back with more music and conversation in the second half of the show with our featured Oregon artist Steven Nielsen. You're listening to the Stations of the Oregon Public Broadcasting Radio Network

Corvallis KOAT FM Portland FM band FM in Pendleton contributor supported radio for Oregon Public Broadcasting at 55 am and ninety one FM. Thanks for joining us on this Saturday afternoon. Still half an hour of the Neil Gladstone and friends radio show yet to come. I'm Fred Child and I'm Audrey Perkins we're hosts this weekend. Every week more of Neil's music is coming up. And Sergio's means guest on casual chatting presents a rebuttal. To the Flat Earth Society we'll hear about one man's past life and how it ended rather abruptly. Don't miss the exciting closing credits at the end of today's program. Yeah that's the best part. But first Neal joins us to introduce a bit of music. You know well ever get an injury you notice how it heals

up. Yeah I got a strawberry on my knee this week you know an injury I mean ever has an injury and you have any idea how many times you've been injured since you were a kid probably. So I was in house and in for athletes like you to millions and you still function properly. What's amazing to me would take it for granted but it's amazing to your body always manages to heal itself and that inspired me to write a song you know for us to really appreciate something that we ordinarily take for granted. This is about how the body works. Health is in the plan. You'd like. To make a change. To.

The body vote but if you go to see. These beauty have seen. Leaving the lead in then heading. To. The mall. Or cancer or. The spleen. To tell your lawyers I'm really glad to. See the body or leave the body with. Summer's best sunscreens. Brains are. Buried. And. It. Says living. On less. Good stuff. Is another. The sudden sudden stop. With. Robot it would. Both.

Survive Chicago it was in Los Angeles there. Was a. Mustang. It lives on. The floor. And doesn't saw green. Until I was I really read. Neither but it was the body of a body. That is. A celebration of how the body works music by Neil Gladstone. Fred you remember when Seward years when interviewed that guy from the Flat Earth Society.

Yeah I couldn't believe that guy. I know we all have our perspective. Yeah it's true. Well fortunately today on casual chatting Sergey I was interviewing a scientist who will set the record straight on that ridiculous theory. I've been looking forward to this. My guest today on casual chatting is Dr. Sandford Trumbull of the gravitation Research Foundation. Dr. Trumbull wishes to offer a rebuttal to an interview we did on an earlier program Dr. trundle. Welcome to casual CHA-CHING. Thank you Sergio. And tell us why you're here. Well I was frankly incensed by your interview with that. Why on earth are We've all heard that tired old story about the earth being flat so many times Heck everybody knows the earth is a sphere. Well I tried to explain but he wouldn't reveal his identity would he and breathing helium to disguise his voice. They always do that. What. Hide their identity all struck you William. And I think the result. He simply confuses these pathetic wrong headed flatter others even further in advance of their paranoia. No science tells us the earth is round

inside and out inside. Well sure the Earth is a round hollow sphere like a giant ping pong ball in space. Come again you're trying to tell me that the earth is hollow. Sure and we're stuck to the surface like magnets on a refrigerator door. Let me get this straight you think Newton and Einstein were wrong that we stay attached to the Earth's surface because we have magnetic heat. That's right. Well you see there really isn't any pull as such between our feet and the Earth's surface because it's nonmagnetic much like a ping pong ball. We stick because there's something magnetic On the other side on the inside surface like water for example. Well that's where the hollow part. Comes in not too far under our feet. There are people much like us sitting there just like we are sticking us to the surface of the earth like a couple of magnets right on the Neath us right down there but they're upside down. Well only relative to us relative to them we're upside down. No you think there are people right underneath us sticking us to the surface of the

hollow earth and that's why we don't fall off. That's it in a nutshell. Doctor do you have any evidence for this assertion. Well I have equations. I think you know see the speed of light in Einstein's equals MC squared. It's a very large number in CQ the factor in my equation that determines an eye doctor a doctor trundle. Does this theory of yours have a name. I call it the wait and see theory. Surely you jest startled from the way I'm a man of science I have to go over my data take me and my data tell me that it's extremely important for us to try to open communication with her in. Yes this is what I call the interior surface of the earth. Well why haven't I ever heard of it before. I read Newsweek. I watch MacNeil-Lehrer call Sagan never brings it up. Sergio there are powerful interests multinational corporations whose greed is best served by you and I not knowing about inner earth and so far they've been able to suppress this information. But you're here aren't you. Yeah well this isn't exactly MacNeil-Lehrer either is it.

Well why would these large corporations care whether we know about the people in SA don't you see. You and I have counterparts magnetic doppelgangers as it were beneath their feet sticking us down right. Well what do you think happens when I move say over here. Why don't I fly off the earth's surface and into space or at least at the ceiling height. I don't know because he must move over here exactly when I do. Whatever move I make he makes it to like working on a mirror so wherever you go he has to go to. And if I walk over there my double has to move when I decide to. No matter what he is doing whether he wants to or not. Life down there must be extremely inconvenient. Sergio You're assuming that we're calling the shots that they do what we want them to do. But maybe when I jump it's because he wants me to. Perhaps that's your experience doctor. But when I do something I know it because I want to not because some upside down in the duplicate

