Patrizio Buanne

Just discovered Patrizio Buanne, an Italian singer with an amazing voice, oozing of charm amongst other unmentionable obvious qualities. Makes me wish I were young and single again… I would travel just to see him in concert in his native country. His music takes me to Florence and induces feelings I don’t feel very often. Takes my breath away….

Reminiscence of Art Bell

Art Bell has to be one of the most brilliant, intriguing radio talk show hosts of all time. I miss Art in his prime on the radio. His deep, rocky, smokers voice, not that I am promoting smoking (nasty little habit) but some of my fondest memories are listening to Art in the middle of the night. The beginning theme music thumping to announce another fantastic program entertaining you into the darkness of night. The opening theme music was "Chase" from a movie titled “Midnight Express” by Gorgio Moroder. I remember getting goose bumps as this music was being played and my crown chakra would open in anticipation. Occasionally a tear would roll because I loved this man so much and the world he opened my eyes to. He had an affinity for the obscure, insane and the most outrageous information he could get his hands on. His speculations made my heart pound.

Mel’s Hole, was a program I will never forget and it was one of his best. I remember hanging on every word during this entire program and feeling my own heartbeat. Exerp from YouTube: He, Mel, found this hole out on his property in Washington State. He put 80,000ft. of monofilament fishing line down it and never reached the bottom, including other strange anomalies. After being interviewed on Coast to Coast AM radio program, the U.S. gov't came out and gave him $250,000.00 a month to rent his ground. Last time I heard Mel had moved to Australia.

Father Malachi Martin brought the fear of God to the airwaves with chilling recordings of live exorcisms. These would be a great addition to any Halloween night. Then during these programs, Art would play his "Sounds from Hell" which really sounded like being at a crowded mall at Christmas time but I was entertained and isn't that what it's all about? Bottom line...Entertainment without stupidity, not bored out of my everloving mind. Something to look forward to, not like the mindless dribble on the TV. The Brits put out some great stuff however with actual comedy mixed in....... So I digressed a little.


Yes...Art gave everyone a fair shake with no judgments at least from my perspective, even for the clinically insane. I loved him for it and I miss the old Art and his passion for radio.