wants me to. So you think you have free will absolutely. But things might not be what they seem. Have you been reading a book turning the pages and then realize that you can't remember anything you've read in the last two pages I suppose. Ever get up and walk into the kitchen. When you get there you can't remember why you're there. Where have you been driving on the freeway and suddenly realize that 10 minutes ago. Brian you weren't aware of driving and you can't remember what happened during that time. I suppose what do you think keeps the car going straight. Do you think you can drive on the freeway without even thinking about it. They're calling the shots down there in the big corporations are trying to get to them. So why would they want to keep getting us whatever ties right by just burger drink cola drive this car. But we're getting wise to them. Now suppose they started aiming their heads at an Earth consumers upside down billboards magazines TV radio. We don't know what's going on down there. They get our doubles to drive to the fast food stand by a burger drink a cola and we have to do the same. Ever go to the market at the moment and

unload the bags and find a spray can of nondairy mandarin oranges are topping in there and think yourself you know why in the heck did I buy this and the fat cats want to control them. Doctor they're not for outer space they're from inner space controlled shoulders. Don't get so excited to control myself. I'm not excited while you're doing so I know you're cornichons he's talking with Dr. Sternberg from Loomis knowing we'll see you next time. I'm Sergio Swain. We're back with our featured Oregon musical artist Stephen Nielsen. Steve composes and

records mostly by himself in his Corvallis home studio. I asked him to share the image he has been self as a musician or gone through a lot of images of myself. I feel that my purpose as a musician is to create an environment with music that allows a person to deal with themself. In a way that they don't feel threatened by their own stuff. And I guess my purpose my vision of myself is just to do that and I'm sure it's going to continue to change and evolve. I don't really have. Any goals as far as making lots of money or getting real popular I just want to keep the world from taking a nosedive any further than it seems to have already. And I think music is a viable way of doing that.

Earlier in the show Steve Nielsen explained how the introduction to the sitar gave them a hands on experience which helped him to understand and appreciate Indian music. I asked him if he could explain to those of us who don't have the experience of playing different kinds of music how we might become better listeners. I think that the most important thing in listening to any foreign kind of music is to have an open mind. Foreign Many something are not used to listening to you and to approach the music as if it was a person you were meeting for the first time. You don't want to step on their toes. You don't want to do impolite things. Particularly with Indian music. Your inner noise is as much an obstacle as outer noise of people having a lot of chatter in their minds. They aren't really listening to the music very well earned. I think just having a certain degree of reverence and acceptance and being willing to to go with the flow so to speak of the music to let it give you a little ride is not going to take you anywhere that

you don't have inside of yourself anyway. It's nothing to be afraid of but it does take exposure to get used to some of the sounds and the ways that the melody moves. Some of the times it's very shocking for people. If you're relaxed it's less of a shock and you might even find that you enjoy it. A thing.

Hang.

On. I am. I am. Where.

Where. Oh. Where. I. Swear. Part of the mind written and recorded by Stephen Nielsen from his cassette album entitled

water dragon Volume 2 Stephen Nielsen's cassettes can often be found at grassroots bookstore in Corvallis OR you can order them by writing to him at seven thirty five North West 18th Street Corvallis Oregon 9 7 3 3 0. Today's Featured Oregon artist Steven Nielsen. All right we only get one take to do this introduction now. So it better be right. This is like fresh or

frozen fish. What do you mean like taped live radio. I GET IT NOW IT'S SO Are either of you going to reincarnation a little bit and just talked on the phone to my mom about it. I was her dad in a past life. So you say that now if you ever know someone people tell you about their past lives they tell you that they were some like Prince in ancient Egypt or something like that. Yeah but they never tell you that they were a stockbroker from Lake Oswego. Yeah I never hear that I ever heard that did you. No. So anyway this is a story now about one of my past lives. One New Year's Eve I was hollin 15:10 a Purina puppy chow through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. How is making a room New Years Eve. And you better

believe I was. I once. Today I own sleep. Had a full look uncreate. And a killer migraine half a mile wide and it was snowing like a bitch. There were seminars in the ditch and you couldn't tell which way was up for sure. The wind was ripped in from the north and I was flipping back and forth like a momma walleye try and shake a lure. And eyeballs burn the lack of para combat signal flares and whether I could stay awake I had my doubts. But if I pulled off for a nap I might get buried where I sat. And then it take a crane pull me out. So I drank a few more rounds of pure read coffee grounds. Used some words and never learned to spell. By now the traction was so bad it took near everything I had just to

keep that heavy mother parallel. Well there was no way I could know as I crippled through the snow with my hand I led the click and out Morse code. But a southern central freight was steamin open throttle straight toward a railroad crossing a half mile down the road. My body ached for sleep like a grizzly bear in heat. And a man can only hold out for so long. And as I passed the sign that said railroad crossing up ahead. Lids dropped one last time and I was gone. I don't know how long I was out or what that nightmare was about. But someone brought me back. And I pried open my eyes just in the Rio as our sprawl and jack knife clean across the track a

screamin air horn split the night as my knuckles twisted Wyatt's and the sound of thunder turned my plasma sour. In through my eyes the pain I saw a mother love untrained bare run down on me at 60 miles an hour. Well I quivered lak a beetle on a bug collectors needle and I whimper as my backbone turned and when I saw them sparks appear the message came home loud and clear only an act of God could stop that train in and then that engine still mine. These stories arise and I heard a sound you know. And as Dale and then my tractor the force. Of a hundred. Thousand or so. And I rode that screamin diesel in and. Amongst my doppelgangers failed me. We seem to have come to the end of another
